DALL·E: Creating Images from Text
I really do think AI is going to replace millions of workers very quickly, but just not in the order that we used to think of. We will replace jobs that require creativity and talent before we will replace most manual factor workers, as hardware is significantly more difficult to scale up and invent than software.<p>At this point I have replaced a significant amount of creative workers with AI for personal usage, for example:<p>- I use desktop backgrounds generated by VAEs (VD-VAE)<p>- I use avatars generated by GANs (StyleGAN, BigGAN)<p>- I use and have fun with written content generated by transformers (GPT3)<p>- I listen to and enjoy music and audio generated by autoencoders (Jukebox, Magenta project, many others)<p>- I don't purchase stock images or commission artists for many previous things I would have when a GAN exists that already makes the class of image I want<p>All of this has happened in that last year or so for me, and I expect that within a few more years this will be the case for vastly more people and in a growing number of domains.
