If Google has something similar or better it definitely makes it look like OpenAI is wasting its time. None of this relates to AGI.

- SleekEagle 4y agoI don't think anyone is saying that humanity is close to AGI, but check out DeepMind's Gato work for a more well-rounded agent: https://www.deepmind.com/publications/a-generalist-agent https://www.deepmind.com/publications/a-generalist-agent
- visarga 4y agoI think we're past a certain threshold, maybe not AGI but some definite qualitative change is happening.
- SleekEagle 4y agoI mean DALL-E 2 was the first time my jaw really hit the floor, although in fairness GPT-3 probably should've done that, but it's easier to do with images. And then for this to drop just a month later? Insane. It makes you wonder if they're actually releasing cutting edge, or Google decided to write this paper just because of the publication of DALL-E 2. Maybe they've had this model in the bag for a year.
- alphabetting 4y agoGoogle also released this different text to image model yesterday https://parti.research.google/ https://parti.research.google/ I think they've just got a lot of projects going on under the hood and timing was coincidence.
- SleekEagle 4y agoLooks cool although not as good as Imagen. Autoregressive vs Diffusion i guess
- astrange 4y agoIt seems you can do a lot by making a really big model, but it'd be more impressive to do a lot with a small model, or build one that can explain itself and its "inspirations" in the training data. WebGPT can do the last one, and seems more useful than GPT3, but also like less of a magic trick so it might not impress people as much.
- Veedrac 4y agoLots of people are saying that. I am saying that. OpenAI has it as a foundational mid-term goal.
