WHO KNEW? AI'S CHATGPT'S SIBLING, DALL-E 2, IS AN ARTIST
The line between science fiction and science fact has been crossed. It would be easy to confuse DALL-E 2 ("DE2") with Wall-E, the fictional robot AI in the movie released by Pixar. Interestingly, the fictional film was set in 2805, yet here we are in 2023 with an AI that would make the fictional inventors of 2805 envious.
Let us jump in, for those who do not know, what is the difference between ChatGPT and DE2 AI? Simply, ChatGPT is a text generator AI, and DE2 is an image generator AI. They both are natural processing and imagining generation AI created by OpenAI in association with Microsoft.
DE2 - what's all the hype about?
DE2 is a groundbreaking new AI system developed by OpenAI, capable of creating realistic images and art from natural language descriptions.
The AI uses the popular GPT-3 model as its underlying architecture, allowing it to draw on a massive set of data to generate stunning visuals from simple phrases. For instance, by entering something like "A red chair with a blue car in the background", DE2 can produce a vivid image that accurately captures the scene described.
The implications of this type of AI are far-reaching. It has already been used to create realistic artwork and video game assets, but its potential applications extend further than that. In the near future, DE2 could be used to create animations or even 3D environments from natural language descriptions alone. Beyond creative applications, it could also have practical implications in fields such as medicine and architecture, where detailed 3D models are needed quickly and efficiently.
In addition to its impressive creative capabilities, this AI system also offers an unprecedented level of scalability. With its ability to generate images based on the NL input, DE2 can effectively automate image generation tasks in areas such as computer vision and medical imaging without any manual labor required - drastically reducing costs in those sectors. This could open up new possibilities for medical imaging technologies such as CT scans and MRIs that wouldn't have been possible before the advent of this revolutionary new AI technology.
What exactly are AI-generated images from text?
By using natural language processing (NLP) and deep learning algorithms, computers can generate vivid portrayals based on a text description.
This process is called Text to Image Synthesis (TIS) and has become increasingly popular among content creators due to its time-saving capabilities and higher semantic richness in comparison to traditional image creation methods.
In order to generate such pictures, AI models are fed with a set of words or phrases which represent the desired image. This input is then combined with existing databases of objects and trained with various neural networks until it can produce an image that resembles what was described. The resulting image quality can vary depending on the source material used, as well as the training of the model itself, but often times they will be almost indistinguishable from human-made artworks.
Text to Image Synthesis can be applied in many different fields including product design, advertising, medical imaging, and even video game development. It enables artists to generate visuals from scratch in a matter of seconds rather than hours or days, making it incredibly convenient for tight schedules. What's more, TIS can be used for more complex tasks such as generating 3D models or photorealistic likenesses based on descriptions given by users. This allows designers to produce stunning visuals that evoke powerful emotions within their viewers, making them more attractive than ever before.
