I've been complaining for years about WikiLeaks not being a wiki -- no one wants to listen....
Wiki means "quick". Are you complaining about the speed of their publishing submitted information?

> means it's harder to know what's true and what's not The danger for society is in not already knowing that is the case, since it's relatively trivial, without AI, to make fake content.
Photoshop is a pistol, this thing is a gatling gun.
We are way past that. If anything, trivialising and democratising the generation of fake content, will educate the masses. Perhaps, bring back the trust for science, which we need a lot.

I'm inclined to agree, but if it were coherent I'd take it over what platforms like netflix do and chop off the tops and bottom of the content so it'll fit 16:9.
What if there is critical visual content in the half of the view that you're removing. Television is a visual medium, one could assume that a good filmmaker would be using the full viewport afforded them.
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..
You're forgetting (or not knowinng?) NVIDIA Canvas that came out one year ago, give or take. Literally turns stick figure complexity drawing into photorealistic stuff.
And every time I drag that little square reticle to fill in a 128x128 patch of an image, you can be sure it'll be a 15 second API call that I'm charged $0.25 for. Yipee! Very open.
This is cool and useful! Putting "Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer" in the kitchen in 2022 does not look good!
Why would Google hold back on releasing Imagen if there are competitors that are publicly available already? Imagen isn't special anymore.
No one has actually figured out a business for this yet. Sure people are paying small amounts to play around with DALL-E, but it's not a business model, it's basically just a subsidised tech demo at the moment. What will the business model actually be? I imagine there's a market for a stock-photo style service that has a very large number of good images for very diverse topics, but DALL-E etc are a bit low level for…
But my guess is that the market for “programmatically created good enough images quickly” is larger than the market for “inspired, perfected hand drawn digital images”.

Doesn't make sense to me why OpenAI has kept DALL-E closed source for so long. I can only guess either safety from misuse or leveraging it for money. At this rate though, Stable Diffusion is going to dwarf it
Wasn't OpenAI supposed to "democratize deep learning"? It seems more like they were trying to accomplish the opposite.

That’s not what a race to the bottom is. It’s just competition, which is usually good.
There is generally a negative connotation to race to the bottom. The Investopedia definition captures this: The race to the bottom refers to a competitive situation where a company, state, or nation attempts to undercut the competition's prices by sacrificing quality standards or worker safety (often defying regulation), or reducing labor costs.
This appears to the the exact opposite, a race to provide more services and more features for a lower price, based on optimising and/or lower profit margins. AKA Capitalism actually working for a change.

That was fast, looks like artists can't tell, AI wins first prize in an art competition! https://www.vice.com/en/article/bvmvqm/an-ai-generated-artwo...
That was the State Fair fine arts competition.. I wouldn't exactly say you're about to fool the MOMA
