I tried DALL·E

By
I signed up to try out DALL·E as a tech blogger from Trinidad and Tobago some time ago and today I was accepted to try it. What is DALL·E? It is an AI app developed by Open AI that creates images from textual descriptions. According to their blog, they have trained a neural network called DALL·E that creates images from text captions for a wide range of concepts expressible in natural language.

For this blog post I am sharing some of my testing. I used 6 phrases and for each phrase I am sharing what I think is the best image. It takes about 5 seconds to generate 6 images after I submit my description. I am impressed by what this app can do and to me this is tangible proof of the power of AI but I think it can be greatly improved. It returns nonesense for something like "the year 2050" and fails to depict correctly something like "A blue sign that says 'we are open'" or just simply "5000". Share your thoughts with me in the comments below. The DALL·E name is a mashup between the movie robot named WALL-E and Dali the surrealist painter.

Bless us today

It is 515pm and I have decided to write. Today is the day before the holiday and it feels like a Friday. I did not feel like doing anything this afternoon. But I got up and made dinner. Then brush my teeth and bathe. A round of applause to all of us for being alive and making it through the day. There are many things we can applaud ourselves for. There are many things we can applaud others for. It is good to pat ourselves (and others) on the shoulders now and again. Life is not easy. No one has it easy. Comfort is an illusion. But God is real and so we pray. It is 214pm on the following Monday and I have decided to continue my writing. I have this thought. God is holding my hand and we are walking. Walking in empty space. I closed my eyes and selected a verse from the holy Quran. I landed on surah 94 verse 5 - so verily with hardship there is ease. No matter how and when we are tested we must remind ourselves of the goodness of God. God is not going to leave us stranded and empty hande...

How to measure success?

By
It is 509pm and I have decided to write. How to measure success? That is the question. It is very hard to measure success. I think only God has the true measure of success or failure. Someone may be a failure in this life but a success in the next life. We are told that God looks at intentions and effort. We can also determine our own definition of success. We do not have to let the world define success for us. We think of the world as not being a fair place so any one size fits all definitions of success or failure would be careless and wrong. Many times we think in terms of numbers. The grander the better. But what about quality over quantity? My friend tells me that I am essentially arguing for the democratization of success. I am taking the power away from society, institutions, and algorithms, and handing it back to the individual and God. That is true but I am essentially wanting to look at the bigger picture and to do that I am thinking that we have to answer some key questions ...
