A Philosophical and Artistic Perspective on DALL·E2

Thanks to Prof. Yaron Senderowicz and Liav Isaac Shopen for their willingness to be interviewed for this blog post. <h2>Intro and Motivation</h2> DALL·E2 has been out for a while, and I thought it could be interesting to write a blog post about it from a philosophical and artistic standpoint. As a data scientist and hobbyist printmaker, I was intrigued to learn how this method is viewed and used for artistic reasons. While engineers are frequently focused on making things work, it is worth shedding more light on other aspects such as artistic, aesthetic, and social considerations, which often receive less attention. The main motivation behind this exploration was to better understand and explore in what sense DALL·E2 is artistic and possesses human-like qualities. In other words, how should we interpret DALL·E2 output? Furthermore, there is a growing concern about the impact of DALL·E2 and its consequences for employment. The images it generates are so appealing that it can be difficult to tell if they were generated by a human or an algorithm. For example, we just witnessed an AI-generated photo that <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/apr/17/photographer-admits-prize-winning-image-was-ai-generated" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">won a photography prize</a>, emphasizing the importance of this issue. In this blog post, I had the honor of interviewing two intriguing people. The first interviewer is Prof. Yaron Senderowicz, a Tel Aviv University philosophy professor recognized for his studies on human consciousness. The second interviewer is Liav Isaac Shopen, a master printmaker, whose artistry and practical experience lend to a unique understanding of DALL·E2 and how to incorporate it into his artistic work. <a href="https://towardsdatascience.com/a-philosophical-and-artistic-perspective-on-dall-e2-b362df74a63c">Visit Now</a>
