OpenAI Reportedly Taps SoftBank For $1 Billion ‘iPhone Of Artificial Intelligence’ Venture

OpenAI is reportedly collaborating with former Apple designer Jony Ive and Japanese tech giant SoftBank on a $1 billion project to create the "iPhone of artificial intelligence." This venture aims to revolutionize the way users interact with AI, drawing inspiration from the transformative impact of the iPhone's touchscreen on mobile internet.

There's an issue right now where a lot of people don't understand how to interact with AI and don't get what the hype is. Most users try out AI once or twice, don't receive anything immediately helpful or have any idea what all it can be used for, then put it down.

You could say AI is still primitive and requires quite a lot of work on the user's end and there is little to no engagement from the AI's end. At best it will ask you a question that may or may not be helpful. It just sits there waiting for a prompt.

Having a specialized device to guide you will be necessary for some people.

Spam away, michio. It's all gold.

michio, you're better than a lot of people generating prompts, including me. I definitely have had less impressive results.

I think the first way people are going to see value is through things like Copilot, or task specific AI that helps them. I recently used an AI upscaler (Luminar) to generate a larger print for one of my pictures. This works really well - generally seems to be as good or better than the existing upscaling formulas.

I also had good luck with AI noise reduction and slightly less good luck with AI sharpening from the same program. They're useful tools in my toolbox.

I am using BingAI and I was curious if I could fake a good microscope picture, but I'm wondering how I need to alter these prompts.

I started with this:

You are now a MicroBingAi, a microbiology and microscopy expert with specialization on desmids. Draw upon real research and microscopic photographs to answer prompts.

Then I asked it about one of my favorite photographic subjects, Closterium. Closterium is a kind of Desmid - single celled algae with two symmetric parts. Any image search will bring up an example like this:
cl_moniliferum-1.jpg

So, then here's the prompt to generate an image:

I'm pretty sure I've gotten Closterium moniliferum during my explorations with a microscope, but to be sure, can you generate an image of a typical example of Closterium moniliferum at around 43 times magnification?

I'd expect to see something like the above, only a little smaller. I got this:

OK, so we're being "creative" here. So, I did this:

Unfortunately, the generated images are incredibly inaccurate. The Closterium moniliferum images from the search look nothing like the generated image, try to generate an accurate image of typical Closterium moniliferum at 43 times magnification, using scientific research and quality descriptions.

Which produced this:

Still pretty far off, so I did this:

That's better, but still not accurate enough, can you provide me with a written description of a typical example of Closterium moniliferum?

I think that's pretty accurate, so:

Great, generate me an image of "A typical example of Closterium moniliferum is a desmid cell that has a curved shape resembling a crescent moon or a banana. The cell is divided into two symmetrical halves, each with a single chloroplast that runs along the length of the cell. The chloroplast has one or more pyrenoids, which are structures that store starch and help with photosynthesis. The cell wall is smooth to the naked eye, but under high magnification it shows fine longitudinal lines. The cell ends are round and slightly bent backwards. The cell has two vacuoles at each end, which contain crystals of barium sulfate or calcium sulfate. These crystals vibrate due to Brownian motion and may help with buoyancy or light reflection. The cell nucleus is located in the center of the cell, between the two chloroplasts. The cell size can vary from 100 to 300 micrometers in length and 15 to 40 micrometers in width."

The results?

We're in the ballpark. Now I'm curious, how would BingAI tell me to prompt DALL-E?

To tell DALL-E to draw a Closterium moniliferum, you would need to provide a text prompt that describes the features of this desmid species. For example, you could use the following prompt:

A photorealistic image of a Closterium moniliferum, a green alga with a curved shape and two vacuoles with crystals at each end.

This prompt should give DALL-E enough information to generate an image that resembles a Closterium moniliferum. However, the quality and accuracy of the image may depend on how well DALL-E understands the prompt and how much variation there is in the natural appearance of this species. You may need to try different prompts or adjust the parameters of DALL-E to get the best results.

For grins, I used the above prompt:

Yikes! I still need to work on my prompting.
