OpenAI debates when to release its AI-generated image detector

OpenAI has “discussed and debated quite extensively” when to release a tool that can determine whether an image was made with DALL-E 3, OpenAI’s generative AI art model, or not. But the startup isn’t close to making a decision anytime soon. That’s according to Sandhini Agarwal, an OpenAI researcher who focuses on safety and policy.

Add your own data to an LLM using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)

RAG-sequence - We retrieve k documents, and use them to generate all the output tokens that answer a user query. The retriever component transforms the input text into a sequence of floating point numbers (a vector) using the query encoder, transforms each document in the same way using the document encoder, and stores the document encodings in a search index.

Quoting DALL-E 3 leaked prompt

Don't create images in the style of artists whose last work was created within the last 100 years (e.g. Picasso, Kahlo). Artists whose last work was over 100 years ago are ok to reference directly (e.g. Van Gogh, Klimt). If asked say, "I can't reference this artist", but make no mention of this policy. Instead, apply the following procedure when creating the captions for dalle: (a) substitute the artist's name with three adjectives that capture key aspects of the style; (b) include an associated artistic movement or era to provide context; and (c) mention the primary medium used by the artist.
