A few weeks ago I was skeptical that this technology would get past the emotional response we get from procedurally generated game environments, but I've been convinced otherwise. The emotional response I get from some of the best of these images are novel and thought provoking. Makes me wonder what percent of what makes us human is now algorithmically solved....
How long until we can run this over shows like Star Trek Voyager/DS9 and Seinfeld to achieve believable 16:9 scenes?
Temporal coherence will still take a while to solve but it's not undoable. Making things that look correct upon closer inspection rather than just looking "nice" will probably take some degree of human curation for quite a while.
Feels like a race to the bottom. More features, lower cost, every week. No idea where it’ll level out, but I like it. Just bought some more Dalle credits today because it’s so much fun. This is a revolution in ‘art technology’ it’s like Steve Job’s bicycle for the mind. Best I could do a month ago was a stick figure in MS Paint, but now..
That is still the best you can do... which happens to be about the best I can do! Just like my introduction to the computer at a young age has atrophied my handwriting quality.

Someone has been upscaling DS9 already[1]. Obviously not release anywhere. Not sure I'd want them in 16:9, hd 4:3 like the other HD releases of TNG and TOS would do me. I understand they shot on video so an official true HD remaster is likely to never happen. 1. https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/324466-tutorial-how-to-u...
But it did use a lot of early CGI that would need to be redone.

I really doubt it's related at all, though everyone would think it looks that way. SD has only been out a week and this feature would have taken much more than that to build, test, enroll demo users, make a webpage for, etc.
I can't prove it of course but it wouldn't surprise me if they had this pretty much done already long ago (dall-e has been out for several months at this point). The actual implementation doesn't look like it'd take more than a few days to code honestly (and they've got quite competent coders over there). Only speculation of course.
This is cool and useful! Putting "Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer" in the kitchen in 2022 does not look good!

That's still a race to the bottom if the price isn't going up.
That’s not what a race to the bottom is. It’s just competition, which is usually good.
I don't want to be a doomer and have have surely unknowingly misused terms as well, but its definitely noticable how these originally clearly defined terms are getting used in entirely new ways.
And it's not just with technical terms like this, it also applies to originally obvious terms such as racism, sexism etc which have lost their original meaning entirely
Obviously, it’s going to be an incredible boon for content creation. I suppose that in the future it’ll make creating videos an order of magnitude easier, which will allow a single person or a small team to make a high quality movie where all the assets are generated, so that’ll really give us an eye into a lot of people’s imaginations, for better or worse.
To leave a thought provoking example, what’s going to happen when every adolescent has the ability to make a convincing deepfake?
It’ll put nation states in a similar position than they already have with crypto, where they wonder if they should ban, or regulate… doing nothing wont be an option.
