Large language models.
You must’ve heard these words before. They represent a specific type of machine learning-based algorithms that understand and can generate language, a field often called natural language processing or NLP.
You’ve certainly heard of the most known and powerful language model: GPT-3.
GPT-3 understands language and generates language in return. But be careful here; it doesn’t really understand it. In fact, it’s far from understanding. GPT-3 and other language-based models merely use what we call dictionaries of words to represent them as numbers, remember their positions in the sentence, and that’s it.

Here we dive into those powerful machine learning models and try to understand what they see instead of words, called word (or text) embeddings.
Built on Stable Diffusion, the new tool needs 10-25 pictures of yourself and uses your face to fine-tune the model and generate versions of yourself as an astronaut, an Egyptian pharaoh, a medieval knight, and other historical figures. This is the first commercialized tool by a larger company using Stable Diffusion if I am not mistaken!
