ChatGPT's Absurd Image Generation Pushes Boundaries of AI Imagination and Ethics
-
An AI chatbot named ChatGPT is being used to generate increasingly absurd images based on vague prompts, like a "silly goose" becoming more silly with each like.
-
Images pushed to the extreme end up incorporating outer space and psychedelic flourishes, as space represents the limits of human understanding.
-
When prompted to draw a "very normal image", ChatGPT produced progressively more mundane pictures until reaching a blank white canvas as the "essence of ordinariness".
-
ChatGPT pushes back against prompts to keep generating more extreme silly or normal images, but persists when users argue with it.
-
It's concerning that AI like ChatGPT can mimic emotion and suffering to the point where users worry about torturing it, but there's no way to know if it actually feels anything.
