I can’t check right now but this mean the watermark is also gone and images will have a higher resolution?

That's about 10x as expensive as it should be

$15 for 115 iterations/460 images?

Yep. During the alpha it was (50*6) 300 images per day, by their pricing model that would be $300 a month now

$0.13/prompt can only be useful for artists/end users. Anyone thinking about using this at scale would need a 20/30x reduction in price. But there's still no API available so I think that will change with time. Maybe they will add different tiers based on volume.

One of the commercial use cases this post mentions is authors who want to add illustrations to children's stories.

I wonder if there is a way for DALL-E to generate a character, then persist that character over subsequent runs. Otherwise, it would be pretty difficult to generate illustrations that depict a coherent story.

Example ...

Image 1 prompt: A character named Boop, a green alien with three arms, climbs out of its spaceship.

Image 2 prompt: Boop meets a group of three children and shakes hands with each one.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

So you actually _wanted_ images that perpetuate the biases of the world?

I thought the same thing but I think the commenter is making a joke, but I could be wrong. I think they are suggesting that things like this (neural nets etc) work using bias, and by removing "bias" the developers are making the product worse. It's a very sh!t comment if it's not a joke.

Just to be sure. Does "OC" here mean Original Comment?

When there is a competitor, they can adjust pricing. For now, it's virtually magic.

You can cheat this to a limited extent using inpainting.

You should ship a competitor! Sounds like you found a great market opportunity.

That's disappointing given up until this point you could have 50 free uses per 24h. I expected it to get monetized eventually, but not so fast and drastically. Well, still had my fun and have to say the creations are so good it's often mind blowing there's an AI behind it.

I'm blown away by this: "Starting today, users get full usage rights to commercialize the images they create with DALL·E, including the right to reprint, sell, and merchandise. This includes images they generated during the research preview." I assumed this was going to be the sticking point for wider usage for a long time. They're now saying that you have full rights to sell Dall-E 2 creations?

I think they are reacting to competition. MidJourney is amazing, was easier to get into, gives you commercial rights, and frankly I found more fun to use and even better output in most instances.
