"Text-to-image generators like DALL-E and Midjourney utilize the same underlying LLM technology as chatbots, but the public release of these programs last year — controversial as they were for other reasons — did not spark the same kinds of zealous speculation about a mind in the machine. Humans don’t have a history of using “image generation” or even “visual art” as a heuristic for intelligence. Only fluency of language has that distinction." 👌 https://mastodon.social/@Zestryon/110844829583162030
