"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

100% yes but just because I really hate how everyone conflates AI with LLMs these days I have to say this: The LLM isn't generating the image, it's at most generating a prompt for an image generating AI (which you could also write yourself)
psa, you get more control this way: instead of asking an LLM to generate an image, you can just say "generate an image with this prompt: ..."
idiotic of course that that's necessary. it's the kind of thing openai does -- you'd think they'd provide "open" access to dall-e.
or just use a diffusion model locally.
