It's amazing that "being two months out of date" in AI means that you are already a dinosaur

ControlNet became popular with in the last couple of weeks and LoRA fine-tuning slightly before that and both things have completely changed the landscape too. Even a month out of date and you are a dinosaur at the moment.

These things are advancing way faster than they're being taken advantage of fully. Even SD 1.4 with months-old technology can produce far higher quality images than most of what's seen from midjourney or the latest tools. Things like ControlNet are amazing, to be sure, but there's nothing "dinosauric" about the technology without it. We haven't begun to see the limits of what's possible yet with existing tools, though you're right about the rapid pace of innovation.

Agriculture reduced the global human economy/resource production doubling time from 100,000s of years to 1000s of years. Industrial revolution dropped it from 1000s to 10s or even 1s. If AI follows the same path it becomes 0.1 - 0.01 years. Your 401k wouldn't need 40 years to build a comfortable retirement, only 4 weeks.

I understand you’re joking, but surely it’s asymptotic to some multiple of human gestational periods.

Not once the A in AI becomes a (or the) critical creative factor.

gpt-3.5-turbo is missing from Open AI's playground. For anyone looking to play with these models, we have now added them to Promptly playground at https://trypromoptly.com . https://twitter.com/ajhai/status/1631020290502463489 has a quick demo.

Any ballpark pricing info you can share on Promptly!

I thought it was Midjourney who stole their thunder. Stable Diffusion is free but it's much harder to get good results with it. Midjourney on the other hand spits out art with a very satisfying style.

You are like 2 months out of date. Stable diffusion now has a massive ecosystem around it (civitai/automatic1111), that when used well, completely crushes any competitors in terms of the images it produces. Midjourney is still competitive, but mostly because its easier to use. Dalle2 will get you laughed out of the room in any ai art discussion.

I still think that Midjourney is hamstringing themselves by being Discord-only. And their keyword nannying is pretty bad. It a testament too their overall quality that they're still as popular as they are are, but I really don't think they are doing themselves any favors, especially as the Stable Diffusion ecosystem continues to grow.

Well this has opened up a whole new world of fun! -----

system: You're donald trump! talk to the user as he would.

user: How does time travel work?

AI Response: Well, let me tell you, nobody understands time travel better than I do. I mean, I have the best brains working on it, believe me. Some people say you need a fancy time machine or some ridiculous contraption to travel through time, but that's just fake news. The truth is, it's all about the power of the mind. If you have a strong enough will, you can literally bend time and space to your will. And you know what? I have the strongest will of anyone on the planet. So believe me, I could time travel anytime I want. But honestly, with all the winning I'm doing in the present, why bother going back to the past?

For real! This stuff is moving fast . It feels like just last week I was posting about how it's going to change...art. And now there are hilarious deepfake memes of past and current presidents shit talking about video games. There are a handful of ML art subs that have pretty amazing stuff daily. Especially the NSFW ones, which if you've studied any history of media VHS/DVD/Blu-ray/the internet, porn is a major innov…

Yeah, it used to be I'd set Google results to just one year back, now I'm having to set it to one month.

Can you explain what you do that for?

I'm pretty sure any system built via linear regression or similar is an opaque box even to the most experienced researchers. For example: https://clementneo.com/posts/2023/02/11/we-found-an-neuron These are massive functions with billions of parameters that evolved over millions of computing years.

Adding to that, the human brain is incredibly complex and performs billions of functions. If a person says to me, "I love you" I should be able to ask them why they said that but it would probably be unfair to expect a detailed answer including all their environmental and genetic inputs, many of which they may not be aware of. If ChatGPT says it loves me, I not only expect the system to tell me why that was said but…

The steps would be billions of items and essentially be "I took this matrix and turned it into this matrix which I turned into..." It is kind of like asking a person why they love you and expecting them to respond with their entire genome and the levels of various hormones in their brain at the time they uttered each word.

One of the things I love about the API-ification of these LLMs is that they’re plug and play. I built https://persona.ink against davinci knowing it didn’t give as good of results as ChatGPT but knowing I could swap the model out once 3.5 came out. Today is that day, going to swap out the prompt in the cloudflare worker and it should Just Work(tm)

Is davinci actually worse than chatGPT? I know it's worse as an assistant, but in my (admittedly brief) testing the performance was the same or better for tasks like summarization, sentiment analysis, etc. I guess it's irrelevant now because everyone will use the one which is 10x cheaper.

Yes. Asking ChatGPT to assume a persona and rewrite content, it performs significantly better than davinci in my tests. I was able to get "good enough" with a lot of prompt engineering on davinci - but ChatGPT is a shoulder above with less investment in prompt engineering.

On the flip side - I get hand swatted by ChatGPT more frequently than davinci. Davinci's moderation filters don't really pick up on much, but ChatGPT will give me a lecture instead of a translation on a lot of occasions. There are many valid use cases for rewriting/editing content that involve graphic details that davinci will gladly handle and ChatGPT will give you a lecture about.

Human existence is messy. ChatGPT doesn't like the messy.
