Doshi: Image Generative AI Is Stuck in a 'GPT-2 Moment'
“So I think that we continue to feel like graphics and these foundation models for anything really related to pixels, but also definitely images continues to be very under invested. It feels a little like graphics is in like this GPT two moment, right? Like eve…”

Doshi: Image generation will ultimately converge on unified models
“I think we will make an unified model. I think it will, I think we'll certainly in the end ultimately make a unified model.”

Suhail Doshi: Midjourney is currently the best image generation model
“We, you know, we have, everyone has to acknowledge that Midjourney is very good. You know, they're, they are the best at this thing. We would, I would happily, I'm happy to admit that.”

Doshi: High-utility generative graphics tools will ultimately be B2B products
“I think ultimately if you believe that you could make it very high utility, the, probably the next customers will end up being B to B. It'll probably not be like consumer. Like there are, there will certainly be a variation of this idea that's in consumer. If …”

Suhail Doshi: AI builders should benchmark against market leaders, not outdated baselines
“I think it's incumbent on us to try to compare ourselves to the thing that's best, even if we lose. Even if we're not the best. Right. And you know, at some point, if we are able to surpass my journey, then we, you know, we only have ourselves to compare ourse…”

Doshi: Fréchet Inception Distance Is a Bad Metric for Image Models
“Fit is generally a bad metric. You know, it's good up to a point, and then it kind of like is irrelevant.”
