Very impressive.

I have to say while I'm deeply impressed by these text to image models, there's a part of me that's also wary of their impact. Just look at the comments beneath the average Facebook post.

Would you consider writing a blog post about this experience? I'm incredibly interested in learning more details about how this unfolded.

I think the comment is a joke. Their bio is satirical at least :)

I'm pretty sure the comment wasn't a joke? I saw the stream last week, it was very impressive use of AI, I didn't realize it was AI until he started talking about doubling crypto.

What about the bio is satirical? I'm pretty sure that's sincere too.

Their bio mentions their actual job and one project that is verifiably real. I think that the elements that seem satirical are real projects they're working on.

I didn't edit my bio. My projects are not satire. I'm just less ashamed than most, so I work on more "exciting" projects. I've worked extensively with generative AI, including video, myself. It was just that convincing to me in the moment. My regret knows no bounds. Luckily I earn enough this doesn't devastate me, but I really could have done some good with that money.

Yikes. In that case, please accept my apology. Your bio disappeared for a while off your page, but it's back as it was now.
