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…

You can't do that. I can't see this working well for children's book illustrations unless the story was specifically tailored in a way that makes continuity of style and characters irrelevant.

> 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.

So DALL·E 2 is going to restart, revive and cause another renaissance of fully automated and mass generated NFTs, full of derivatives and remixing etc to pump up the crypto NFT hype squad?

Either way, OpenAI wins again as these crypto companies are going to pour tens of thousands of generated images to pump their NFT griftopia off of life support, reconfirming that it isn't going to die that easily.

Regardless of this possible revival attempt, 90% of these JPEG NFTs will eventually still die.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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?

Typo, now fixed.

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

Watermarks are still there and resolution still 1024x1024.

I wonder if they have plans to allow SVG exports in the future. I mean, the file size would probably be ridiculous in a lot of the cases, but for my use case I wouldn't mind it. And sucks about the watermark, maybe they will introduce an option to pay for removing it.

Something I haven’t seen anyone talking about with these huge models: how do future models get trained when more content online is model generated to start with? Presumably you don’t wanna train a model on autogenerated images or text, but you can’t necessarily know which is which.

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?

It also means there will possibly be another renaissance of fully automated, mass generated NFTs and tons of derivatives and remixes flooding the NFT market in an attempt to pump the NFT hype again.

It doesn't matter, OpenAI wins anyway as these companies will pour hundreds of thousands into generated images.

It seems that the NFT grift is about to be rebooted again, such that it isn't going to die that quickly. But still, eventually 90% of these JPEG NFTs will die anyway.

You can cheat this to a limited extent using inpainting.

You mean just generate a single large image with all the stuff you want for the whole story, and then use cropping and inpainting to get only the piece you want for each page?
