Are AI-Generated Memes Actually Funny Or Are Our Brains Broken?

#artificialintelligence

Another prominent option is DALL-E 2, also created by OpenAI and currently in a very limited beta, which does the same thing with images. Type "a velociraptor in Speedos sun-baking on the sands of Majorca" into DALL-E 2 and it'll do its best to draw on its pattern recognition ability and enormous corpus of data to make that for you. It doesn't know what a velociraptor looks like, or where Majorca is. But, by tapping into the internet's deep subconscious through billions and billions of parameters, it has a vast library of the visual and language patterns usually associated with those words.


I Just Tried DALL-E 2, the AI that Creates Art

#artificialintelligence

The feature image for this post is a piece of art I dreamed up, but I didn't create it. I suppose you could say I commissioned it, in a matter of speaking, but the artist is an AI, and the only instructions I gave it were, "An octopus wearing a Captain America costume." You might notice right away that it's not exactly the costume of the first Avenger but rather an octopus who appears to be the captain of a ship and also has red, white and blue body paint. This was one of six paintings the AI called DALL-E 2 created for me. DALL-E 2 is the brainchild (or perhaps BRAINIAC?) of OpenAI, which describes it as such: DALL-E 2 currently has some limitations.


Maybe AI Isn't as Scary as We Thought

#artificialintelligence

One of the longstanding worries about the technologies of artificial intelligence is that they will enable surveillance, autocracy and maybe even totalitarianism. These views no longer seem so convincing. The world's autocratic states are not exactly turning these technologies to their advantage, and meanwhile artificial intelligence is taking some individualistic turns. Consider the program called DALL-E, which allows the user to generate digital sketches and images, derived from natural language instructions, using the power of artificial intelligence. The quality and diversity of the images is truly impressive.

Research: bias creeps into new AI generated art

#artificialintelligence

A seagull attacking a man with spaghetti, a skateboarding dinosaur, and a cup of coffee that contains the universe. These are just some of the odd prompts that people have given to new AI systems, for an often unusual, yet incredibly detailed image in return. Whilst majority of the AI art you are likely seeing on social media comes from Open-A-I's, DALL E mini, other notable artists are Open-A-I's DALL-E 2, and Google Research's Imagen Google research shows the technology appears to involve "several social biases and stereotypes". But experts fear these systems are also capable of producing disinformation based off the gender and cultural biases from the data they feed off. An OpenAI online document titled'Risks and Limitations', which shows these biases with an example of how a text description of a CEO, for instance, only shows images of predominantly white men. Technology has "an overall bias towards generating images of people with lighter skin tones and a tendency for images portraying different professions to align with Western gender stereotypes."

DALL-E mini is the AI bringing to life all of the goofy "what if" questions you never asked: What if Voldemort was a member of Green Day? What if there was a McDonald's in Mordor? What if scientists sent a Roomba to the bottom of the Mariana Trench?


AI could end the stock image industry as we know it

#artificialintelligence

Since the early 2000s, companies like Shutterstock and Getty Images have ruled the stock image industry. All was well until AI came along. Now, OpenAI's DALL·E 2 and Google's Imagen can create realistic images and art from a description in natural language. Could AI challenge the very existence of microstock agencies? Will they be forced to change their business model altogether?


A survey of multimodal deep generative models

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Multimodal learning is a framework for building models that make predictions based on different types of modalities. Important challenges in multimodal learning are the inference of shared representations from arbitrary modalities and cross-modal generation via these representations; however, achieving this requires taking the heterogeneous nature of multimodal data into account. In recent years, deep generative models, i.e., generative models in which distributions are parameterized by deep neural networks, have attracted much attention, especially variational autoencoders, which are suitable for accomplishing the above challenges because they can consider heterogeneity and infer good representations of data. Therefore, various multimodal generative models based on variational autoencoders, called multimodal deep generative models, have been proposed in recent years. In this paper, we provide a categorized survey of studies on multimodal deep generative models.


Top Features of DALL·E 3

#artificialintelligence

DALL·E 3 is an impersonation AI art machine. It is a tool for generating images, videos, and digital 4D collages in 8K resolution. It's a transformation engine that can improve to varying degrees any kind of pictures, videos, and texts in digital form through the process of machine learning. DALL-E 2 is controlled by a 3.5-billion-parameter model trained on thousands of pairs of photos and descriptions from the internet. This method lets the model connect visual concepts and texts describing them.
