Dall-E 2: What exactly is 'AI-generated art'? How does it work? Will it replace human visual artists?

Josh, I've been hearing a lot about'AI-generated art' and seeing a whole lot of truly insane-looking memes. What's going on, are the machines picking up paintbrushes now? What you're seeing are neural networks (algorithms that supposedly mimic how our neurons signal each other) trained to generate images from text. So, like, you plug'Kermit the Frog in Blade Runner' into a computer and it spits out pictures of … that? Sure, you can create all the Kermit images you want.
