I think there's a huge amount of opportunity around people building just really clean UIs, almost like making it easier for people to interface with artificial intelligence models. I think we're actually in agreement on there's tons of these practical use cases, and they're actually not that far away. But at the same time, at least in my own experience and playing around with these tools, there's a lot of excitement but I haven't yet built them into my workflow.
For years, people thought that artificial intelligence would wipe out repetitive tasks, but leave the creatives untouched. But recent developments have left many people surprised and taken the creative world by storm.
Tools like DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion gave anyone with a keyboard and a wifi connection the ability to spin up images from text prompts, far earlier and higher quality than many imagined.
So what comes next for the artists... the writers... the musicians...? No one knows for sure, but in this episode Cal and Steph discuss the exciting new world of generative AI. They discuss what it is (and isn't), the tools they've played with, how culture and trust are shifting, who "wins" in this new world, and what they think might be on the horizon.
