OpenAI introduces two new GPT-3 models: CLIP, which classifies images into categories from arbitrary text, and DALL·E, which can generate images from text

With GPT-3, OpenAI showed that a single deep-learning model could be trained to use language in a variety of ways simply by throwing it vast amounts of text.

    I've gently suggested that this sort of technology will make many of the current startup ideas I see being pitched completely obsolete. Follow this closely. https://twitter.com/...

    How long until twitter's little GIF widget actually generates the GIFs? I'm sick of no good results for “Exasperated and tired dachshund wearing red bowtie and pointing emphatically at text of 47 U.S.C. § 230.” https://twitter.com/...

    We on Google Photos spend a lot of time on the inverse of this, and I'll say, this is quite impressive. https://twitter.com/...

    CLIP — our new neural network for classifying images into categories based on arbitrary text. Works like GPT-3's semantic search, but for images: https://andrewmayneblog.wordpress.com/ ... Maybe a path towards vision nets that don't make silly mistakes: https://openai.com/... htt…

    “DALL·E is the kind of system that Riedl imagined submitting to the Lovelace 2.0 test, a thought experiment... for measuring artificial intelligence. It assumes that one mark of intelligence is the ability to blend concepts in creative ways.” https://twitter.com/...

    An NN takes a list of category names, and outputs (in a zero-shot manner) a visual classifier. It beats RN50 on ImageNet zero-shot, while being far more robust to unusual images: https://openai.com/... https://twitter.com/...

    They limited the possible inputs to this tool out of fear of what it could show you. Its generative capacity is limitless, infinite, obscene. You can ask it for anything Abby Shapiro's nudes. The true face of any anon. A picture of your future wife. The girl reading this. https:/…

    This is absolutely mind melting. Open AI can generate nearly unlimited images of a chair that looks like an avocado. https://www.technologyreview.com/ ...

    Wow - this AI can now generate unique images *entirely* from text prompts. Impressive, although somewhat disappointed the available prompts are so... vanilla. Also GG, illustrators https://twitter.com/...

    Researchers asked an AI model to draw “an avocado armchair.” The results show how we might make artificial intelligence smarter. https://www.technologyreview.com/ ...

    I was going to show a few more examples but honestly it's just worth 5 minutes of your time to go play around with different combinations: https://openai.com/...

    And, for fun, generated images of “an illustration of a baby shark in a wizard hat wielding a blue light saber”. (You can try other combinations here: https://openai.com/...) https://twitter.com/...

    Consider this your notice, if you're a manga artist: you have N years left before you're out of a job. I wish that I had any grasp whatsoever how to relate N to announcements like these. My initial sense is N=2, wisely adjusted upwards to “actually after the end of the world”. ht…

    I, for one, am looking forward to the copyright lawsuits over who holds the copyright for these images (in many cases the answer should be “no one, they're public domain"). https://twitter.com/...
