OK so @OpenAI 's new #ChatGPT can basically just generate #AIart prompts. I asked a one-line question, and typed the answers verbatim straight into MidJourney and boom. Times are getting weird...🤯

Dreamt that ‘VidGPT’ could do next-frame-of-video prediction when prompted with a short starter clip. But when you uploaded live video of the present moment at a slow enough frame rate, you could use it to see the future, and then everyone went insane. 🔮

Wow, this is a super-powerful #AIart hack from @mrjonfinger : once you've generated a character image with #MidJourney (or anywhere else for that matter), simply link to that image in your future prompts to get (roughly!) the SAME CHARACTER. #AIcinema here we come... 🍿

Part of me does question how valuable a super-abundance of AI-driven content will REALLY be, even if it's really 'good.' If there's one thing the world does not feel short of at present, it's 'content.' In fact, a lot of the time it feels like there's already Too Much!

The GPT playground didn’t go viral, chatGPT did. The UX is what allowed the masses to understand the power of AI. Goes to show that even when the underlying technology is the same, the best AI products will be the ones that are overly-focused on the user experience.
