DALL-E 2 adds 'black' /'female' ; Microsoft is To Retire This AI; A radical new project to democratize AI; A million people on DALL-E's waitlist
I hope that you enjoy the latest AI news and insights, make sure to check the Web3 section at the end! Second, that these defined categories have equally defined external manifestations on your face. Like many AIs designed to create artwork in various mediums based on prompts, it takes practice and skill to get usable chunks of text -- users have to learn to communicate ideas with the AI, making the process something akin to a machine-human collaboration.

DALL-E 2 Creates Incredible Images--and Biased Ones You Don't See
Marcelo Rinesi remembers what it was like to watch Jurassic Park for the first time in a theater. The dinosaurs looked so convincing that they felt like the real thing, a special effects breakthrough that permanently shifted people's perception of what's possible. After two weeks of testing DALL-E 2, the CTO of the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies thinks AI might be on the verge of its own Jurassic Park moment. Last month, OpenAI introduced the second-generation version of DALL-E, an AI model trained on 650 million images and text captions. It can take in text and spit out images, whether that's a "Dystopian Great Wave off Kanagawa as Godzilla eating Tokyo" or "Teddy bears working on new AI research on the moon in the 1980s."
AI art tool DALL-E 2 adds 'black' or 'female' to some image prompts
Artificial intelligence firm OpenAI seems to be covertly modifying requests to DALL-E 2, its advanced text-to-image AI, in an attempt to make it appear that the model is less racially and gender biased. Users have discovered that keywords such as "black" or "female" are being added to the prompts given to the AI, without their knowledge. It is well known that AIs can inherit human prejudices through training on biased data sets, often gathered by hoovering up data from the internet.

Those waiting for a chance to use DALL-E may soon get their turn. The powerful AI tool that generates images based on provided text will open in beta to one million users on the waitlist, OpenAI, the company that created DALL-E, announced today. Users enter a phrase or string of words into DALL-E, and the tool returns its own interpretation in the form of four images, ranging from whimsical to hyperreal. An updated DALL-E 2, launched in April, added the ability to edit existing images. As of last month, the tool was only available to a few thousand as other users waited to be granted access.
Commercial image-generating AI raises all sorts of thorny legal issues โ TechCrunch
This week, OpenAI granted users of its image-generating AI system, DALL-E 2, the right to use their generations for commercial projects, like illustrations for children's books and art for newsletters. DALL-E 2 "trained" on approximately 650 million image-text pairs scraped from the Internet, learning from that data set the relationships between images and the words used to describe them. But while OpenAI filtered out images for specific content (e.g. As the AI community creates open source implementations of DALL-E 2 and its predecessor, DALL-E, both free and paid services are launching atop models trained on less-carefully-filtered data sets.

DALLยทE Now Available in Beta
We'll invite 1 million people from our waitlist over the coming weeks. Users can create with DALLยทE using free credits that refill every month, and buy additional credits in 115-generation increments for $15. DALLยทE, the AI system that creates realistic images and art from a description in natural language, is now available in beta. Every DALLยทE user will receive 50 free credits during their first month of use and 15 free credits every subsequent month. Each credit can be used for one original DALLยทE prompt generation -- returning four images -- or an edit or variation prompt, which returns three images.
OpenAI is ready to sell DALL-E to its first million customers
A DALL-E beta subscription won't break the bank: $15 buys you 115 credits, and one credit lets you submit a text prompt to the AI, which returns four images at a time. On top of this, users get 50 free credits in their first month and 15 free credits a month after that. Still, with users typically generating dozens of images at a time and keeping only the best, power users could soon burn through that quota. In the lead-up to this launch, OpenAI has been working with early adopters to troubleshoot the tool. The first wave of users has produced a steady stream of surreal and striking images: mash-ups of cute animals, pictures that imitate the style of real photographers with eerie accuracy, mood boards for restaurants and sneaker designs.
The Download: urgent climate change questions, and DALL-E's big launch
Blistering heat waves have smashed temperature records around the globe this summer, scorching crops, knocking out power, fueling wildfires, buckling roads and runways, and killing hundreds in Europe alone. The sudden shift from an abstract threat to reality has many people wondering: is climate change unfolding faster than scientists had expected? Are these extreme events more extreme than studies had predicted they would be, given the levels of greenhouse gases now in the atmosphere? As it happens, those are two distinct questions, with different and nuanced answers. Our senior climate change editor James Temple explains the issues point-by-point in this explainer.
Scientist makes AI write academic paper about itself
With minimal external inputs, OpenAI's GPT-3 text generating algorithm has authored an academic paper about itself, resulting in a study that is being peer-reviewed. When swedish researcher Almira Osmanovic Thunstrom commanded the text generator to write an academic thesis in 500 words about GPT-3, she "stood in awe" as the AI algorithm wrote a paper within two hours, complete with appropriate citations and contexts in places, she said in Scientific American. "As it started to generate text, I stood in awe. Here was novel content written in academic language, with well-grounded references cited in the right places and in relation to the right context," Dr Thunstrom noted.
