The AI that creates any picture you want, explained. Vox made this explainer video about text-to-image generative AI models back in June, months before Stable Diffusion was released and shortly before the DALL-E preview started rolling out to a wider audience. It’s a really good video—in particular the animation that explains at a high level how diffusion models work, which starts about 5m30s in. # 10th October 2022, 3:28 am
Is the AI spell-casting metaphor harmful or helpful?
For a few weeks now I’ve been promoting spell-casting as a metaphor for prompt design against generative AI systems such as GPT-3 and Stable Diffusion.
[... 988 words]Getting tabular data from unstructured text with GPT-3: an ongoing experiment (via) Roberto Rocha shows how to use a carefully designed prompt (with plenty of examples) to get GPT-3 to convert unstructured textual data into a structured table. # 5th October 2022, 3:03 am
The Illustrated Stable Diffusion (via) Jay Alammar provides a detailed, clearly explained description of how the Stable Diffusion image generation model actually works under the hood.. # 5th October 2022, 2:58 am
All these generative models point to the same big thing that’s about to alter culture; everyone’s going to be able to generate their own custom and subjective aesthetic realities across text, video, music (and all three) in increasingly delightful, coherent, and lengthy ways. This form of fractal reality is a double-edged sword – everyone gets to create and live in their own fantasies that can be made arbitrarily specific, and that also means everyone loses a further grip on any sense of a shared reality. Society is moving from having a centralized sense of itself to instead highly individualized choose-your-own adventure islands, all facilitated by AI. The implications of this are vast and unknowable. Get ready.
