In the world of generative AI, babies can do a lot of jobs and hobbies that most of us only dream of; dolphin training, Formula 1 driver, FBI Agent, Dancing With the Stars contestant, and more. Let's take a look!

AI Outtakes, Vol. 20

Babies. Is there anything they can't do? We had a lot of fun last week welcoming in Baby New Year, so let's stick with the baby theme this week, too. In the real world these would all be dangerous, violate hundreds of OSHA laws, and probably win first place on America's Funniest Home videos for the next few years, but in Generative AI Land babies can do anything!

Let's jump right in with something extremely improbable:

There are lots of jobs that are funnier if done by a baby!

Okay, lots of fun with babies in professions! Let's see how far generative AI can stretch the bounds of reality.

One more classic prompt:

Okay we breezed through a lot of these, and they all turned out great except for the university professor one (maybe there are just no worthwhile photos of professors lecturing).

These photos are also all current. I wonder if we can do historical figures?

How many photos did they need to use in the training data to get results this good?

I think we can put 'babies' in the "things AI is good at generating" category. Most of these turned out great! Until next week!

Well done!
