My guess is that we'll see more of both. | n0us wrote: | Checkout "INFINITE ODYSSEY MAGAZINE" which is only AI-generated | art. I'll use the term "art" here because there must be some | human skill involved. Personally I'm not able to get results as | good as theirs when I use these tools. There are some really cool | image series they've put out. | | https://www.infiniteodyssey.net/ | bawolff wrote: | I feel like we're in the early days of photography.

And | photography is largely dying thanks to the smartphone. I like | your point that we're entering a new age we don't quite | understand yet, but some things will probably be lost as | well. | krapp wrote: | > I'll use the term "art" here because there must be some human | skill involved. | | I mean, there's human skill in creating the prompts but AI | alone is capable of this level of quality. You can follow any | AI art tag on Instagram and see for yourself. | mistrial9 wrote: | no human can play drums like this drum machine! </s> | eikenberry wrote: | The skill is in designing, building and training up the AI. | The prompter is providing such a tiny amount of input that it | is hard to say they did much anything at all in comparison. | jointpdf wrote: | The skill is in creating the training data in the first | place. | | Training a model is hardly a skill. It's more like playing | Tamagotchi--check on it once in a while to make sure it | hasn't died, and guess at ways to make it happier in the | future. | p1esk wrote: | I agree with your first statement, and disagree with the | second one. Training a model is 1/3 craft, 1/3 science, | and 1/3 art. There are not very many people in the world | capable of training GPT-4 level models or beating state | of the art in image generation. | fwungy wrote: | Tang is fake, but it still tastes good. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2023-02-21 23:00 UTC)
