Microsoft allegedly pitched DALL-E to the military.
The Intercept reports that Microsoft gave a presentation to the Department of Defense that explained how it could use OpenAI’s DALL-E 3 and ChatGPT last year. One such use could be for DALL-E to assist in envisioning the battlefield.
The reference to computer vision training suggests artificial images conjured by DALL-E could help Pentagon computers better “see” conditions on the battlefield, a particular boon for finding — and annihilating — targets.
OpenAI softened its stance on military use for its technology this year, so it’s interesting that Microsoft offered up its products to the DOD.
