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 use both too. Dall E has heavy restrictions. It's basically G rated, so no horror. And no real world stuff like "Donald Trump with a mohawk".

MJ falls apart when you ask for fine detail. It's a bit of the AI cliche where you have to describe the colour, shape, etc in detail to mold what you want. Asking for a "monkey, gorilla, and chimp riding a bicycle" might have a chimp riding a monkey-gorilla as a bicycle.

Dall E is a lot better with words. It seems to "smooth" some stuff. Like asking for a bone axe will still show regular axes.

But MJ is probably the best choice if you want to do landscapes and stuff, especially horror/dystopian themed.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Is this significantly different from Dall-E2?

The model is roughly 4 orders of magnitude smaller.

That's a nice way of saying it's 10000 times worse. It's just worlds apart.

i really don't understand how people can appreciate something like this. to me it just filling the world with literally mindless garbage.

It's more similar to photography/fishing than other art forms.

Nice! I was wondering why there are example images of real-looking people, but it seems this is allowed now: https://www.vice.com/en/article/g5vbx9/dall-e-is-now-generat...

Hmm I signed up 2 days ago and it still says "Please don't share images of realistic faces." when you sign up.

Idk, it's pretty damn good at a lot of things, still. It's definitely very useful. Mega, at least. Mini is ok.

Yeah, I saw that too, but it doesn't seem to be in the terms of use?

When did you sign up? They seem to opening the gates more:

Sure, because having a synthetic intelligence that seems to understand complex concepts to create coherent visual art is something humans are used to.
