Removing these areas to mitigate misuse is a good thing and worth the trade off.

Companies like OpenAI have a responsibility to society. Imagine the prompt “A photorealistic Joe Biden killing a priest”. If you asked an artist to do the same they might say no. Adding guiderails to a machine that can’t make ethical decisions is a good thing.

This is definitely a measure to avoid bad PR. But I don't think it's just for that; these models do have potential to do harm and companies should take some measures to prevent these. I don't think we know the best way to do that yet, so this sort of 'non-training' and basic filtering is maybe the best way to do it, for now. It would be cool if academics could have the full version, though.

A friend of mine was studying graphic design, but became disillusioned and decided to switch to frontend programming after he graduated. His thesis advisor said he should be cautious, because automation/AI will soon take the jobs of programmers, implying that graphic design is a safer bet in this regard. Looks like his advisor is a few years from being proven horribly wrong.

I mean was he really wrong? As models like OpenAI Codex get more powerful over time, they will start eating into large chunks of dev work as well...

So what does the future of human creativity look like when an AI can generate possibly infinite variations of an idea.

AI becomes a tool for artists to use - generative art has been around for a long time, now that particular genre of art will presumably become much more prominent.

For anyone pondering such questions, I would recommend reading "The Past, Present, and Future of AI Art" - https://thegradient.pub/the-past-present-and-future-of-ai-ar...

Is this limited to what their service directly hosts / generates for them?

It's their service, their call.

I have some hobby projects, almost nobody uses them, but you bet I'll shut stuff down if I felt something bad was happening, being used to harass someone, etc. NOT "because bad PR" but because I genuinely don't want to be a part of that.

If you want some images / art made for you don't expect someone will make them for you. Get your own art supplies and get to work.

This is mind blowing. I was not expecting the sketch style images to actually look like sketches. Style transfer based sketches never look like sketches. This and the current AI generated art scene makes it looks like that artwork is now a "solved" problem. See AI generated art on twitter etc. There is a strong relation between the prompt and the generated images but just like GPT-3, it fails to fully understand what…

I would caution that artwork is only 'solved' with relatively simple text prompts. To create a novel painting with a precise mix of elements that would take a paragraph or more to explain is still tough, though DALL-E 2 does seem like a big step towards that.

At this point with WaveNet, GPT-3, Codex, DeepFakes and Dall-E 2, you cannot believe anything you see, hear, watch, read on the internet anymore as an AI can easily generate nearly anything that can be quickly believable by millions.

The internet's own proverb has never been more important to keep in mind. A dose of skepticism is a must.

Am I the only one to think that the AI world is divided into 2 groups:

1. Deepmind, who solved go, protein folding, and that seems really onto something.

2. Everyone else, spending billions to build machines that draw astronauts on unicorns, and smartish bot toys.

Very cool stuff. For me, the most interesting was the ability to take a piece of art and generate variations of it. Have a favorite painter? Here's 10,000 new paintings like theirs.

That was also my favourite concept, especially with OpenAI Jukebox (https://openai.com/blog/jukebox/). The idea of having new music in the style of your favourite artist is amazing.

However the fidelity of their music AI kinda sucks at this point, but I'm sure we'll get pitch perfect versions of this concept as the singularity gets closer :)
