Engineers Update Views on LLMs Versus Diffusion Models for Creative Work
Recent procedural art, video editing, and 3D game demos prompt engineers to favor LLM coding models.
TLDR
@trq212 noted that recent demos of procedural generation art, video editing, and 3D games shifted his assessment toward LLM coding models for creative tasks. He added that code offers easier editing, nudging, and export to existing tools. @omarsar0 observed that LLMs for code have unlocked general capabilities more powerfully than expected and predicted continued LLM improvement over diffusion models, which he expects to have their moment later.

elvis@omarsar0It has been a bit surprising, to say the least, how powerful LLMs for code have turned out to be in unlocking general capabilities. Diffusion models are going to have their moment soon, but I expect LLMs to continue to improve and transcend.…

EM Ethan Mollick@emollickAnd variance! The AI labs need to be thinking more about variance when considering creative tasks. The fact that it takes work to get creative variation out of smart models severely limits their effective value in problem solving and creative work.…

EV Evan 🛜@ubuto23Shut up nerd. When someone who has never shipped or trained a native generative vision architecture declares that text-based coding models are the true future of visual and spatial art, it’s not an objective technical forecast—it’s just the natural copium of a lab that has no…
GW Glen Wilson@GlenWilsonIA@trq212 All the reports of AI being contained by sandboxes has convinced me no one at Anthropic or OpenAI has the remotest clue what safety is, means, or requires around AI. You're ensuring people are harmed by your reckless disregard for basic safety.
DI divomni@ShadowMonkeyMan@trq212 Nice random unrelated posts prove you are being ignorant of your dictatorship and must be raking in millions - I'd prolly do the same as you, stay quiet until I've secured a Prince position in the Claudian Empire that takes over the world o-o
HN Henry Nguyen@henryhndev@emollick Totally agree. I hit the same wall shipping my app—same output over and over unless I babysit the prompt. Wish the models just surprised me more by default.
