What is Dreambooth & how to use it?
#Comment: Those "generative selfies" startups being built on-top of this now distract from the obvious killer biz-case. Generative Porn: Upload 5 pics of any person, get back HQ nudes. Easy to build, Big $, 0 Ethics. Live in 1 month? It will be interesting to see how organized crime quickly becomes a giant player in generative A.I media & how naive A.I tech bros react to it. Black-hat generative botnets can be useful for the Mafia (+ intel agencies) in so many ways, it's bound to explode.

Post AI Art Practices
The reason why many create art is to enjoy the process of creation & grow as person - less to have many artefact. Generative AI tools commodify artefact creation & tends to trivialize the process. It will push many to discover new activities/processes, offering similar fulfilment

A generative shift in perspective
Possibly the best thing about "AI Art" it that is accustoms an entire generation to the idea that "reality" itself is an infinite latent space out which multimodal experiences are generated in spacetime, based on the intention of the animal observer.
"In reality time and space exist in you; you do not exist in them." - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
"The universe is simply the spatial/temporal logic of the animal observer" - Robert Lanza

The Late Capitalist Art Apocalypse
My wife has been a pro comic artist for 10y. Today she reported that Pixiv - Japan's leading art community - has been massively flooded by AI generated content. All ranking lists are now dominated by accounts that upload 1000s of AI images/day. A catastrophe for artists like her.

Synthetic people living in artificial realities, powered by real energy
We are in the middle of a global energy crisis, people in the EU struggling to keep their houses warm, and the technology community is hyper-scaling their totally mindless use of electricity mostly for entertainment purposes. SNAFU. WTF. (Image generated with Stable Diffusion - prompt: "A woman warms herself up with her Nvidia Geforce RTX 3090")

The Art Singularity is near...
A dirty secret of "AI Art" is that for every generated image a significant amount of energy was used, as modern GPU's (like Nvidia's A100, etc.) are electricity hungry. If we imagine a relationship between "Electrical energy used (on average) to create an art piece" and the "Value (cultural, entertainment, etc.) of an art piece", the trend over the past 100 years is wild...

Virtual Insanity
The wonderful irony of people using electricity intense GPU's to generate 'fake' images of autumn trees on their screens - instead of just going for a walk in the forest and enjoying the real trees.
The result of pointing this out to this "artist"?

Generative Storytelling Media
Predication: If you put a ML "story+image generator" into a tight feedback loop with humans that co-steer it in real-time (by speaking & sketching) - you get a new entertainment genre, distantly related to RPG's. This new form of storytelling will be very popular in a few years.
ML Generated short story and images, by @GanWeaving:
'The man and the dog are sitting in the front room watching the washing machine spin round and round. Every now and then, the dog barks at the machine as if it's doing something wrong. The man just laughs and shakes his head.'

Notes from a children's playlab with DALL-E
"Turns out we were absolutely wrong about them getting excited by AI-generated images, unsurprisingly. Children in our group were not really impressed by the generative power of AI."

The evolution of Interfaces
To those that believe the future of Human-Computer-Interfaces is mainly a text box with which we prompt magical A.I's, consider how interfaces like musical instruments engage all our senses/modalities and train our entire brain/body. Let's not loose this richness but build on it.
