“I think a common natural evolution of just the creative stack or the creative software solutions out there, they tend to be very specific to domains of content. So you have a tool that's specialized on, like, Image editing. And then you have a tool that specializes on vector graphics, and you have a tool that specializes on motion graphics, which is different from video editing, which is different from, like, post-compositive, which, and you have all this, like, very sophisticated, like, software stacks. And I think that the very interesting aspect of what it would like to see and what we'll probably see more with multimodal systems is that you're able to merge all of those.”

Valenzuela: AI models on their own are not products
“Models on their own are not products, right? A model is, is, is a research component and taking a model and productionalizing that model, it's a different problem that actually building one single model, right?”
Valenzuela: Creative AI succeeds early because creative workflows tolerate 80% accuracy
“And in research, going from 80% to a hundred percent is really hard. I think that you'll be seeing that in, like, autonomous vehicles where, like, it's always, like, two years ahead and, like, always 80%, but, like, that 20, 10% is just really hard. This is re…”
Valenzuela: In decades, AI art will be seen as a natural, necessary transition
“What are we going to be asking ourselves in like, 1020 years, 30 years? I think it's the realization that we'll look back and we'll look at this moment as in like, yeah, I mean, it was a natural transition and we needed it. It allowed us to do so many things t…”
Valenzuela: It takes 12-24 months to understand new AI breakthroughs
“The moment something gets released, like, let's say transformers or a particular piece of technology that you think would be interesting or could be worth experimenting with, I think it takes a collective set of months, like, 12, 24 months sometimes to underst…”
