BlenderGPT: Use commands in English to control Blender with OpenAI's GPT-4

The benefit is that it's easier to request.

>I don't really agree with their level of "open"ness

I see this complaint a lot, but after watching a lot of interviews with the founders, I think they have by and large taken the right approach. They're trying to drip feed things at a rate that allows it to be digested enough by all parties before releasing more. They actually appear to be quite principled thinkers on this topic.

It can get a bit better if the prompt is made more detailed. For instance here are the four results I got for "Professional black and white photo of Paris in the 1950s, on a rainy afternoon. Leica 35mm lens. --s 1000" (--s 1000 lets it 'stylize' a bit more).

Things still get a little weird in the distance (particularly in photo 3), but I think overall it's a bit better. People who are really good at writing prompts could probably do even better, although one of the strengths of MidJourney V4 and V5 is that it can give good results without the traditional paragraph of "incredible, award winning, photo of the year" etc.

Just look at JavaScript. Types don't matter so much, look at the modern web.

Again. Use cases. Let me see. I am an artist, I have visual thinking, for me idea is build trough sketching and iteration. Why sketches are important? Because in creating something, the low level representation (as in wireframes for UX) gives a stimulus to a different view. For me is a habit to preserve all the sketches and make revisions without thinking hard. This is the design creative process. Ideas emerge with switching between System 1 and System 2 thinking.

The trend with generative design automatically pushes the user towards high fidelity thinking. I am afraid that linguistic interfaces are in conflict with a natural human creativity. They are useful as a tool for specific use cases, but the idea that they will replace or augment the design process is ludicrous.

Another problem for me is the post effect of prompting. Millions of people will have little to no incentive to learn. This is gamification of the design process, with unknown social and economical effect. People have a tendency to search for the easy question and answer. This is not progress at all.

The push from A.I. marketing is immense and people are freaking out. This is the first tech product which is having a negative impact before even reaching broad adoption.

Suddenly A.I. ethics teams are fired and nobody has any issue with alignment and black box? Ok, computer.

For me, the responsible thing is governments to regulate the implementation process with frameworks which are not so hard to build on ethical basis. The Roman law will always give a loophole for exploitation by the big corporations.

Don't get me wrong. ChatGPT is a very powerful tool for summarization, sentiment analysis, text classification, codebase documentation etc. But the design industry implementation in my view is not well thought. I would like to have assistant, not generator. As a designer, there are a ton of use cases for automation, interactive help, etc. Sadly, we are going in a direction which will produce polished mediocrity on a grand scale. Soon we will need fact checking A.I. and A.I. content blocking everywhere.

The other day, I shot some footage with my Blackmagic camera and proceed to do some editing and color correction. Virtually nowhere, I had the need for linguistic interface. We have powerful tools in our disposal as it is. The content is the problem. Dopamine driven short forms are changing the way people interact with the world. The average attention span in 2000 was 12 seconds, in 2015 – 8.25 seconds, today is less. So the tech industry tries hard to convince all of us that the progress is in merging with the machines and living 24/7 in A.I. induced coma? No, thanks. Keep your SOMA for yourselves. We like it natural here:)
