I disagree. All a program needs to do is use noise to generate something new and never seen before.

- dtagames 4y agoI should have said something novel and useful. Every scoop of dirt from the ground is novel, but that doesn't mean that shovels invented anything.
- PartiallyTyped 4y agoAny randomly generated image from say Dall-E-2 uses some noise as input, and one can argue that they are indeed useful.
- dtagames 4y agoDALL-E is interesting, but it also helps prove my point. Asking for a picture of a man in jail, for example, produces an image of a black man in jail. That's because the images are not new; they are composites of existing images, provided by people -- along with the biases of those people. "New" methods of face scanning also identify black people as criminals more often because they are not new; they are based on human input and bias.
