Kinda like the creation of copilot and it's ilk for programmers, and gpt3 for writers. Ive seen some talk recently around 'prompt engineers'... Probably to some extent, every job will become prompt engineering in some way.

Eventually I suppose the AIs will also do the prompts.

At which point I hope we've all agreed to a star trek utopia, or it's gonna get real bad. Or maybe it'll get way better.

I think right now we could setup the AI's to do the prompts. You type in a vague description - "gorilla in a suit" and that is passed to GPT-3's API with instructions to provide a detailed and vivid description of the input in X style where X is one of several different styles. GPT-3 generates multiple prompts, the prompts passed to Stable Diffusion, the user gets back a grid of different images and styles. Selecting an image on the results grid prompts for variation, possibly of the prompt and the images.

Stable Diffusion already includes a GPT-type language model - that's what's understanding your text prompt.

Sure it's a similar architecture but c'mon, 307 million learnable params for ViT-L vs 175 billion for GPT-3...

Yeah, if we're gonna replace every fucking profession with a half-assed good-enough AI version, what're we even here for? We're sure not all gonna survive in a capitalist society where you have to create some kind of "value" to earn enough money to pay for your roof and your food and your power.

IIRC there is some vague "it sure got real bad" somewhere in the Trek timelines between "capitalism ended" and "post-scarcity utopia" and I sure am not looking forwards to living through those times. Well, I'm looking forwards to part of that, I'm looking forwards to the part where we murder a lot of landlords and rent-seekers and CEOs and distribute their wealth. That'll be good.

Next let's get rid of all the artists and replace them with AI. Redistribute their skills so we can all make art. Oh wait that just happened. You're a hypocrite that wants to redistribute the wealth of others, but not your own.

Also joking about murdering people is bad taste and not how you convey a point or win an argument. Very low class.

Recognising that doing the former without the latter demonstrably hurts people isn’t being hypocritical. Hence all the talk of post-scarcity. Post-scarcity for me not for thee is very much a sign of the times though.
