I'm wondering why the open source community doesn't get this. So many voices were raised against Codex. Now artists against Diffusion models. But the model itself is a distillation of everything we created, it can compactly encode it and recreate it in any shape and form we desire. That means everyone gets to benefit, all skills are available for everyone, all tailored to our needs.

Exactly this!

We no longer have to pay the 10,000 hours to specialize.

The opportunity cost to choose our skill sets is huge. In the future, we won't have to contend with that horrible choice anymore. Anyone will be able to paint, play the piano, act, code, and more.
