It’s been a very long time since gurus started telling us that artificial intelligence (AI) will change the world, but it didn’t.
Until, well, now.
I’ve been playing with DALL-E, an AI web site that creates incredible images based on your verbal prompt. The results have awed (and unsettled) me. Let’s see if they do the same for you. I’m going to share the prompts I created, and the resulting image (none of the “share” or “favorite” buttons will work, because these are image captures from my computer screen):
On the plus side, if you are like me and have a creative mind but not the art skills to accompany it, you can suddenly create almost anything you can imagine.
On the negative side, it’s going to get harder and harder to make a living as an illustrator or artist. I paid less than one dollar for each of these images.
Still, I can’t help but marvel at the fact that we can suddenly talk to a computer and have it understand us.
This is one of those moments in which I’m not entirely sure what to think. I’d very much appreciate hearing your thoughts… is this good or bad… and what might you do with this capability?
Awesome! Its like AI translating my thoughts into physical images.
That picture is a perfect example of how the world is changing.......and we should choose to love and embrace it!
