Great document. Damn I am salivating to get access to Dall-E for some projects. Been on the waiting list for quite a while. I've been experimenting with Midjourney, which is amazing for spooky/ethereal artwork, but it struggles with complex prompts and realism.

Hang in there — I only got my invitation a couple days ago. They're still rolling out invitations at a steady pace. But, just as a side note, one of the first things they tell you is that they own the full copyright for any images you generate.

You definitely have to play around with prompts to get a feel for how it works and to maximize the chance of getting something closer to what you want.

I was expecting some clickbait/spam (the layout of the website has that feel) but this was surprisingly super in-depth and 100% matches up with my experience doing prompt engineering.

There's a fine line between so descriptive that the AI hits an edge case and can't get out of it (so every attempt looks the same) and not being descriptive enough (so you can't capture the output you're looking for). DALL-E is already incredibly fast compared to public models and I can't wait for the next order-of-magnitude improvement in generation speed.

Real-time traversal of the generation space is absolutely key for getting the output you want. The feedback loop needs to be as quick as possible, just like with programming.
