One prediction, on the record

“My proposed operationalization of this is that on June 1, 2025... we'll give [the best image generating model] the following prompts: 1. A stained glass picture of a woman in a library with a raven on her shoulder with a key in its mouth; 2. An oil painting of a man in a factory looking at a cat wearing a top hat; 3. A digital art picture of a child riding a llama with a bell on its tail through a desert; 4. A 3D render of an astronaut in space holding a fox wearing lipstick; 5. Pixel art of a farmer in a cathedral holding a red basketball. We generate 10 images for each prompt, just like DALL-E2 does. If at least one of the ten images has the scene correct in every particular on 3/5 prompts, I win, otherwise you do.”
