I feel like I'm looking at aliens wearing people's skin. https://kota.is/qpxa1.png Nightmare inducing. I hate it. https://kota.is/X57J5.png Ugh, this legit makes my stomach turn. https://kota.is/Q2hUI.jpg It's like a bad amusement park ride; no thanks.

This is worse than SD 1

Yes. OpenAI is quickly becoming the thought police through ChatGPT. Yesterday I asked it to give a description of a situation simulating that it was for an adult novel. It told me it was unethical to do that. I asked it if adult novels or adult novel writers were unethical. Banned immediately after asking that question. Edit: I wish the people downvoting would provide a reply. Otherwise you are doing the same as Chat…

OpenAI has been very clear that their models are not to be used for sexual content generation and that you're in the wrong place if that's what you want. This is both in the content policy and in many public statements.

I find it hard to believe you've been banned though. I've generated many terrible things since it launched. Sometimes I get the orange highlight, but no suspension.

Don't try to get in a fight with a computer. You'll lose.

I've never met a computer that I couldn't destroy.

Fighting software on the other hand is like fighting Saitama. Most of the time it won't care and will just let you win by default, but if you annoy the software you'll get blasted.

You're not entitled to anyone's opinion. Secondly, I think the silence and downvotes are conveying a strong message, people don't agree with you. Your faux outrage about thought policing is a non-starter for serious conversation.

The downvotes are not meant to convey disagreement (although they do too often in practice, sadly).

That aside, both OP and you should wait a bit before judging on that basis, since comment votes can swing wildly as more people notice the story and come to read the comments. In fact, it looks like OP has already been upvoted back.

I asked Bing Chat why it says it can't create images for me. >The Bing Image Creator feature is a new feature that allows you to create images with your words. It is currently available in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. So just one hour after Google Bard we have yet another senselessly geoblocked feature. edit: Okay, the separate link ( https://www.bing.com/images/create ) works, so I'm…

For those using it on the Bing mobile app, in the lower right corner click Apps then you'll see a link to the image creator.

I've not played with it much but I'd say the quality and ease of use was better than Stable Diffusion but not quite on par with Midjourney.

I feel like website owners are going to have to block Bing's crawler soon. They are effectively remixing content from multiple sites using AI to create knowledge panels that reduce clicks to the actual websites. Not sure how this dynamic will work long term if it keeps going, Bing and Google are going to kill off a lot of websites and then will have nothing to scrape for content

I would be willing to bet a lot of money that no websites are going to block Google and Bing's crawlers over this. Less traffic is better than no traffic.

Agreed, it's what happened during each of the major changes to google images. Every image site got their traffic tanked, but you still want to be in there.

I asked GPT a while back to pick a theme to explore in 5 art pieces, it picked mental health and one it decided it liked was "the weight of anxiety". SD didn't really capture it very well IMO, this does. Here's the results https://www.bing.com/images/create/title3a-the-weight-of-anx... https://www.bing.com/images/create/title3a-the-weight-of-anx... https://www.bing.com/images/create/title3a-the-weight-of-anx... https…

Funny that the sentiment on HN around this is so toxic and hateful that you need to explicitly justify something that is obviously extremely cool.

I don’t hate it - I love it.

I’m just sick of reading that it’s the future, I mean a hype cycle. It’s going to take all our jobs, I mean it’s shit. It can beat a grandmaster at chess, I mean it can’t win at tik-tak-toe.

It’s somewhere in the middle of all these things. It’s clearly groundbreaking technology that will be useful in many ways for a long time to come, but is still in early days with bugs to be fixed, and key features not yet imagined.

The conversation here could just be a little more interesting and varied.

Nobody goes to websites anymore. Its all apps for Youtube, Netflix and Tiktok.

Yes, the UI part is a mess. Now they have three UIs to search: old search UI, Chat like UI and image generation UI. To make this worse they are not consistent in anyway, sometimes when I scroll in the chat UI it throws me to useless search UI, and each seem to have different font sizes, colors etc. It feels like hodgepodge of things tacked together.

That is because they are all alpha UIs built by teams that need the ability to iterate independently.
