> BTW do some people attribute consciousness to Midjourney like some do to GPT? Anecdotal, and obviously harder to prove the absence of something than to prove its presence—but from what I've seen, not at all. I've read many good write-ups about Midjourney/Stable Diffusion's use of "latent space"[0] to generate images and general glimpses into the backend of what's going on, even at a simplified level. LLMs, on the other hand, rarely seem to get the same treatment (for a variety of reasons, I'd assume) and tends to get treated as more like a magic black box that may or may not be conscious/intelligent/accurate/etc. Even though it's essentially doing the same thing as its visual counterparts in terms of data and predictive mapping.
