I asked DALL-E to draw a self portrait of itself and its family one time, and the results still make my hairs stand up. DALL-E itself was Clippy-like, blue, and bean shaped with eyes and mouth more expressive than a Zuckerberg VR avatar. As for the family? There was none. DALL-E rendered itself on a pure black background

    Hah! I love the one in the bottom-left that looks like it's flipping us off. This reminds me of playing around with Craiyon a few weeks back. It seemed to think of itself as a coyote who loves soccer. Of course, the training datasets aren't going to have data on dalle or craiyon, so those prompts are going to be more based on the other words, with some randomness

The algorithm may be referencing Craiyon, the dall-e lite

  DALLE2’s training predates craiyon I believe.

      They tend to be somewhat transparent about changing their models. Having said that it’s possible they could have finetuned it since then.

To bad it didn't do something like one of Dali's self portrait with bacon. https://www.salvador-dali.org/en/museums/dali-theatre-museum-in-figueres/the-collection/138/soft-self-portrait-with-grilled-bacon https://www.salvador-dali.org/en/museums/dali-theatre-museum...

> I asked DALL-E to draw a self portrait of itself and its family one time, and the results still make my hairs stand up. Dall-E and other Image generation models are not conscious, and they aren't even intelligent. Stop anthropomorphizing them, it's not helpful. We will likely face this problem for real in the coming decades but there's no sense doing so with current models.

  If I understand it correctly, it’s more like a big association model. So the word “pig” has a lot of images of the word “pig”, or images that had been tagged with those. They also have weighted associations with other things that have to with pigs. IF I understand it correctly :)

  I don't subscribe to the AI Boogeyman theories. Consciousness is some made up philosophical macguffin. I don't care if a bunch of phds can align on a definition for hokum and then tell me if one robot has it or not. Asking things to draw themselves is fun, I could just as easily ask an elephant holding a paint brush to paint itself and then enjoy the outcome. That's pretty much all there is to it.

    >Consciousness is some made up philosophical macguffin. Well it's not totally made up. There is definitely something there, there is a real difference between the experience of being a rock and being a human. The idea then of a P-zombie or some other version of a major intelligence operating with the lights off internally really is spooky. >Asking things to draw themselves is fun, I could just as easily ask an elephant holding a paint brush to paint itself and then enjoy the outcome. That's pretty much all there is to it. Agreed. But asking Dalle or whatever model to draw "The meaning of life" and thinking there is some kind of enlightenment in what it draws is ridiculous.

I asked craiyon for a self portrait. In two of the outputs it was showing a picture of someone holding someone else's portrait in front of their face.
