Frankly, not sure where to begin with this one. Some here have already pointed out how it can easily be trained to produce racist/biased data which is a big red flag to begin with. But am I the only one thinking about how this deep-learning, AI algorithm is going to render millions obsolete at the behest of capital? As has been the case with almost everything developed under capitalism , what a marvelous discovery that will in all likelihood be used for nothing but exploitation. And do I even have to mention how our leaders are geriatric and couldn’t regulate this shit to save their lives?
Unless this is somehow made open-source (and soon), we’re fucked.
From what I understand this thing is actually a lot buggier and more error-prone than copying answers from stackoverflow. People who've made things with it had to spend a lot of time validating and correcting it's output. The time it takes to make something non-trivial would be better spent without trying to use it.
It's useful in the sense that an AI that produces a picture of a girl with black eyes and a surprise second row of bottom teeth is useful.
It's worse because the second row of bottom teeth is obviously wrong, whereas this produces wrong output that seems correct, thus it needs to be verified independently.
