The good, the bad, the human: today I learned from a social post a new artificial intelligence model has been released just recently by OpenAI dubbed ChatGPT Images 2.0. This model is very good at creating images that are indistinguishable from a real photo, so essentially anyone can fake themselves in the most beautiful of settings, much like Instagram influencers do daily.
It got me thinking about what the future will look like online and how it could impact my work and companies, and I'm feeling i'm in a good position because I believe the outcome is that when everyone's images are perfect, it reduces the interest in them to almost 0 because everyone will know they are fake.
So the way I see it is when everything looks flawless, people stop caring about “good” or “bad” in the technical sense. They start caring about something else entirely: Is there a real human behind this?
The fact is I believe people will gravitate to people who show real human spirit, who have a documented history or who show themselves for who they truly are, and I feel I'm in that category, as my approach online has always been to build in public and ensure people see the real me.
Random Artwork:
This is just a 3D model of a Picture Frame (Tomato) that I’ve created and shared on Sketchfab. It’s not related to this post itself, I just like dropping in whatever’s on my desk to break up the text and keep the Dispatch feeling like a real studio log. Be sure to check out the model! https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/picture-frame-tomato-by-velivian-fesothe-219a4aa23f884775849be3c024390f55
I did this because I wanted to build trust with the people who use my content in their productions or those who invest their precious lifetime in learning about me or using something I have provided for others to learn from.
Trust is a hard thing to build, especially on the internet, but being open and remaining human in the things I do for myself and for others would go a long way in the age of AI.
Next Steps:
- Make more 3D models
- Write a lot about it
- Begin making shorts
