This blog misses the point; he made a bet, and the people on the other side also accepted the terms. Nowhere did Alexander claim composition was a solved problem, just that the terms of the bet were satisfied. Generative models are still bad at composition, but claiming they will literally never improve requires some amount of additional evidence
- Viliam1234 4y agoExactly. The bet wasn't that AI will do composition correctly all the time, but that it will do composition correctly sometimes. That is how both sides understood it. The analogy with a student at exam misses the point. If you do art -- even as a human artist -- you do not need a 100% success rate. A 10% success rate is okay if you are willing to simply throw away the remaining 90% of the pictures. If you have an AI that at a click of a button can generate 10 beautiful pictures, 1 of them containing exactly what you wanted, that just means you need to make two clicks in order to get the picture you wanted. That is an awesome thing.
