Has anyone else had problems with the 'Generate Variations' functions lately? Tried it out first 3 days ago, and it says 'Something went wrong. Please try again later, or contact support@openai.com if this is an ongoing problem.' everytime since then.

Hmmm DALL·E was a struggling sometimes, you can always keep check on Discord, they keep us informed there.

It is possible, they confirmed on discord you can remove the watermark. Yep... The output is an issue, I'd like to pay if that was an upgrade.

Annoying that if removing the watermark is allowed that it is even inserted. Imagine if Adobe did that. Here’s more information on super resolution options beyond what Adobe already offers: (1) List of options current options for super resolutions: https://upscale.wiki/wiki/Different_Neural_Networks (2) Older example of one way to benchmark: https://docs.opencv.org/4.x/dc/d69/tutorial_dnn_superres_ben...

Between us... The watermark is just on the frontend... It's not into the image...

Surprised by the lack of comments on the ethics of DALL-E being trained on artists content whereas copilot threads are chock full of devs up in arms over models trained on open source code. Isn’t it the same thing?

good artists borrow, great artists steal

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.

You are surprised that human beings react more strongly to things that more directly threaten them?

We joke about it, but an early and very cheap robotic floor cleaner I had was one of those weasel balls constrained in a flat ring harness with a dusting cloth underneath. It was entertaining and not completely useless.

Put a guinea pig in there and you'd get the same effect.

I 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…

MidJourney gives ~unlimited generation for $30/month, and is nearly as good. Unlike DALL-E it doesn't deliberately nerf face generation. I've been having a blast.

Both seem equally bad with face generation, but Midjourney works really well with famous people (e.g. Trump).

Thing is, as a current user: you rarely get it right in the first prompt, you can iterate 10 times until you get what you want. I spent several tries yesterday to get this angle "from the ground up": https://labs.openai.com/s/mz8LiyvkI8KwD2luJ6MrS23m

So $1.30 for getting a result that would have cost how much to pay someone to make? Not to mention the 59 other variations you would have.

That is a fair point. I don't think the pricing is unreasonable, but it feels limiting. You could try 1000 variations until you find what you need perfectly, but in that pricing model users will be induced to use less the tool, not more.

I'd prefer an option to pay like 200 usd/year to use unlimited. And maybe have a price per use only in the API.

edit: this pricing model also makes it expensive to learn to use the tool.

I would like to point out that there is not as much of an uproar on this forum over DALL-E utilizing other people’s photographs, illustrations, et al, as there is around Copilot utilizing other people’s code.

Why do you think that is?
