AI Art Is Eating The World, And We Need To Discuss Its Wonders And Dangers

After posting the following AI-generated images, I got private replies asking the same question: "Can you tell me how you made these?" So, here I will provide the background and "how to" of creating such AI portraits, but also describe the ethical considerations and the dangers we should address right now. Generative AI – as opposed to analytical artificial intelligence – can create novel content. It not only analyzes existing datasets but it generates whole new images, text, audio, videos, and code. As the ability to generate original images based on written text emerged, it became the hottest hype in tech. It all began with the release of DALL-E 2, an improved AI art program from OpenAI.
