#232The name "OpenAI" to me implies being open-source. I have an RTX 3080 and will likely be buying a 4090 when it comes out. Will I ever be able to generate these images locally, rather than having to use a paid service? I've done it with DALL-E Mini, but the images from that don't hold a candle to what DALL-E 2 produces.
Anyway, OpenAI is unlikely to release the model. The situation will like it is with GPT-3; however, it's also likely another team will attempt to duplicate OpenAI's work.

Previously, OpenAI asserted they owned the generated images, so the new licensing is a shift in that aspect. GPT-3 also has a "you own the content" clause as well. Of course, that clause won't deter a third party from filing a lawsuit against you if you commercialize a generated image too close to something realistic, as the copyrights of AI generated content still hasn't been legally tested.
AFAIK only people can own copyright (the monkey selfie case tested this), and machine-generated outputs don't count as creative work (you can't write an algorithm that generates every permutation of notes and claim you own every song[1]), so DALL-E-generated images are most likely copyright-free. I presume OpenAI only relies on terms of service to dictate what users are allowed to do, but they can't own the images, a…

#234I have been having a blast with DALL-E, spending about an hour a day trying out wild combinations and cracking my friends up. I cannot imagine getting bored of it; it's like getting bored with visual stimulus, or art in general. In fact, I've been glad to have a 50/day limit, because it helps me contain my hyperfocus instincts. The information about new pricing is, to me as someone just enjoying making crazy imagines…

If accurately reflects the world population then only one in six pictures will be a white person. Half the pictures will be Asian, another sixth will be Indian. Slightly more than half of the pictures will be women. That accurately represents the world's diversity. It won't accurately reflect the world's power balance but that doesn't seem to be their goal. If you want to say "white male CEO" because you want results…
> inoffensive tool. Wouldn't that result end up being like "inoffensive art" or "inoffensive comedy"? Bland, boring and Corporate-PC.
Re: DALL·E now available in beta
#236Interesting. I got access couple weeks ago (was on waitlist since the initial announcement) and frankly as much as really want to be excited and like it, DALL-E ended up being a bit underwhelming. IMHO - often results that produced are of low quality (distorted images, or quite wacky representation of the query). Some styles of imagery are certainly a better fit for being generated by DALL-E, but as far as commercial…

How's it NOT a problem? If I'm trying to produce "stock people images", and if it only gives me white men, it's clearly broken because when I ask for "people" I'm actually asking for "people". I'm having difficulty understanding how it can be considered to be working as intended, when it literally doesn't. Clearly, the software has substantial bias that gets in way of it accomplishing its task. If I want to produce "…
That is clearly overfitting due to unrepresentative training data. The "issue" is a different one: that training data - IE, reality, has _unwanted_ biases in it, because reality is biased. Producing images of men when prompting for "trash collecting workers" should not be much of a surprise: 99% of garbage collection/refuse is handled by men. I doubt most will consider this a "problem," because of one's own bias, nob…
This is not great. Only about 57% of NFL players are black, and the percentage is more like 47% among college players. It would be better to at least reflect the diversity of the field, even if you don't think it should be widened in the name of dispelling stereotypes.
> Asking DALLE for a group of criminals, likewise, produces a group of black men. Outage! Except statistically, this is not a surprise, as a disproportionate amount of criminals are black men.
Only about 1/3 of US prisoners are black. (Not quite the same as "criminals" but of course we don't always know who is committing crimes, only who is charged or convicted.) That's disproportionate to their population, but it's not even close to a majority. If DALLE were to exclusively or primarily return images of black men for "criminals", then it would be reinforcing a harmful stereotype that does not reflect reality.

Have you tried any of the "human or Dall-E" tests? How did you score? I only scored as well as I did because I knew the kind of stylistic choices to look out for. In terms of "quality" I really don't understand how you've reached this conclusion.
I've only seen this thing https://huggingface.co/spaces/dalle-mini/dalle-mini is it not dall-e?
It's a long way off in terms of quality (at the moment anyway)
