Blitzscaling Creativity with DALL-E

While we are highly uncertain which commercial and non-commercial use cases might get traction and be safely supportable in the longer-term, plausible use cases of powerful image generation and modification technologies like DALL·E 2 include education (e.g. illustrating and explaining concepts in pedagogical contexts), art/creativity (e.g. as a bra...

It’s scary to think about machines replacing human creative output. But I tend to take the glass-half-full lens when it comes to innovation; I’m a perpetual technology optimist. Tools like DALL-E and Midjourney and Stable Diffusion will greatly amplify human creativity.

I’m interested in this little piece of design history because today I think history is on the brink of repeating itself. Now that we have DALL·E 2 (and other AI image generators), a huge portion of visual vibes will become democratized. What Unsplash did to photography, DALL·E 2 will do to illustrations, 3D renderings, and eventually all visual sty... See more
