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 ma…
Unless copyright changes a lot, the A-listers are going to expect a lot of money for a film with their name on the poster and their carefully curated likeness throughout, whether they have to turn up to shoot it or not.

#43I'd love to see what it had come up with if simply prompted for "Album cover for Nevermind by Nirvana"

Totally, but their estates won’t be as precious (as we’re seeing with holograms already). And once a certain critical mass is built up, it’s built up — and it’s be foolish not to use it.

#45I 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…
I actually thought there were some interesting things revealed here. Particularly interesting to me were the Nevermind and Abbey Road results. 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 span…
For me, what was interesting to see was that it didn't manage very well with the Abbey Road question.
I had imagined that some parts of the training data would consist of the actual image, and it would find a good match for it somewhere deep into it's artificial consciousness.

#46An upvote for whoever can give me a prompt to generate an image of someone who's been massaged so much their body has been flattened, as if they were made of dough or jelly or something.
I spent ages on this earlier getting nowhere. I'm starting to think DALL-E is better if you don't really know what you want and you're just fishing for ideas.

do you want a realistic looking one? 3d rendered? what do you have in mind exactly?

#48Although 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.
> taking a high concept output created by AI artists and touching it up to perfection. 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.
The humans are also the people that come up with the concept in the first place...
Also sounds like an upside down use of the tool, since AI generated art really isn't that great at composition once you've got over the magic of it being able to respond to the prompt at all (but is much better at texture and filling in boring details), and the current state of the art AI tools can produce images which conform to a human guideline sketch...

The AI is enabling the creativity of laypeople. That's still an enhancement, even if they don't have the technique to make a polished product

Another one. Prompt: > Create a website design for ACME Corporation, a company which produces a wide array of products that are dangerous, unreliable or preposterous. Include customer quotes from a dissatisfied Wile E. Coyote prominently on the page. Make it pop. Results: * https://i.imgur.com/WK3QBj9.png * https://i.imgur.com/Bghgzjt.png * https://i.imgur.com/XLyYx76.png * https://i.imgur.com/QTSyFTc.png
More. Prompt: > Website design for Weyland-Yutani Corporation. The Company was founded in 2099 by the merger of Weyland Corp and Yutani Corporation. Weyland-Yutani is primarily a technology supplier, manufacturing synthetics, starships and computers for a wide range of industrial and commercial clients, making them a household name. The website design for The Company is mobile first. Make it pop. Results: * https://i…
Thanks a lot!
Hopefully I am not asking too much, but can you run the same prompts without the “make it pop”? So we can learn what is “pop”
