Take a Look at How Far Image Generation A.I. Has Come in Just 5 Years
DALL-E can create images based on text descriptions alone
OneZero’s General Intelligence is a roundup of the most important artificial intelligence and facial recognition news of the week.
OpenAI is earning a reputation for building some of the A.I. industry’s most futuristic prototypes.
The Microsoft-backed research outfit is now led by Y Combinator founder Sam Altman. It’s best known for its powerful text generator, GPT-3, but in the last few years has also built a robotic hand that taught itself to solve a Rubik’s Cube, a team of superhuman esports algorithms, an algorithm that composes convincingly human music, and algorithms that can play games and use tools to learn complex strategies.
Last week, OpenAI released DALL-E, an A.I. system that can generate images based on written text. For example, in response to the prompt “a leather purse in the shape of an avocado. a leather purse imitating an avocado,” the system can generate dozens of iterations on the idea of a leather avocado purse.
