Although AI artists will destroy a lot of jobs, it will also create demand for new jobs for people who specialize in “paint overs” – taking a high concept output created by AI artists and touching it up to perfection. Or perhaps even beyond just a paint over, and into the realm of recreating an entire AI artwork but with a human touch to get details just right. Looking forward to it.
I wonder how long the novelty of DALL-E will persist. HN seems to upvote anything titled "I did X with DALL-E". This is a fun post, but it's not that interesting or surprising. Still worth a look don't get me wrong, but personally didn't learn anything new from it. (eg recreating the famous pink Floyd cover with "Outline of prism on a black background in the middle of scene splits a beam of light coming from the left…
Maybe the AI will finally get what designers always complained about annoying clients.

When you put it like that, it sounds like a nightmare up side down world. It's not AI that's the tool for enhancing human creativity. It's humans that are the AI's tool, cleaning up the edge cases the AI artist can't handle (yet). It destroys creative jobs that give joy to people and creates assembly line jobs for them to slog in.
Look, it's trained on these images. It's really great and cool and all - but it's retrieving things that it was trained on. Show me something original it did.

Just like images after text, pretty sure once the novelty of images ends we'll move to animations, music, movies, computer games, and so on.
Thus, I look forward to the AI-generated versions of famous works that deepfake the original cast into speaking (hopefully) better-written dialogue. Imagine when this technology is widespread, fanfic authors rendering their interpretation of works with the descendants of DALL-E. Everyone gets the dream adaptations and sequels and finales they want.

Nevermind because it showed this weakness in the model in understanding what a dollar bill is. The most novel result being the image where the baby's visage appears inside the dollar.
Regarding Abbey Road, I found it interesting that the model's concept of a public person spans their lifetime evidenced by the images where the contemporary images are used. Also interesting to me is the model's weakness in understanding specific people.
Then again though, I haven't been clicking on every DALL-E post so maybe this is old news.
