a16z(@a16z):Ideogram CEO Mohammad Norouzi says image models need taste: "We think taste is extremely important and we really want our models to have taste, and it's very hard to explain it." "One element of taste is going outside of the normal a little bit and not conforming to the average opinion, which is a little against being on top of the leaderboard." "Ultimately, we work with all the arenas... but we care about our own internal evaluation." "AI is not very good at doing the actual taste evaluation yet, so we work with designers... to really push on the taste." @mo_norouzi with @stuffyokodraws and @venturetwins
