Always loved this example, what do you think of ASCII art vs SVG?
Since it's not a formal encoding of geometric shapes, it's fundamentally different I guess, but it shares some challenges with the SVG tasks I guess? Correlating phrases/concepts with an encoded visual representation, but without using imagegen, that is.
Do you think that "image encoding" is less useful?
It's a thing I love to try with various models for fun, too.
Talking about illustration-like content, neither text-based ASCII art nor abusing it for rasterization.
The results have been interesting, too, but I guess it's less predictable than SVG.
- simonw 1y agoI've had disappointing results with ASCII art so far. Something I really like about SVG is that most models include comments, which give you an idea of what they were trying to do.
- moritzwarhier 1y agoYes, the comments part makes sense, you also included it in the talk (I read the transcript but forgot to mention it in my comment, sorry :) It makes sense, since it works adds associations between descriptions and individual shapes / paths etc., similar to other code.
