It's clearly an artist seething at grim realization that they are about to get irrevocably replaced.

Now this is where I have my little rant about 'art' Art represents two different things. That pretty picture in IKEA is 'art' the Mona Lisa is also 'art'. In one context it's a necessarily human endeavour, on the other, it's something to make you buy one box of corn flakes over another. I wish we had 2 different words for these things. Artist has a different ring than graphic designer. One deserves to be protected, and I don't think will go away anyway, the other may well be automated away, but will invoke the former to protect itself.

  We do have two terms: fine art and commercial art.

    That makes sense - I do often look at it and think "Eh, it's fine."

Painters were not (entirely) replaced by photographers. Pretty sure that even with Dall-E around, there will still be a market for pure human creation, or even hybrid one.

  But they're certainly giving up some ground. Corporate art is already more meaningless than DALLE. Can't imagine $BANK spending anything on artists if they can just type a few random words and get passable art

    Ok but this is already the case with stock photos for example which have become a commodity.

lolno, artists aren't getting replaced any time soon. try getting something with a transparent background from it or more than 2 layers of composition. it falls apart when you try to do anything with a complex prompt and you have to describe the prompt, let alone the fact pretty much everyone who buys art likes to finetune it which would be awful to do here

  The proper Dalle2 interface lets you finetune by masking out sections for regeneration. Cosmopolitan leaked how the process looks like: https://www.cosmopolitan.com/lifestyle/a40314356/dall-e-2-artificial-intelligence-cover/ https://www.cosmopolitan.com/lifestyle/a40314356/dall-e-2-ar... https://hmg-h-cdn.hearstapps.com/videos/creation-loop-1655787642.mp4 https://hmg-h-cdn.hearstapps.com/videos/creation-loop-165578...
