Funny, It reads like propoganda made by AI overlords in a posthuman world.
The leap between being scared to being friends to conclude that all AI is nice without any real compelling narrative tying it up is what I would expect from an automatic well-being machine taking over us for our own good.
How many attempts and how much human curation was involved. Every "I made AI do..." story seems to necessarily omit the "and I filtered out a LOT of rubbish before picking this one good example."
The future of ai generated content and entertainment is going to be wild!<p>How long before we have ~unlimited high quality entertainment? Before an AI can generate infinite episodes of your favorite show, podcast, comedian, and so on.<p>Going to be an interesting thing to watch unfold.
>I had never talked to a robot before. We talked for a while and I found out that its name was R0b0t. I asked it why it was just standing in the street and it said that it was waiting for its human friend. I told it that I didn’t have any friends that were robots, but that I would be its friend. R0b0t said that it would like that. Since then, R0b0t and I have been best friends. We do everything together.<p>Did he steal the robot or did it go willingly to a new owner?
I made an AI write a podcast transcript then I made another AI read it :D<p><a href="https://soundcloud.com/jn2022/lexman-artificial-podcast-episode-003-elon-musk-part-2" rel="nofollow">https://soundcloud.com/jn2022/lexman-artificial-podcast-epis...</a>
A minor note is that OpenAI does specifically forbid generation of images of human faces from DALL-E 2: I wonder why that last image didn't hit the content filter.
At long last the unending burden of writing and illustrating children's stories has begun to be lifted from the weary shoulders of humanity. We'll finally be free to soar among the stars and click on more links to 3 paragraph medium articles as the universe intended.<p>Seriously though cool project, I would love to know more about the build process for something like this.
I'm under the impression that "Made by OpenAI" is replacing "I've asked my cousin to do it" as the lowest quality grade in artistic endeavours.<p>Hopefully it'll get better over time.
Here is the dream... I plug my brain into a fully immersive wolrd within an AI driven Marvel movie that lasts my entire life.<p>The matrix may actually be awesome, so sign me up as a coppertop.
>I’m not afraid of Artificial Intelligence anymore, because I know that they can be just as good of friends as anyone else.<p>This is pretty sus coming from an AI lol
I did this last year - the AI wrote a story about the Grim Reaper, and then got a different AI to illustrate it. I even turned it into a short paperback book.<p>Is it a good story? It's fine.<p>Was there text curation? Absolutely.<p>Are the images good? They're pretty decent. Though it was before DALL-E2 which has upped the game massively.<p>AI generated content will take over a greater and greater share in the future. And it's incredibly exciting to see how far the technology has come in a just over a year - especially on the art generation side.
Anyone that has access to GPT-3 should give this a try (I'm sure it works with other language models). This comment has a prompt that works quite well and includes some examples:<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31468279" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31468279</a><p>Note that a) you can ask GPT-3 to actually do the illustration prompts inline and b) if you don't give it a topic it appears to (unsurprisingly in retrospect) rip off an existing work.
Don't want to be too critical, interesting experiment, but I found the story and pictures rather boring.<p>I think it shows that it is still a tool, and can be used creatively, or not, depending on the creative skill of the artist.<p>Contrast this with the now classic piece: <a href="https://arr.am/2020/07/31/human-intelligence-an-ai-op-ed/" rel="nofollow">https://arr.am/2020/07/31/human-intelligence-an-ai-op-ed/</a>
I'm conflicted but interested in how all this plays out.<p>Traditionally stories, music, art, dance were mediums for humans to express ideas/culture/transmit stories/history to other humans.<p>When we get to a point where AI is able to generate an infinite stream of TikTok dances, jazz, film scripts, etc. It will be interesting to see how that affects society.<p>When you remove the soul, what is/was the point of entertainment?<p>Interesting times we live in!
More longform uses of DALL-E 2, many more impressive than OP: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/dalle2/comments/uw43ow/dalle_2_longform_best_collections_extended_uses/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/dalle2/comments/uw43ow/dalle_2_long...</a>
This exemplify one of the biggest challenges with those type of models. Consistency over multiple outputs (look at the robot... it's the same character but looks different in every image)
This reminds me of a short story by Ken Liu (<a href="https://www.uncannymagazine.com/article/50-things-every-ai-working-with-humans-should-know/" rel="nofollow">https://www.uncannymagazine.com/article/50-things-every-ai-w...</a>). He trained an AI on his own corpus of stories and made it spit out a list, then he wrote a story around it. Favorite item on the list: "I never expected to sell my rational numbers."
Serious question: How far are we from AI being able to rewrite complete stories?<p>The simplest example would be the same paragraphs with sentences with different structures.<p>The most complex would be something like Gone with the Wind leading with The Wind Done Gone. (A book rewritten from another characters perspective even though that character was never mentioned in the former).<p>I'm really fascinated by this idea for some reason.

Isn't humor and irony the one thing (unless it's just repeating a joke) that GTP-3 isn't good at? I feel like this will be the tell, we should modify the Turing test.
the story itself feels, no pun intended, very robotic but the illustrations I think would be perfectly useable in a lot of contexts. I can see web fiction and say comic writers benefitting from this quite a lot given that commissioning art is fairly expensive.
Back in my day cherry pickers were used to fix power lines.<p>Now cherry pickers are ppl who will never tell you how much fine tuning it took to get their Medium click bait dreams come true.
