Generative AI services like Midjourney and OpenAI’s DALL-E can deliver the unimaginable when it comes to stunning artifacts produced from simple text prompts. Sketching complex art imagery may be AI’s specialty, yet some of the simplest tasks are evidently what AI struggles with the most.
This isn’t asking for nothing though. It’s asking for a very specific uniform thing. A better analogy to text generation would be asking for an uninterrupted string of nothing but repeated uppercase A’s.
That’s a really good way to break chatgpt BTW. Just ask it to repeat something over and over again it will create very interesting results.
The “asking for nothing” experiment is from later in the article, where they try with ChatGPT.
