Still mixed feelings on DALL-E, the book is good though. Useful some well-explained concepts.

Interesting that the generated drawings often have strange faces/hands. Is it because they are more complex shapes? Because we notice issues with them more?

Also does voice generation from text! And remove filler words. Some cool stuff in there.

Crazy stuff. Also the generated faces

Very interesting discussion. Computers' ability to solve tasks goes from 'impossible' to boring as soon as they solve it! Though I am still regularly impressed by GPS...

I’m midway in the philosophizing here, but my point so far is obvious enough: The ability of a machine to do or outdo something humans do is interesting once at most. Deep Blue isn’t playing chess anymore and Watson isn’t on “Jeopardy!” because nobody cares. It doesn’t matter. We humans need to see the human doing it: Willie Mays making the catch that doesn’t look possible. When it comes to art, we need to see a woman or a man struggling with the universal mediocrity that is the natural lot of all of us and somehow out of some mélange of talent, skill, and luck doing the impossible, making something happen that is splendid and moving—or funny, or frightening, or whatever the artist set out to do.

I don't know if I am as blown away as Alex but this is very cool. Like machine pair programming with text.

This is the kind of thing where you think "oh sure that would be a neat side project" but the reality is an immense amount of effort
