OpenAI's DALL-E 2: A dream tool and existential threat to visual artists

#artificialintelligence

The greatest artistic tool ever built, or a harbinger of doom for entire creative industries? OpenAI's second-generation DALL-E 2 system is slowly opening up to the public, and its text-based image generation and editing abilities are awe-inspiring.



AI asked to generate images of 'the last selfies ever taken' produces nightmarish results

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Humans snapping photos of themselves with melting skin, blood smeared faces and mutated bodies, while standing in front of a world that is burning is what the DALL-E AI believes will be the last selfies taken at the end of times. DALL-E AI, developed by OpenAI, is a new system that can produce full images when fed natural language descriptions and TikToker Robot Overlords simply asked it to'show the last selfie ever taken.' The nightmarish results each show a human holding a phone and behind them are scenes of bombs dropping, colossal tornados and cities on fire, along with zombies standing in the middle of the destruction. One of the selfies is a animated image of a man wearing what looks like riot gear. He slowly moves his head around with a look as if his life is flashing before his eyes while bombs fall from the sky around him.


Another Scary Prophesy From the Google Engineer Who Thinks an A.I. Came Alive

Slate

This article is from Big Technology, a newsletter by Alex Kantrowitz. When I sat down with Blake Lemoine last week, I was more interested in the chatbot technology he called sentient--LaMDA--than the sentience issue itself. Personhood questions aside, modern chatbots are incredibly frustrating (ever try changing a flight via text?). So if Google's tech was good enough to make Lemoine, one of its senior engineers, believe it was a person, that advance was worth investigating. As our conversation began, Lemoine revealed Google had just fired him (you can listen to our conversation in full on the Big Technology Podcast) following his widely covered decision to reveal to the public that he believes LaMDA is a sentient A.I. When I wrote up the news, and it became an international story.
