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.

I've played with Midjourney for awhile and just got my invite to DALL-E last night. One thing I think is really cool about Midjourney is the ability to give it image URLs as part of the prompts. I can't say I've had tremendous success with it, and it still feels a little half-baked, but I wish DALL-E had something along those lines. (Unless it does and I'm missing it). It's much easier to show examples of a particular style than to try to describe it, especially if it isn't something specifically named in the AI's training set.

You can upload an image to DALL-E, edit it and add a prompt to it as well.

That's an open source recreation based on DALL-E 1. It's different to DALL-E 2, if you want that look for DALLE2-pytorch, but note that it hasn't been trained fully yet.

Is this significantly different from Dall-E2?

My propmt of 'penguin smoking a bong' does not disappoint on either, although hugging face more accurately portrayed the act of smoking, while replicate gave me images of penguin shaped bongs

DALL-E mini/Craiyon is fantastic, but it doesn't compare to DALL-E2 at present, when you're talking about photorealism.

That said, some styles (Comic book spreads) seem to come out better on Craiyon. And DALLE 2 does not know what a Crungus is.

The model is roughly 4 orders of magnitude smaller.

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 don't think the provider of an AI image generator service can decide they own the copyrights to it (perhaps they can require you assign the copyrights, though it may not even be copyrightable?), only courts can (and they decided the person setting up cameras for monkeys didn't own the copyrights to the monkey photos)?
