Yeah, you just can't let all media, all the cost and hard work of millions of photographers, animators, filmmakers, etc be completely consumed and devalued by one company just because it's a very cool technical trick. The more powerful these services become the more obvious that will be. What OpenAI does is amazing, but they obviously cannot be allowed to capture the value of every piece of media ever created — it'll…

It’s funny, people dreamed of AI robots doing the shitty work that nobody wants to do so that we are free to pursue things we actually want to do.

But in reality it seems like the opposite is going to be true. AI is automating the creative, intellectual work and leaving the rest to us.

Visual sharpness at the expense of wider-scale coherence (see: sliding/floating walking woman in Tokyo demo or tiny people next to giant people in Lagos demo) seems to be a local optimum consistently achieved by today's SOTA models in all domains.

This is neat and all but mostly just a toy. Everything I've seen has me convinced either we are optimizing the wrong loss functions or the architectures we have today are fundamentally limited. This should be understood for what it is and not for what people want it to be.
