Tech that allows you to generate images by typing in descriptions (self.Blind)
submitted by synthpopolis
Came across this video about some amazing emerging AI tech that generates an image based on a text description. From the sounds of it, it doesn’t matter how detailed or bizarre the description is, either. I can understand some of the concerns the arts community might have about technology like this, but I couldn’t help but imagine what an incredible tool this could be for blind and visually impaired creators like me. Really getting my YouTube channel or other media off the ground has always felt hindered by my inability to create or select visuals to use in my content. Something like this would be a dream come true. Check it out:

Is this D8082 or is this Google imagine? I think those are the two current multi model AI a text to image generators at the moment I first heard about this on ColdFusion‘s YouTube channel about a month ago and I was absolutely blown away this technology almost feels like magic at this point and I feel like even five years ago people would’ve called you and seeing if you said this was possible AI is going to be the best invention for humanity but also for the blind community imagine a future where you have the ability to wear smart glasses and there’s an AI that uses the footage from the camera to tell you exactly what’s happening in your surroundings, warn you about possible dangers, read everything you look at, or even better, in the case of entertainment, there are already tools like a novel AI which allows you to have infinite amounts of fun with generated text adventures and storyteller modes the industry is really fun to follow

I don’t remember the name of the tech. I suggest checking out the video. It is really fascinating! BTW I love ColdFusion! One of my favorite channels. I will have to check out his video on it as well

Wow how cool is that! I'm blind since birth, but I'm always coming up with descriptions of my own ideas of political cartoons like the ones in the funnies for what's been going on in current events and U.S. politics, especially since You Know wWho started his noise in 2015. Would be cool if I could just type them into an AI and it would create them. Guess that would give me an excuse to create an Instagram account lol. Wouldn't it be funny if a blind guy got a huge Instagram following for AI-generated cartoons? rofl. Not likely, but fun to think about.

Yeah, this does sound really neat for sure. I always wanted a picture but could never find a good one or don’t know how to take one, or never find time to ask or simply it would be kinda imbarrassing or inconvenient to ask.

I'm calling this a new POS-ABILITY.
