8 years of cost reduction in 5 weeks: how Stanford's Alpaca model changes everything, including the economics of OpenAI and GPT 4. The breakthrough, using self-instruct, has big implications for Apple's secret large language model, Baidu's ErnieBot, Amazon's attempts and even governmental efforts, like the newly announced BritGPT.

I will go through how Stanford put the model together, why it costs so little, and demonstrate in action versus Chatgpt and GPT 4. And what are the implications of short-circuiting human annotation like this? With analysis of a tweet by Eliezer Yudkowsky, I delve into the workings of the model and the questions it rises.

I tried Google's Bard yesterday. Maybe I just asked the wrong questions but it felt way, way behind ChatGPT.

AI certainly has the potential to outperform humans in the long run, but in reality, that time is still far away. At this point in time, AI appears to accomplish many wondrous things, but it is actually humans who are responsible for creating and discovering. Without human input or operation, AI would lack ideas. I have been playing and writing music for 35 years now
And have been working with gpt-3 now 4 to help me with my computer music program and It makes so many terrible mistakes
I have to chase it constantly. But I still use it for some of the bulk programming and rechecking.

When creating music, if you input your ideas, AI merely amplifies them. There are indeed numerous AI solutions that augment your music, sometimes making one wonder about its necessity. However, there is still an eternity of creativity left in music because a song's uniqueness does not stem solely from its notes but also from the spaces of time between them. This is what makes music truly unique and grants it the ability to sound distinct.

Among all the challenges AI has attempted to conquer, music remains one of the most difficult. Frankly, AI's ability to play and create music is not up to par. AI-generated music is not the same as a human composing a piece based on a repeating algorithm. In my honest opinion, you are unlikely to encounter truly great AI composers in your lifetime. If that day ever comes, numerous unknown grandmaster composers would likely emerge to challenge the computer if we ever felt threatened by these fascinating new tools. So, for now, make use of these handy tools – there is still plenty of time left before they pose any real threat.

After seeing this video I'll never use an graphic designer again for logos or nothing.

I think that without the help of an AI we can't go much further – to the next level. Music is practically stagnant, it's just more of the same. The voice clone is practically here. There are programs that separate the instruments/tracks from each other very well. For those who are already musicians, making a midi arrangement and sending it to AI to make it sound good, will be easier than relying on text prompts. Vst's and plugins will become obsolete soon. I think they've reached their peak. There are so many options that it ends up creating confusion and hindering productivity. AI will make things simple and better. I saw a video where a guy hums a melody, and gives the command to transform the sound into the timbre of a guitar. There is an online program, from Adobe, that you can send your badly recorded voice, in an untreated environment, and it improves the quality a lot. I was watching the black mirror series, where they put a little device on the head and a virtual reality is created, even with physical sense. I was wondering if this could create any sound you imagine and, with the help of an AI, shape the sound and all the things involving production. The only thing a person had to do would idealize the music, hearing and then judging, whether a correction is necessary or not -edit. The artist will take on the role of an audio director. The food of artificial intelligence is information. The more samples/input this one has, the more powerful it will be. There are already millions of songs out there to feed the intelligence.

anyone who thinks music is stagnant isn’t listening to the right stuff. there’s no shortage of amazing music being put out regularly. not likely to find it by listening to the radio though.
I write good music for good people

Hi am a graphic designer and I use Midjourney, now on a almost daily basis, for my work. It is incredibly powerful, especially on the illustration and photography side. Not that good - for now - in designing logos and totally useless for layout. Before Midjourney i used to rely on stock photos services, paid or free, to get the visual material it took too much time and effort (and I should have charged on my customer's fee) that is ancillary to the work that was required of me: for example, an advertisement for a magazine or a web banner. Now I use AI for achieving these results (and more, and better). As i do so, many of my collegues are jumping on the AI train and in max 2 years everyone will be there or will have closed up store.

Will I get rich using AI in my work? No. Will I become poor if I don't use AI in my work? Heck yes

My last three song's cover art have been made with heavy use of AI, some photoshop by me (AI is incredibly powerful but makes incredibly silly mistakes), and some lettering and finishing (faux Vinyl weathering, color correction, etc.). By just yesteryear standards these cover are amazing; by 2024 every monkey in the zoo will have AI made cover art.

Will they be all good? No, and that's becasue there is a guy, designer, prompt artist, AI art director that has better taste, deeper knoweledge and more experience than another. And while in almost 20 years of career as a GD I have learned that bad design is not always the fault of the designer, but often the client without taste, I am sure that the person with taste, style and experience will still make a difference.

The problem will be what we have seen with instagram: if everyone can take decent photos thanks to filters, anyone can make decent covers thanks to AI. But the level of minimal decency has only moved from "it almost sucks" to "without instagram filters or AI it's not even worth posting." This is the baseline. Artists and the public who have taste look above this line, toward the stars.

The tragedy is that those are and always will be the tiny minority in the world of rappers, food bloggers, alt-rock singers, video sluts, all mediocre carbon copies of each other.

Yes, but I'm referring to the next level. Something like the invention of electricity was for music. Without which there would be no electric guitar, the rock genre, nor disc recordings, television, cinema etc...


It will be possible to put Ozzy's voice on an Elvis record and vice versa. Making old-fashioned instrumentation on Elvis records sound modern. Making those poorly recorded Misfits albums sound like Metallica. The music will be completely manipulable.

My first thoughts are about how it can be used as a tool rather than whether it could replace human composers.

We're already at a point where there's far more good music available than any individual could ever consume. Adding AI-generated content won't change that.

It's all about the artist brands.

We want to know what Dave and Michelle made, not an AI.

Expect Spotify and Tidal to be flooded with AI-generated instrumental content.

As music creators, you could use AI to more easily construct content that would have been far too costly. It could widen the reach of individual composers.

But there's no telling how long it will take for AI to develop a strong enough sense of melody and harmony to be useful for composition or jamming without the use of "expert systems" to keep the AI in check.

For now, I think the sort of randomization you see in the bassline generator and other RS REs will suffice.

Levi’s will test AI-generated clothing models to ‘increase diversity’

{Instead of, you know, hiring real humans}


Levi’s will begin testing AI-generated clothing models later this year in a bid to diversify the iconic denim company’s online shopping experience. The planned experiment was revealed last week alongside Levi’s partnership with Lalaland.ai, a digital fashion studio that creates realistic AI-generated fashion models.

Currently, most products advertised on the Levi’s app or website can only be viewed on a single clothing model. The AI clothing models created by this partnership could be more body-inclusive, allowing customers to view what an article of clothing would look like on a multitude of models spanning a wide range of body types, ages, sizes, and skin tones. In theory, that should help consumers who are frustrated when clothing items aren’t modeled on a body that resembles their own.

I think the idea here is that this allows them to show one item of clothing for hundreds of body variations where it would just be too costly to do with real people.

I understand. It is to increase the diversity of income for Levi's. You scan the faces and skin colors of 'diversity' and use their features, while pretending to care for 'diversity'. They're (not just Levi's) already 'taking care' of their natural ressources across the world. Why not also owning the 'diversity', but digitally this time. Brillant.

It's just pragmatic.

When shopping online, unless you have this problem, for some it's very difficult to know what will fit them well as some clothes are designed to suit a particular model or the average body shape.

People buying clothes online who have this difficulty are going to be much more cautious.

So sure, it's not altruistic or aiming to save the world. It's just being pragmatic.

Online shopping for clothes kinda sucks. I don't buy stuff online for this reason as I need to try it on to know it fits me well.

They should have used the word 'pragmatic' instead of 'diversity', while pretending to make the world a better place.

Yes online shoping is bad :puf_smile:

Well, nobody in their right mind would develop a marketing campaign that said, "we're doing XYZ to increase the likelihood you give us more money from impulse purchases that probably increases your debt, reduce your likelihood of owning a home, and raises your blood pressure through buyer's remorse."

Though I'd love to see someone with the gutsy to try it
