Earlier quoted context omitted.

This produces dramatically worse results in my experience.

Not worse, but different. It depends on the prompt but DALL-E mini/mega seems to do better then DALL-E 2 for certain types of absurd prompts, such as the ones in /r/weirddalle

Yes, there are very sharp lines where it does and doesn't understand. It understands color and gender but not materials. I got very good outputs for "blue female Master Chief" but "starship enterprise made out of candy" was complete garbage.

I fully expect stock image sites to be swamped by DALL-E generated images that match popular terms (e.g. "business person shaking hands"). Generate the image for $0.15. Sell it for $1.00.

DALLE images are still only 1024 px wide. Which has its uses, but I don’t think the stock photo industry is in real danger until someone figures out a better AI superresolution system that can produce larger and more detailed images.

I was supposed to be making a video game, but got a bit sidetracked when DALL·E came out and made this website on the side: http://dailywrong.com/ (yes I should get SSL). It's like The Onion, but all the articles are made with GPT-3 and DALL·E. I start with an interesting DALL·E image, then describe it to GPT-3 and ask it for an Onion-like article on the topic. The results are surprisingly good.

This is clever. Does GPT-3 come up with the title of the article, too? That's the funniest part.

I am thrilled about DALL-E, and the new terms of service. However, how they implemented the improved "diversity" is hilarious. Turns out that they randomly, silently modify your prompt text to append words like "black male" or "female". See https://twitter.com/jd_pressman/status/1549523790060605440 I don't know which emotion I feel more - applause at how glorious this hack is or tears at how ugly it is. Good luck to…

Interesting. Considering this is now a paid product, is modifying user input covered by their ToS? If I was spending a lot of money on it I'd be rather annoyed my input was being silently polluted.

The racist pollution came long before this product was a glimmer in our eye.

I was really enjoying using Dalle2 to take surrealist walks around the latent image space of human cultural production. I was using it as one might use Wikipedia researching the links between objects and their representation. Also just to generate suggestion for what to have for lunch. None of this was for anything of commercial value to me. What am I to do now, start to find ways to sell the images I'm outputting? D…

With real artist left only making images of sex and violence and other TOS violations

I'm curious to know - does the community have any open source alternatives to DALL.E? For an initiative named OpenAI, keeping their source code and models closed behind a license is bullshit in my opinion.

Spam advertising is about to reach whole new levels of weird.

I have some first-hand experience about how the copyright office views these works from creating an AI assistant to help me write these melodies: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoCzMRqh5SkFwkumE578Y.... Here is a quote from the response from the Copyright Office email before I provided additional information about how they were created:

"To be copyrightable, a work must be fixed in a tangible form, must be of human origin, and must contain a minimal degree of creative expression"

So some employees there are aware of the impact that AI can have. Getting these DALL-E images copyrighted won't be trivial. I think it will be many years before the law is clarified.
