The images remind me of one of my dreams where logic and reasoning are thrown out and the pure gist of the thing is taken. I wonder if it is because it is built with vector operations and calculus to determine the closest match or fuzzy matches for essentially everything it eventually determines sans cognition, things would tend to be more fuzzy or quasi-close but not quite there.

> The images remind me of one of my dreams (...) A lot of dreams scenery seems to throw logic and reasoning out of the window. Even small sensory inputs can make a huge difference to a dream sequence. And in many case they don't make sense even in the context of the dream. I haven't personally experienced any hallucinations myself, but some DALL-E images seem awfully familiar to what some people describe. I know that…

Spot on, like the more basic part of a raw dream feed without rhyme or reason. Maybe even laying the groundwork for an experience architecture's input when that day finally comes, who knows.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

What prompts did you use for the infill and detail generation?

Good question! All of them had the same postfix ", studio ghibli, Hayao Miyazaki, in the style of Porco Rosso, steampunk". I used this for all the generations in the hopes of anchoring the style. With the prefix of the prompt I described the image. I started the extension operations with "red seaplane over fantasy mediterranean city" but then I quickly realised that this was making the network generate floating citie…

Maybe Dalle-2 is just secretly a studio Ghibli/Miyazaki movie fan.

first thing I noticed was that it had no distinct features of a basketball. looks more like a bowling ball with the swirly things on it. Kind of adds to your dream thought.

DALL-E is truly magic. It got me believing we are close to AGI. I wonder what Gary Marcus or Filip Pieknewski think about it. Surely they must be eating crow.

When I see some of the bad pictures it produces I think we are nowhere near AGI

Most people would draw even worse pictures given the same prompts.

Yesterday I saw one of Gandalf eating samples at Costco. I was laughing hysterically for a minute. AI is not supposed to have a sense of humor. That was supposed to be the last province of the human, but it is quite awhile since a human made me laugh like that.

I don't think intelligence requires humor. It could be just a quirk of our brains.

We are not. But maybe we are closer to replicating some of our internal brain workings.

Human dream sequences often have problems with faces, text and mirrors. You can train yourself to try to focus on these features when dreaming.

Most people in our dreams don't even have faces that we would recognize. When they do have faces, sometimes it is not even the right face.

Can't wait for 'Tell HN: how I make mid six figures as a prompt engineer'.

"We let our graphic designer go so we could onboard a AI Prompt Engineer" "How much are we paying him?" "About $225k plus bonus and equity" "And how much was the graphic designer paid? "$55k" "..."

It's the graphic design industry's own fault for not gradually renaming themselves as Pixel Intensity Engineers.
