The only thing that's new is the interactive interface the rest of it is old tech... You can use it on art breeder.com. Photoshop even has it in their face neural filter. GANs are not feasible for a variety of reasons you need to have models specific to your subject ie. why they change to a elephant model to manipulate the elephant.they are also not style agnostic but it's a great demo and the right time to release it. Just before the summit of the hype curve I bet one VC is dumb enough to throw millions at them.

With ChatGPT, the only thing new was the chat interface. In fact even Sam Altman mentioned this on Lex Fridman's podcast, IIRC - he said what he was most surprised about was the outsized effect the interface had on bringing LLM to the forefront of public consciousness, despite the existing maturity of the underlying GPT models. At least in that case it was OpenAI adding interactivity to its own existing models. But similarly, from a more holistic viewpoint, OpenAI productized existing research from Google. Transformer models were "old tech" since Google published "Attention is all you need" in 2017... and yet, when OpenAI managed to turn it into a usable product, suddenly they became the first movers and the company to beat. So I'm not convinced that only a "dumb" investor would fund an effort with a proven ability to productize "old tech."

  The I don't understand the technology but will ramble about stuff until they just give up reading the comment approach ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Are you referring to my comment? I'm certainly no expert on AI, and if I'm misunderstanding the technology I'd like to know. What is wrong about what I wrote?

      Yes, I am referring to your comment and I am not going to explain why everyone and their mother jumped ship from GANs and went all in on transformers. Well, there is still the Alan Turing Institute in the UK but even they gave up and are into NFTs now :D

This reads a lot like 'dropbox is trivial, rsync already exists'
