I figured this would quickly go off the rails into surreal territory, but instead it ended up being progressive technological de-evolution. Starting prompt: "A futuristic hybrid of a steam engine train and a DaVinci flying machine" Results: https://dalle.party/?party=14ESewbz (Addendum: In case anyone was curious how costs scale by iteration, the full ten iterations in this result billed $0.21 against my credit balan…

Here's a second run of the same starting prompt, this time using the "make it more whimsical" modifier. It makes a difference and I find it fascinating what parts of the prompt/image gain prominence during the evolutions.

Starting prompt: "A futuristic hybrid of a steam engine train and a DaVinci flying machine"

Results: https://dalle.party/?party=qLHPB2-o

Cost: Eight iterations @ $0.44 -- which suggests to me that the API is getting additional hits beyond the run. I confirmed that the share link isn't passing along the key (via a separate browser and a separate machine) so I'm not clear why this is might be.

Cool idea! I made one with the starting prompt "an artificial intelligence painting a picture of itself": https://dalle.party/?party=wszvbrOx It consistently shows a robot painting on a canvas. The first 4 are paintings of robots, the next 3 are galaxies, and the final 2 are landscapes.

Great idea, and it came out really good too. I like the 6th one the best

I would never paste my API key into an app or website.

Indeed!

If OpenAI wants to support use cases like this, which would be kind of cool during these exploratory days, they should let you generate "single use" keys with features like cost caps, domain locks, expirations, etc

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This is absolutely hilarious. "business-themed puns" turned into incorrectly labeling the skiers race has me rolling.

The inability of AI images to spell has always amused me, and it's especially funny here. I got a special kick out "IDEDA ENGINEEER" and "BUZSTEAND." The image where the one guy's hat just says "HISPANIC" is also oddly hilarious.

Idk what it is, but I have a special soft spot for humor based around odd spelling (this video still makes me laugh years later: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EShUeudtaFg).

Can you get a temporary one that is revocable later? (Not an OpenAI user myself, but that would seem to be a way to lower the risk to acceptable levels)

You can generate and revoke them easily, so I don't quite get the issues. Create one, use the tool, revoke, done.

You can really "cheat" by modifying the custom prompt to re-insert or remove specific features. For example, "generate a prompt for this image but adjust it by making everything appear in a more primitive, earlier evolutionary form, or in an earlier less developed way" would make things de-evolve.

Or you can just re-insert any theme or recurring characters you like at that stage.

You can create named API keys, and easily delete them. Unfortunately you can't seem to put spend limits on specific API keys.

If you're not using the API for serious stuff though it's not a big problem, as they moved to pre-paid billing recently. Mine was sitting on $0, so I just put in a few bucks to use with this site.
