"A neural network that can transform a text phrase into an artwork is transforming our understanding of creative thinking," writes Josh Taylor, but it is raising a host of ethical issues. "The nature of the neural networks in the AI makes it difficult to prevent DALL-E from creating offensive imagery." All you can do is try to filter the input and filter the output, but these already allow a lot of scope for content that's over the edge. He also worries about "the potential for text-to-image AI to replace jobs in graphic design." There will be much more design, and a lot of creativity, he says. "But graphic designers might have less work themselves." See also: Dave Truss.
