Hey, what's up dude? How's it going?

Hey, hey, what's up?

Have you been checking out the progress over this AI-generated art stuff?

I think it's gone off the rails since we last talked about using Dolly.

Yeah, I saw there was a Twitter war on this. There was a comment section.

I just read all of the angry comments and had a blast. What are people angry about? Is it artists?

You're like, this is the death of art. Yeah, I think it's like a mix of artists and people who

generally just don't like tech giants, et cetera. Hello, hello.

How goes a couple?

What's going on?

Nice to see you both again.

Nice to see you as well.

We're talking about AI-generated art.

Have you like seen Dolly 2 and stable diffusion and all this stuff?

I got yelled at back when I was working in Angel List because we were doing these like blog posts and I was like,

you know, it's so silly. Like we, we like pay $500 to like have someone like do like an illustration. And actually there's like this art that we can just use and we should just use this because

licensing and all the designers got really pissed. It's so funny because it's like as a computer

programmer I'm like, oh hell yeah, this is amazing. You know, I've had some experience as a designer, but I'm not an artist at heart. So the idea that somebody can type a prompt into a computer and generate an image from scratch doesn't really threaten me. It's just really exciting to me, to be honest. But apparently there was some art competition. I don't know if you guys read about this.

But somewhere in the U.S., this town was doing an art competition,

and this guy used an AI to generate this very cool painting

of these women dressed in Victoria-era clothing,

but they're on like a spaceship in this cool sci-fi setting.
