Episode notes

Calvin: I think the speed at this point makes me think no human could do it. Or as he said, the attention to detail. All right, let's move on to a couple other tools that we've played around with. So both of us have played around with two avatar creation tools, avatar AI dot me and profile picture dot AI. The way both of them worked is you paid something like $30 and then you uploaded 20 photos of yourself,. You didn't really know exactly what to upload. Within a couple of hours, you were given like 100 photos of you in different settings.

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.
