DALL·E 2 and The Origin of Vibe Shifts
Highlights & Notes
when Unsplash (the free photography website) was founded in 2013 it killed the old vibe by democratizing access to great photography, and thereby ruining its function as a costly status signal.
Now that we have DALL·E 2 (and other AI image generators), a huge portion of visual vibes will become democratized. What Unsplash did to photography, DALL·E 2 will do to illustrations, 3D renderings, and eventually all visual styles.
The best and most reliable type of signal is known as a “costly” signal because it’s hard to fake.
The primary function of visual aesthetics in corporate design, in my view, is to send a costly signal to prospective partners that the company is fit to survive.
Cheap-looking design often signals a lack of resources and taste.
When a design uses a premium material like an illustration or an intricate 3D rendering, it is seen as an honest “costly signal” that the company behind it has lots of resources to spare. This, more than grid alignment or proper typographic hierarchy, is the thing that sends a tingle down your spine and makes you think “I should sign up.”
The weird thing is, what gives you goosebumps today might feel lame in 20 years. Just look at the “pre vibe shift” websites above—at the time I can promise you they made nerds like me drool. Today… not so much.
in order to maintain the same level of performance you’re used to getting, you have to keep improving. This is known as a Red Queen’s Race

At the high end, in the short run I think the most likely path is to run towards interactivity. There are currently no AIs that can make interactive visualizations.
I think the leading edge of aesthetics will probably always involve human skill, even if the methods we use to channel that skill will change dramatically. When it comes to relative-performance games, we should think of AI tools more like an instrument that can be played well or poorly, and less like a replacement for humans.
when it comes to status games, relative performance is what matters. And human+AI is probably going to beat AI alone for a long time.
Just like anyone under ~35 is considered to be “internet native,” today’s kids will be considered “AI native.”
