Of all the AI models in the world, OpenAI\u2019s GPT-3<\/a> has most captured the public\u2019s imagination. It can spew poems, short stories, and songs with little prompting, and has been demonstrated to fool people<\/a> into thinking its outputs were written by a human. But its eloquence is more of a parlor trick, not to be confused with realintelligence.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, researchers believe that the techniques used to create GPT-3 could contain the secret to more advanced AI<\/a>. GPT-3 trained on an enormous amount of text data. What if the same methods were trained on both text and images?<\/p>\n

Now new research from the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence, AI2, has taken this idea to the next level. The researchers have developed a new text-and-image model, otherwise known as a visual-language model, that can generate images given a caption. The images look unsettling and freakish\u2014nothing like the hyperrealistic deepfakes generated by GANs <\/a>\u2014but they might demonstrate a promising new direction for achieving more generalizable intelligence, and perhaps smarter robots as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
