Have anyone given a prompt to Dall-e of designing a company website and included “make it pop!”? Maybe the AI will finally get what designers always complained about annoying clients.

Prompt:

> Create a website design for a company that sells propane and propane accessories. The name of the company is Strickland Propane, a local propane dealership. Make it pop.

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…

It will probably get boring the same time HNers stop confusing “hmm this isn’t that interesting guys” as notable commentary that needs to be shared.

DALL-E generate us some pics of unhappy HN curmudgeons

"DALL-E" in titles is about to be replaced with "Stable Diffusion." The beta website is already live but the interesting part will be specialized fine-tuned models based on public weights. There should be more technical experimentation since Stable Diffusion weights are only a few GBs and inference can be run on any recent GPU. There might also be more controversies because it can create more uncensored images.

Somebody posted a nice comparison between DALL-E 2, Mid Journey, and Stable Diffusion: https://twitter.com/fabianstelzer/status/1561019187451011074.

If they had bothered to read the license agreement they would know whoever generates the art owns the copyright. Since it's a pay-for action the copyright is owned by the payee. So really they generated these and never bothered to do the research of their own question.

OK, so I give you license to use this URL I just generated to generate your own stuff. It's pay for action (send me a penny if you find anything worthwhile), and the copyright is owned by the payee: https://images.google.com/

The URL has not been "generated" in the same sense. You are retrieving an existing string. The images from google are not "generated" in the same sense, they are indexed from google's search algorithm.

The generative models, specifically for DALLE here, compute pixel unique images. You might say these models index a subset of an extremely high dimensional space (pixel count * RGB color values) using a query. Traditional search engines build an index from nothing and then use a search query to find the best matches in a more discrete space.

Well then it will never get boring, will it... Fair enough, it's just been striking to see how many of these sort of posts have been popping up. Like I said, it's still fun and worth a look.

Perhaps as a blogger I am extra salty when relatively low effort stuff gets upvoted over things that take a lot of work to write (in some cases, those being things I have written). But hey, that's life.

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.

For the past few years, I’ve long considered Hollywood failed adaptations to be a non-issue because so long as industrial civilization exists, media companies are going to squeeze what they can out of IPs. So while Game of Thrones might have ended quite poorly, I figure we’re only a few decades away from a different rights-holder giving it another go. Thus, I look forward to the AI-generated versions of famous works…

The trouble with this, for me, is that wouldn’t such a world necessarily mean the end of new actors (not to mention new worlds and stories)? After all, why hire unknowns when you can stack the cast with the A-listers of all time?

And if everyone stacks the cast thusly, there are no opportunities for new actors to work with old and be mentored + opportunity to simply works since every bit of work is what adds up to make a journeyperson.

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.

As a professional artist, this sounds like hell.
