First time to hear "Prompt engineering" but I feel familiar with this term. It's my daily job to adjust google search queries to get the information I need, even though sometimes I don't know what I need.First time to hear "Prompt engineering" but I feel really familiar with this term.

Prompt "engineering" will last a couple of years, until the UI improves to the point any dummy can do it, just like with instagram filters.

Right, the best prompt engineers might develop the best prompt UIs.

Me too, that's awkward

They choose who to accept based on their shared accounts (linkedin, instagram, etc).

Real name LinkedIn probably. Basically the user needs to be traceable, that’s the Microsoft/US “safe anything policy” right?

Wait until the world becomes oversaturated with AI generated imagery and then make a killing when people realize that real artists can actually produce something original.

Have you seen the Dall-E outputs? If anything they do better than the vast majority of artists in terms of originality. Sure there's probably some people out there who can do better, but no where near the amount of people employed in the field today.

Err... more original than the artists that originally conceptualized most of the things it's creating? No, I don't see that at all. Certainly not better than the "vast majority".

For github & google, I'd put my own money on it being >80% in 5 years. Maybe not a whole year's salary though, I'm a big baller

Well, you will lose but I basically don't believe your claim is anything more than hyperbolic bullshit as no one who is working as a SWE is actually spending only 1% of their time programming as per your initial comment.

some software engineers spend most of their time designing, communicating with other teams, and managing operations. It becomes the case as you get more experienced, depending on your staff engineer path.

Also there is nothing preventing Stock Image Sites themselves using Dall-E to generate additional images. Heck they can use their own existing images for training (which the other's can't due to copyright issues) to increase the portfolio, but the Stock Image Sites can access free public images. So, counter-intuitively it may strengthen Stock Image Sites value

Considering how DALL-E is fed with so many stock images that it sometimes spontaneously generates specific stock image websites' watermarks on output,[1] this is the stupidest, blandest possible ouroboros. [1] https://twitter.com/kevin2kelly/status/1551964984325812224

Just because "Stock Image Sites" haven't sued Dall-E, doesn't mean it is legal.

The minute Dall-E becomes a threat, these sites will enforce Dall-E to retrain from public / creative commons images. But Stock Image sites will and be one-up on Dall-E

It's almost you don't how to play chess or business strategy.

There absolutely nothing upsetting about that to the CEO of your company. I would expect the destruction of your lifetime of accumulated economic value at an age when you can’t possibly retrain to be able to support your previous lifestyle would be rather upsetting to you. Or if not then I would not call that a typical emotional response.

I would be upset, but that is separate to the question posed of whether we should be trying to innovate and automate. The answer is that innovation and productivity should be sought, even though it's understandably not fun for the people whose skills are being commoditized in the moment. At no point in history was it a good idea to purposefully stop innovation just to preserve some job that was about to be automated.…

And that is all well and good until the pace of automation outstrips the community's ability to absorb the externality. Then it's not going to be the AI dream future, but heads on spikes. We have hit those points in history before.

Nobody knows whether or not training a NN is fair use. If it were ruled to be not fair use then it would basically shut down a large chunk of ML research in the US, as it's not just Copilot that is training on copyrighted data. All the large language models require copyrighted data such as web crawls as there is just not enough public domain material around. So even if you are right, and courts rule that training is…

> Nobody knows whether or not training a NN is fair use A NN producing a copyrighted work without respecting the license is not fair use, we know that much.

Eventually, like in the music industry, we will have dedicated legal teams taking anyone to court who is possibly using a combination of those 5 colors out of the 50 million color combinations we "own" simply because filling your work schedule with court cases is the right thing to do.

The funniest ones will be where ML independently reproduces a picture from unrelated materials with humans making a futile effort trying to figure out how it obtained this result.

open source isn't the same as public domain. the code is still copyrighted and has a specific license that has to be adhered to in order to be allowed to use it

What about my biological intelligence? Let's say I'm just training myself (learning) by browsing and reading a lot of open source projects, not even bothering to check what the licenses say. Am I possibly violating any license? And I will produce some output based on this, writing code at work (that output will not be copy-pasted, but certainly based on the "training" I received from reading through the open-source c…

Ah yes, I envision a language where every method is someones property with various subscription levels for each. Imagine how well maintained everything would be, how rich in features....

Would that be similar to a "prompt engineer" role?

Think people who think this is a job will be deluding themselves, eventually the magic of getting a good image or a bad image will just be a set of known good styles it generates at the start that you can then pick and choose from in the backend invisible to the actual thing you type. Same way how Dall-e 2 solves it's diversity issues. The goal of OpenAI isn't to build a whole new industry of AI Artists, it's to make…

Ah, yes, because AWS famously didn't build a whole new industry of engineers
