OpenAI is shining even brighter as they add to their incredible lineup of artificial intelligence with DALL-E 2

At OpenAI, one of the world’s most ambitious artificial intelligence labs, researchers are building technology that lets you create digital images simply by describing what you want to see.

When Alex Nichol an AI researcher typed “cats playing chess,” it put two fluffy kittens on either side of a checkered game board, 32 chess pieces lined up between them. When he summoned “a teddy bear playing trumpet underwater,” one image showed tiny air bubbles rising from the end of the bear’s trumpet toward the surface of the water.

If this technology is available to the general public, it could be revolutionary. The days of expensive stock photos and expensive photoshoots could be behind us.

OpenAI has also introduced an editing feature that allows the user to replace an object or person in an image of any photo, even if it isn’t generated by DALL-E.

Some researchers think that if this technology gets advanced enough, it could be used for bad and spread misinformation on the internet but OpenAI has plans to prevent this from happening.

The Elon Musk funded AI company has made a variety of innovative and cool projects over the years including Jukebox, a neural network that generates music; Codex, which translates natural languages to code; and most importantly, GPT-3, which has been used to create articles, poetry, stories, news reports, and dialogue while using just a small amount of input text.

In 2019, OpenAI made a remarkable discovery while simulating a game of hide-and-seek.

The AI agents play a very simple version of the game, where the “seekers” get points whenever the “hiders” are in their field of view. The “hiders” get a little time at the start to set up a hiding place and get points when they’ve successfully hidden; both sides can move objects around the playing field (like blocks, walls, and ramps) for an advantage.

Over the course of hundreds and millions of simulations, it as looking like the hider was going to win but then, the seeker caught them by climbing over a ramp.

This just goes to show that as AI systems grow more powerful, we need to give careful consideration to how to ensure they do what we want.

I’m very excited about the future of OpenAI and its future research.
