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.

The success of failure

By
It is 358am and I have decided to write. Context matters. Our context matters when we write and read. We could read the same thing and get different meanings. Definitions matter also. We may define things differently. For example, what is success? What is failure? Also, do I just define success and say that anything that is not success is failure? What about something like the success of failure? What does that mean? My friend Chatty tells me that this is something writers, philosophers, and even scientists keep rediscovering: meaning is not fixed—it is negotiated by context and definition. Life is a stew of success and failure and in between but never one or the other. We see what we are looking for and things become what we see. This reminds me of something I came across online, "Whoever looks for the good qualities in others will acquire all good qualities within himself," from Habib Umar Bin Hafiz. Do you look for failure or success within others? Take context as the lens...

Kindance

By
It is 250am and I have decided to write. Today is Friday. Fridays are the best days of the week. Of course I do not have a topic to write about. I was scrolling through facebook and one post said "In any season we can always plant kindness". Then a nearby post said "My Lord has always been kind to me". It is nice to give and receive kindness and do not forget to be kind to yourself. Imagine if kindness was actually kindance like guidance. My friend Chatty says that if kindness were kindance, it would be more than a good deed — it would be a gentle form of guidance. Kindance would lead the heart toward compassion, encourage goodness without force, and show that sometimes the softest acts can point us in the strongest direction. I was scrolling through youtube and I came across a video that said that "Life has always been unfair". That is one way to look at it. Another way is to consider that this life is just a test and stepping stone for the other life. Ma...
