I did that before, but I stopped, because I always go into excruciating detail and it takes a huge chunk out of my time. Just can't do the "two words summary" thing to save my life.
Plus, the idea of being able to watch a dream in a movie format is pretty amazing.

Yeah, some public trials would come in handy there. Show, don't tell, and all that.

I mean, Rome wasn't built in a day. Just the fact that it's possible to do speaks volume. As for seeking press coverage, it's understandable: could be them trying to secure more funding by getting more publicity, could be them being genuinely passionate about their tech, could be both. The time will tell.
Still, it's an interesting application for the image gen technology, it's never even crossed my mind to my surprise.

To each their own, I suppose. Having an option certainly wouldn't hurt.

That's actually amazing. Imagine an ability to record the dreams THAT YOU ALWAYS FORGET ABOUT AFTER WAKING UP, GODDAMMIT!

Reply to comment by slash_asdf in From Narrow AI to Self-Improving AI: Are We Getting Closer to AGI? by RushingRobotics_com
Well, I can be very persuasive when I need to. Plus, you shouldn't assume that it's thought process would operate within the same boundaries the average human mind has. I bet most of the times, as long as it's something non-detrimental and can be done with a flick of a metaphorical wrist, it'll go full "I gotchu, homie" mode.
But, well, if a regular AI will be able to do the fun stuff to the same capacity a hypothetical AGI can, then I wouldn't mind to settle for either, really.

I can see plenty of applications for AGI and it's been my lifelong dream ever since I found out about this concept. I hope I'll manage to survive until the time it becomes available for general public.

I dunno man, when I was still on AID it never gave me porn unless I specifically prompted for it, so my "practice" was a little bit different.

For a second I thought this title was generated by AI.

I cannot even argue with those words, because it's an absolute truth. This technology can be used even by complete amateurs like me. Which I constantly do, by the way. As a consumer, I am very excited, because even if AI image generation is not fully refined, with a sheer force of will, perseverance and a bit of luck - you can pretty much achieve your desirable result. No, really, I actually am excited, I can't stress this enough: haven't felt like this since I've been a child.
Still, I do feel bad for the artists, somewhat. After all, because of this technology, unless they adapt somehow, they'll fall into obscurity and become nothing more than a stepping stone in its development and refinement. However, if I were to choose between my own tool that I can use however I like or borrowing a cruder version of it along with the skills of its owner, with produced results that, at the same time, might wildly deviate from my expectations - I'll go with the former, no doubt.

Reply to Microsoft Suggests OpenAI and GPT-4 are early signs of AGI. by Malachiian
Pretty sure it's not so much as AGI, but just a component for it.
