> Recent GPT/stable diffusion products universally blow people away with their output. I've yet to be blown away by either system. I guess I am just incredibly cynical but the output of ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion aren't all that impressive to me. A lot of Stable Diffusion art just looks like browsing random DeviantArt or ArtStation pages. ChatGPT reminds me of IRC Markov bots, it produces the same non-sensical crap that they would. Only when a prompt hews incredibly close to some training content does it seem to product cogent output. Both will get better and might become more impressive to me but right now that's not the case. My main issue is neither system actually understands what it is being asked. They're relying on the viewer's tendency for apophenia and pareidolia do make them think the system understood what it was asked. I think there's justification for heavy skepticism for the future of these systems because we're approaching the point where their incorrect/inaccurate output is going to end up feeding the next generation systems' training data.
