Who says it ends here? We’ve made tremendous progress in a short time. 10 years ago it was absolutely unthinkable that we’d be at a stage right now where we can generate these amazing images from text on consumer hardware and that AI can write text in a way that could totally fool humans. Even as someone working in the field I was fairly sceptical 5-6 years ago that we’d get here this fast
Agree 100%.
We are at the start and the progress is incredibly fast and accelerating.
Even the way that image generation alone has improved within the last year I wouldn’t have believed.
10 years ago? More like 5 years ago
Yeah also indeed. Back then I was actually working with image generation and GANs and it was just starting to take off. A year later or something StyleGAN would absolutely blow my mind. Generating realistic 1024x1024 images while I was still bumbling about with a measly 64x64 pixels. But I didn’t foresee where this was going even then
Or remember when everyone was impressed with GauGAN in 2019/2020. We would’ve never guessed that just 2 or 3 years later we would have multiple competing available models.
Or when Dall-E mini had a hype last year and everyone was impressed with it?
Now there even are first experiments that make videos out of a prompt and they pretty much look exactly like the earlier iterations of diffusion models
