  > Just like several years ago you'd say "there's a big difference between these trippy deep-dream images and an actual meaningful illustration with a style and a coherent theme". But here we are. Exactly, at the very least, that will massively disrupt the fields of illustration and concept art.

  >style and coherent theme Can I play with it then, to verify that myself? Or can I just view cherry-picked examples where it works sort of well? That's one of the major flaws of nn approaches, since you don't have an understanding of what's going on, just an uninterpretable set of billions of numbers, you can't know what are the failure modes and the limitations of your algorithm.

    Lots of people have written big posts at this point about this topic. DALL-E2 let's you guide the image generation with text prompts, and mask part of the image and regenerate the masked parts. This allows collaboration between the use and the algorithm to iteratively converge on what the user wants. There's also been lots of exploration to find text prompt recipes that produce interesting and more consistent results. In the end, it's a tool! Tools are used by humans to do something that matters to the human user. Humans adapt to the tools they use to maximize the tool's utility. Understanding that is fundamental for thinking about where ML will take us. It's not magic, it's tools.
