• There has always been an abstract discussion about whether AI should be used or whether we should use AI.
    • This often becomes the basis for arguments like “You should learn computer science.”
  • With the development of DALLE-2 and midjourney, the image of non-engineers “using AI” has become more concrete.
    • At the same time, it seems that the discourse of “don’t let AI use you, study computer science to use AI” is not as valid anymore, given the current ability to give instructions in natural language.

Examples of non-engineers “using AI”:

  • @mikakutakahashi: Searching for the most delicious food using Google Lens with the drawings from midjourney. It’s sparking new cooking ideas!

  • @8co28: Sharing the generated design description.

  • “fashion, shibuya, anime, game, characters reference sheet, high quality, ultra detailed, ”***”, full body, —ar 16:9”. Enter your preferred job in ***.

  • The first image is “samurai”, the second image is “reaper”, the third image is “assassin”, and the fourth image is “shinobi”.

  • @merao: I asked an AI to draw dungeon tiles for me. It responded to my requests and drew various variations, which made me excited. But then I realized that it had drawn hundreds of variations in no time, and it scared me a little…

  • @kazushinamiki: The AI-generated images of a “photogenic cafe in Tokyo” are incredibly stylish. If I just hand these over to an interior designer, I could open a cafe myself!
