The 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.

From what i've seen it's all about the VRAM

if you've got 60GB available to your GPU then maybe you can get close

I'm really curious if Apple's unified memory architecture is of benefit here, especially a few years from now if we can start getting 128/256GB of shared RAM on the SoC

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.

Love it! Better than other news I get to read these days. Some of it rings..like the bluebird suing the cat.

Thank you! Bookmarked!

They won't. DALL-E images are mostly not as high quality. The high quality stuff which everyone has been sharing is result of lots of cherry picking.

Even the high quality stuff still can't do human faces right.

This one surprised me when it came out, felt more ‘human’ than lots of stock photos: https://labs.openai.com/s/AsRKFiOKJmmZrVDxIGa75sSA

The results with things that are artworks or more general concepts are fascinating, but there is for sure something creepy with "photorealistic" human eyes and faces going on...

If you want to see some really creepy AI generated human "photo" faces, take a look at Bots of New York:

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.

They won't. DALL-E images are mostly not as high quality. The high quality stuff which everyone has been sharing is result of lots of cherry picking.

If someone can make money doing it they might.

Heck: If the cost to entry is prohibitively low they might do it at a loss and take over the site

I don't know how to say this without sounding like a jerk, even if I bend over backwards to preface that this isn't my intent: this statement says more about your creativity and curiosity than a ceiling on how entertaining DALL-E can be to someone who could keep multiple instances busy, like grandma playing nine bingo cards at once. Knowing that it will only get better - animation cannot be far behind - makes me feel…

Dall-e has novelty, but no intent, meaning, originality. Yes the author can be creative at generating prompts, but visually I haven’t seen it generate anything that feels artistically interesting. If you want pre-existing concepts in novel combinations then yes it works. It’s good at “in the style of” but there’s no “in a new style”. It has a house style too that tends to feel Reddit-like.

I would say it helps to first think what you want to get out of it.

If your task is "show me something that breaks through our hyperspeed media", then I guess some obscure museum is a better place than an ML model.

If your task is "find the best variation on theme X" or "quick draft visualization", they are often very useful. I am sure there will be many further tasks to which current and future models will be well suited. They are not magic picture machines. At least not yet.

This is fantastic, the fake news the world needs.
