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…

Another interesting thing with prompt engineering is that attempt #1 with prompt x might yield something you don't want, but attempt n might yield something you do :)

Dall-e still has a lot of work to be done with face construction. Maybe that’s a feature not a bug.

It's seems to be by far the best of any other drawing AI besides the "this person does not exist" series, but those are quite specialized.

You could be right though. It does "digital art" well, but realistic faces poorly, and they slap down lots of restrictions to avoid deepfaking.

I'm surprised at the artistic skill of the person who wrote the book, in contrast with the terrible web UI skill of the person who designed the site.

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.

Just got mine last night. I think they are scaling up invites in the past few days.

Wouldn't surprise me too much, if they were the same person, but had vastly different amounts of experience with the different media?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You can have free access here to dalle at https://replicate.com/nicholascelestin/dalle-mega and dalle mini https://huggingface.co/spaces/dalle-mini/dalle-mini

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.

Given that Crungus has now entered the Internet, the next version will certainly know what it a Crungus.

Same here - I got mine 2 days ago. Signed up when it first dropped.
