I’m concerned about the precedent DALL-E 2 is setting. Learning skills, whether it be drawing, painting, or otherwise, should not be a “problem” that needs to be solved with AI. The joy of creating is in the journey, not the destination. I can’t imagine any fulfillment from glueing together auto-generated content. It’s the art equivalent of a CRUD app.
If the joy is in the journey, no one can take it from you. Some people might want to get to the destination quicker and are not interested in the journey.
The consequences of this technology are going to be interesting though. The trend of people having to be absolutely the best and unique or GTFO seems to be unstoppable.
Most businesses want CRUD apps, and people don’t particularly like coding them. Technology where you can pump out a CRUD app with little to no effort would be a blessing, freeing people to work on more interesting problems.
