Obviously, it's polluted. Undisputably. In a mathematical sense, an extra (black box) transformation is performed on the input to the model. In a practical sense (eg. if you're researching the model), this is like having dirty laboratory tools - all measurements are slightly off. The presumption by OpenAI is that the measurements are off in the correct way.
I'm interested in using Dall-E commercially, but I think some competitor offering sampling with raw input will have a better chance at my wallet.
- tptacek 4y agoIt's a fucking AI picture generator. The whole thing is a series of (literally) inscrutable black boxes. This is not a good argument.
- throwuxiytayq 4y agoYeah man, but literally the entire point of this AI picture generator is that it's, like, super accurate at rendering the prompt, and stuff. I don't understand the relevance of the black box's scrutability - I just want to play with the black box. I am interested in increasing my understanding of the black box, not of a trust-me-it's-great-our-intern-steve-made-it black box derivative.
- tptacek 4y agoYou should make your own black boxes then. By all means, send your dollars to whatever service passes your purity test; I'm just saying that the idea that DALL-E is "polluting" your input is risible. It's already polluting your data at, like, a subatomic level, at dimensionalities it hadn't even occurred to you to consider, and at enormous scale.
