Excerpt from the article in ArsTechnica 1-19-2023
"In 1923, an editorial cartoonist named H.T. Webster drew a humorous cartoon for the New York World newspaper depicting a fictional 2023 machine that would generate ideas and draw them as cartoons automatically."
"Interestingly, this separation of labor feels similar to our neural networks of today. In the actual 2023, the "idea dynamo" would likely be a large language model like GPT-3 (albeit imperfectly), and the "cartoon dynamo" is most similar to an image-synthesis model like Stable Diffusion."
It is interesting to note:
"at the start of the 1920s, only 35 percent of Americans had electricity at home. Electricity and the devices it powered represented a radical new way to get things done."
