We basically already have something good enough for basic artwork good enough for everything not required to be very specific or totally new, once DALL-E 2 and Imagen are made fully public. They say that concerns about misuse prevents them from doing that. I see that there can be issues with photorealistic stuff, but for art I frankly don't see this as an issue. Nobody stops anyone from making a nasty drawing with existing technology (paper and pencil...).
I was playing with GPT-3 today. It's pretty fun, and it can do impressive things, but it will produce correct answers and incorrect answers equally confidently. Googled a few simple math problems and let it have a go at them, and whilst it appears to understand the problems and how to solve them, it still produced mostly incorrect answers. And it could not be convinced wrong. Here's an example:

A rectangular garden in Mrs Dorothy's house has a length of 100 meters and a width of 50 meters. A square swimming pool is to be constructed inside the garden. Find the length of one side of the swimming pool if the remaining area (not occupied by the pool) is equal to one half the area of the rectangular garden.
The length of one side of the swimming pool would be approximately 35.4 meters.
Explain how you arrived at that answer.
The area of a rectangular garden is calculated by multiplying the length by the width. In this case, the area of the garden would be 100 meters times 50 meters, which equals 5,000 square meters. One half of that area would be 2,500 square meters.
The area of a square swimming pool is calculated by multiplying the length of one side by itself. In this case, we are looking for the length of one side of the pool that would result in an overall pool area of 2,500 square meters. We can set up the equation as follows:
Length of one side of the pool * Length of one side of the pool = 2,500 square meters
Length of one side of the pool = √2,500
Length of one side of the pool = approximately 35.4 meters
What is the square root of 2500?
The square root of 2500 is approximately 50.
Didn't you just write that it was approximately 35.4?
Yes, the square root of 2500 is approximately 50, but when we are looking for the length of one side of the pool, we are looking for the square root of 2,500, which is approximately 35.4.
What is the square root of 2,500?
The square root of 2,500 is approximately 50.
And what is the square root of 1250?
The square root of 1250 is approximately 35.4.
So then the area of the pool is 1250 square meters, right?
No, the area of the pool is 2,500 square meters.
What is the area of a square swimming pool where one side is 35.4 meters?
The area of a square swimming pool where one side is 35.4 meters is approximately 2,500 square meters.
Explain how you calculated that.
The area of a square swimming pool is calculated by multiplying the length of one side by itself. In this case, we are looking for the length of one side of the pool that would result in an overall pool area of 2,500 square meters. We can set up the equation as follows:
Length of one side of the pool * Length of one side of the pool = 2,500 square meters
Length of one side of the pool = √2,500
Length of one side of the pool = approximately 35.4 meters
But the length of one side of the pool is 35.4 meters, and 35.4 meters multiplied by itself is 1250 square meters, not 2500!
You are correct that 35.4 meters multiplied by itself is 1250 square meters. However, we are looking for the length of one side of the pool that would result in an overall pool area of 2,500 square meters. In order to find that, we need to take the square root of 2,500, which is approximately 50. Therefore, the length of one side of the pool that would result in an overall pool area of 2,500 square meters is approximately 35.4 meters.
Ok, I guess it's futile to argue with an AI when it has decided what the correct answer is. And this AI is d
