Those videos of the astronaut looking at you and slowly moving toward you are fucking terrifying when you remember an AI created the whole thing

I watched it, I don't find it even remotely terrifying? It's a composition of a bunch of input from real photos?

I agree -- astronaut not terrifying. However, the hand on that teddy bear... :shiver:

I would not describe what Dall.E does as a comp of real photos, so I assume that's also not what is happening here.

It would be like saying an original piece of artwork from a human artist is just a comp of a bunch of input images they've seen. Technically true, but not usually how the word "composition" is used.

More like the re creation of images from the millions of learned patterns.

Risky click there :)

All of the examples look pretty bad to me for a "finished product" - maybe it's because the Stable Diffusion revolution has taken off so fast.

Looks messy, uncanny and low res.

Is there anything adjacent to Stable Diffusion in the works for video?

Dall-e 1 felt surprisingly similar just a few years ago. It's the first iteration and it will get better before we even know it.
