Insight
Oliver Wang: Great art is often in-distribution relative to prior art
“I think that out of distribution sample, that is a little bit too restrictive. I think a lot of great art is actually in distribution for art that occurred before it.”

Insight
Wang: Generative AI can solve visual problems using 2D projections
“I think we can solve almost all the problems, if not all the problems, working on the projection of the three-D world directly, and letting the models learn the latent world representations.”

Oliver Wang: Multimodal AI will transform education through visual learning
“I'm in general, I'm very, Optimistic about AI for education, and part of the reason is I think that most of us are visual learners, right? So the AI right now as a tutor, basically all it can do is talk to you or give you text to read, and that's definitely no…”

Wang: Core value of edit models is extreme personalization
“The real beauty of the edit models is that you can make it about the one thing that matters most to you.”

Oliver Wang: AI image models must raise worst-case output quality
“Every model can cherry pick images that look perfect. So like now I think the real question is like how expressible is this model and what's the worst image you would get given what you're trying to do? So I think by raising the quality of the worst image We r…”

Wang: A single AI model will never satisfy all use cases
“I definitely don't think that, that the broad amount of use cases will be fully satisfied by one model at any point. So I think that there will always be a diversity of models. Some, like I'll give you an example, but some, you know, we could optimize for inst…”

Wang: Artists want AI models to infer intent, which models now do better
“Really what an artist wants when they want to do something is they want the intent to be understood. And I think that, that these AI models are getting better at understanding the intent of users. So often when you ask text queries now, the model gets what you…”

Oliver Wang: Editability is the main reason to leave pixel representations
“The primary reason I think you would want to leave the pixel domain is for editability.”

Insight
Oliver Wang: Human intent is the defining element of art
“Like to me, I think that the most important thing for art is intent. And so the, what is generated from these models is, is a tool to allow people to create art.”

Wang: AI models will solve complex multi-person scenes without dedicated pose interfaces
“Yeah, I think in that case, I wouldn't spend a ton of time building a custom interface for making this picture of 46 people. It seems like the kind of thing that we can solve.”

Oliver Wang: AI models struggle to generate childlike crayon drawings
“We've been trying to get the model to create like, childlike crayon drawings, which is actually quite challenging. Ironically, you know, sometimes the things that are hard to make are, because the level of abstraction is very large. So it's actually quite diff…”
