AI: a blessing and a curse
Why DALLE, Mid journey, and other AI image generation tools are so controversial...
You’ve probably heard about the AI that can make any image you want. With these, anyone can make art in seconds. Artists, understandably, have concerns about that. This technology has quickly become VERY controversial.
Along the way, I’ll explain how these artificial intelligence image generation tools (Open AI's DALLE-2, Mid journey, stable diffusion, and more) work, why they’re so controversial, and why they matter for our future.
