S8E1 - The AI Artist “DALL-E”: Now Everything Is Unique

Vincent van Gogh spent decades perfecting his impressionist style. You can master it in one minute with the new AI art generator called DALL-E. Do we even need artists any more?

DALL-E 2 is an artificial intelligence image generator released to the public on Sept 28, 2022. Considered by experts to be a noticeable jump in technology, the website or app allows users to type in any imaginary prompt “a monkey eating grapes in Mexico in the style of Picasso” and in a few seconds generates a new unique image that tries to match the prompt.


Try DALL-E for yourself!

THE QUESTIONS

Adam & Chris imagine the implications and effects of AI generated art including questions like:

  • How does this work?
  • Could AI generated art replace the human artist?
  • Who are the people behind DALL-E art and what are their goals?
  • What does the future look like with AI generated art?
  • Is their a Christian viewpoint on AI generated art?
  • What happens in a world where everything can be unique?


LINKS & RESOURCES

  • OpenAI is the non-profit that created DALL-E 2. Their 2015 announcement outlined their goals.
  • OpenAI has a content policy for safety and blocks certain keywords from working that could create pornography or fakes of politicians. It also has worked to promote accurate diversity in results.
  • However other groups have announced plans to release similar AI tools without any filters
  • Chris mentions concepts from Roland Barthes’ “The Death of the Author”
