The negativity over Dall-e's failures to make perfect images reminds me of the Louis CK stand up about the guy pissed about in-flight wifi not working, basically you're angry about not having this amazing technology you didn't know existed until this very moment.

If I use state of the art laptop, but funs are noisy, does it really matter how many thousand of thousand of thousand of hours spent to develop it?

  Yeah, that's a terrible analogy. You might want to rethink that.

    I`m not sure that I agree or understand. All things around me is a result of hundreds (thousands) years of development/culture/science/manufacturing etc.

I frequently reference Louis CK bit. It is so frequently applicable. That said, I think it’s also a compliment to a tool when it does such a good job, that people criticise it for not doing a perfect job. The fact it’s actually doing the job at all is pretty wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the results.

  It depends a lot on what you think a good job actually looks like. This sort of prompt based regurgitation and remixing of data sets is super cool from a technical perspective and will maybe be useful one day but from someone mildly interested in this being an actual tool it needs to bridge that last 10%. That doesn't mean it has to be perfect at all. Which seems like a general summation of a lot of ML.

Negativity? The post is pretty optimistic and shows amazement of the general technology. Should people not talk about the failure modes and the places where it is subpar?

erm the article is not negative at all. It does a good job of explaining what works well and what does not.

People adapt to getting an upgrade in life almost immediately. If you walked down the street and someone handed you $80 and the next guy $100, you'd be mad that he got more even though you just got free $$. It takes 2 weeks to adapt to a loss though. Humans are strange.

  I'm trying to fix this aspect of myself. I was bowling in a tournament over the weekend that was way out of my league but I wanted the challenge. I was struggling all day and got kinda mad because I missed a really easy spare in my first good game of the day. Lucky for me the guy on the other team was so positive and a much better bowler than me and he asked "That's ok, would you have been happy if I told you at the start of the game you'd have 107 in the 5th?" and I realized hell yeah I'd be happy. Same applies here. Of course I should be happy with a free $80 even if I know everyone else is getting $100.

Any negativity or anger seems to be in the article for purely comedic effect.

I appreciated the discussion because most of the different posts I have read were about how amazing and life changing Dall-e was. This felt more like, "Wow, this is amazing, but it's not perfect."
