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.

http://dailywrong.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/DALL%C2%B7E... Hot dang. Some Reddit subs can be auto-generated now.

It's already a thing:

https://www.reddit.com/r/SubSimulatorGPT2/

but yea, it will have generated images now.

I’m curious, if they’re only making DALL-E accessible now, and if GPT-3 was never really accessible (as far as I know). How do you have access to these things to generate text and images?

DALL-E was accessible by invite/waiting queue. GPT-3 is available for pretty long.

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.

It's pretty good at faces now. https://labs.openai.com/s/BAdAExWMdtyyC5VJVxXF5wdd

There's no waitlist for GPT-3 now. DALL-E is an unrelated product; you don't need access to both.

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.

I'm already bored of it. When you have everything, you have nothing.

I was actually forcing myself to go through the whole 50/day because I knew it wouldn't be free forever, and I wanted to get better at it. I'm glad I did, but I wish I did more.

> trying out wild combinations and cracking my friends up Wait until the next edition comes out where it automatically learns the sorts of things that crack you up and starts generating them without any input from you.

> Here's what we, a small number of people, think the world should look like according to our own biases and information bubble in the current moment. You're being quite charitable. It is much more likely that optics and virtue signaling is behind this addition.

If I search for “food” I don’t want to see a slice of pizza every time, even if that’s the #1 food. I want to see some variety. I think you’re jumping to quickly to bad intentions. Injecting diversity of results is a sane thing to do, totally irrespective of politics.

You are correct but that's not what anyone's discussing.

If I search for "food", the reasonable result would be to get images that represent food according to its actual proportions of real life. E.g. if Pizza is the most common food at 10% prevalence, 10% of the images should be pizza.

That's not what OpenAI are doing.

They are introducing crafted biases to create images that deliberately misrepresent what the world looks like, and instead represent what they believe the world ought to look like.

You also need some reason why diversity "of this" is important but not diversity "of that". Why is diversity of race and sex so critical, but not diversity of age, height, disability? Should a search for "basketball player" yield 1/2 able-bodied people and 1/2 wheelchair basketball players? Why?

Then try to answer where you came up with the categories you do want depicted. Why are the races what they are? Should "basketball player" include half whites and half black people? Or maybe split in 3, white/black/Asian? Why not Australian Aborigines, native Americans, or Persians - so we can divide into 6? If you don't add Indian people to your list then, is that racist against them? How did you decide what must be represented, in what proportions, and what's okay to leave out?

I'm sure the novelty wears off. But I'm already coming up with several applications for it. On the personal side, I've been getting into game development, but the biggest roadblock is creating concept art. I'm an artist but it takes a huge amount of time to get the ideas on paper. Using DALLE will be a massive benefit and will let me expedite that process. It's important to note that this is not replacing my entire c…

>I'm an artist but it takes a huge amount of time to get the ideas on paper. this is what I really like about DALLE-mini, it's ability to create pretty good basic outlines for a scene. it's low resolution enough that there's room for your own creativity while giving you a good template to spring off from. things like poses, composition of multiple people, etc.

I'm in exactly the same boat. I got tired of waiting around for openai to take me off their waitlist and used DALLE-mini (now craiyon) to generate large batches of concept art for a project I was working on. I picked the ones that, despite being low-res blobs, conveyed the right mood or had an interesting composition of elements. I then layered my favorite elements of those and painted over, adding details wherever I wanted, and came out with something much better than I would've been able to make alone.
