@Hog yeah it’s about parallelization. These days the applications are mostly straight SQL and the distribution happens on the back end unless you want to add some tuning commands and depending on the platform you use.

From Anton’s video on the new Chinese AI super computer:
“It sort of highlights how absolutely ridiculous and how super-complex our brains are and how efficient they are at doing what they do the best. The human brain is the only such phenomenon on the entire planet that’s able to generate so many ridiculously complex ideas without using huge amounts of power. You can literally do all of this [gestures over his shoulder to image of massive Chinese computer] by just eating an apple.”

We’re playing with the various things and they are scary good.

I’m on the waiting list for the DALL·E 2
When AI starts doing industrial and service design, I might get a bit worried. Graphic design not so much.

I got into the beta for Midjourney the other day. It’s kinda wild what that thing can do.

Already rebranding your easy ass work to try to differentiate yourself from AI? Good move.

It’s only easy if you have talent. But no need for rebranding. Industrial design and service design are what I have mostly been doing. Graphic design has played quite a small part in my work history.

How did you learn industrial design in a pre-industrial country?

The same way you learned the word design in a country that sucks in design.

I have both dall-e and midjourney and IMHO dall-e is better. I guess it might depend on what for.

Railroads do service design against traffic models.

If I didn’t hang out here, I’d probably have no idea what Dall-E2 is about:
Life is so much richer for hanging out @ LOT

I feel that way about my forum. Test reply reply reply.

I’d like to see AI doing actual graphic design and creating layouts, typography, and different styles instead of illustration in which DALL·E 2 can be quite useful.

Well you just need to train it on whatever you want…
That doesn’t mean it’ll replace you but it can make your life way easier. In a sense it may make your job even more useful because in some cases you need more expertise to check what’s BS in a generated plan.
(I’m roughly extrapolating from the current AI powered code suggestion software. It will 90% of the time write what you are planning to, 8% write some BS, and 2% write something quite wrong but hard to identify as such.)

Art is a waste of time. Can you make AI convince millions of morons to buy Lithucoin so our worthless holdings would be worth billions and we could all retire and post more content here?

You could create all those bored apes in about 10 clicks…
I’m afraid that’s 2021 though, we need something new for 2022.
