CNN's John Sutter has been experimenting with text to text tools. He says Lex, one of the most successful so far, can be a collaborative partner for writers. It gives them feedback on their writing and suggests ideas that they may not have thought of themselves before. The tool also predicts what AI will look like in 50 years' time.
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.
