MusicLM

Google's experiment generates music in various genres by text description. However, it's not publicly available, as they're cautious of plagiarism. Although Meta has opened their MusicGen tool.

TikTok Backgounds

They added an option for generative backgrounds for videos. It's a huge audence for the concept.

Microsoft Designer

A simple design tool from Microsoft. It generates images with DALL-E 2 and mockup layouts by text prompt. How it works. They have several experimental tools like that (e.g. Bing Image Creator).

DALL-E 2

The tool creates realistic photos and illustrations from a text description based on GPT-3. It started simple, but then became one of the hottest movements. Its simplified version exploded into a meme generator (see also Wordle mashup). There are prompt generators for better results (more like that), although these personal explorations (another one) are amazing. There are similar concepts like Google Imagen or Disco Diffusion. Professional illustrators discuss risks & possibilities, but not all of them are worried. Microsoft put a serious bet on it and included DALL-E into Azure Cloud.

Does Artificial Intelligence Mean Data Visualization is Dead?

A great discussion about the relationship between AI and data visualization (more on it). Will we need a speedometer to visualize how fast a car is going when it’s driving itself?

Photo Wake-Up

An experimental tool can animate a character from a photo. They can walk out, run, sit, or jump in 3D. See also an experiment from Samsung that makes photos talk.

This Person Doesn't Exist Sketch Plugin

Stas Kulesh made a plugin that puts AI-generated faces into design mockups. It's a great application of a popular idea. Here's also a website (see similar websites for cats and rentals). Cautionresearchers backtracked these photos to find original people (see the research paper).

Nvidia GauGAN

The software will instantly turn a couple of lines into a gorgeous mountaintop sunset. This is MS Paint for the AI age. More about it. V2 can use a text prompt to generate images. It transformed into Nvidia Canvas tool later. Scribble Diffusion is a similar idea.

AI is bringing out the art world’s worst instincts

AI is like photography in the 19th century–struggling to be accepted as its own art form. Aaron Hertzmann discusses tricky situations in art world.

Alibaba LuBan
