It’s terrifying that all of these models are one colab notebook away from unleashing unlimited, disastrous imagery on the internet. At least some companies are starting to realize this and are not releasing the source code. However they always manage to write a scientific paper and blog post detailing the exact process to create the model, so it will eventually be recreated by a third party.

Meanwhile, Nvidia sees no problem with yeeting stylegan and and models that allow real humans to be realistically turned into animated puppets in 3d space. The inevitable end result of these scientific achievements will be orders of magnitude worse than deepfakes.

Oh, or a panda wearing sunglasses, in the desert, digital art.

I am absolutely terrified of all this for a different reason: all human professions (not just art) will soon be replaced by “good enough” AI, creating a world flooded with auto-generated junk and billions of people trapped permanently in slums, because you can’t compete with free, and no one can earn a living any longer.

It’s an old fear for sure but it seems to be getting closer and closer every day, and yet most of the discussion around these things seems to be variations of “isn’t this cool?”

And then once you take the (probably trivial) step where the computers come up with the ideas for the images, these images won't be interesting anymore because we know a human didn't even make it. It won't be funny in the same way. "Oh that was clever" doesn't make sense anymore. We could reach a new level of jaded.

(Also, hello readers from the year 2032 when all of these predictions sound silly.)
