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.
Why do the images load so slow though?

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.
Your input isn't being polluted by this any more than it is when the tokens in it are ground up into vectors and transformed mathematically. You just have an easier time understanding this transformation.
These kinds of modifications are obviously different. At least the mathematical transformations are attempting at least some level of fidelity to user input, these ones aren't (e.g. someone mentioned they're sometimes getting androgynous results and speculates the added terms are conflicting with the ones they provided in their input). Not all black boxes are equivalent.

I think they are reacting to competition. MidJourney is amazing, was easier to get into, gives you commercial rights, and frankly I found more fun to use and even better output in most instances.
MidJourney seems a little less all-out commercial. The way everyone’s creations are in giant open Discord channels is great too
One of the commercial use cases this post mentions is authors who want to add illustrations to children's stories. I wonder if there is a way for DALL-E to generate a character, then persist that character over subsequent runs. Otherwise, it would be pretty difficult to generate illustrations that depict a coherent story. Example ... Image 1 prompt: A character named Boop, a green alien with three arms, climbs out of…
Since many people will start generating their first images soon, be sure to check out this amazing DALL-E prompt engineering book [0]. It will help you get the most out of DALL-E. [0]: https://dallery.gallery/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/The-DALL%... (PDF)

Is it trained on unlicensed work gathered at random at the web? (I really don't know, and I didn't find anything about it on their site.)
In a way, it's no different than an artist walking through an art gallery then going home, inspired, to paint a dark portrait a la Rembrandt
Wait until someone trains a model like this, for porn. There seems to be a post-DALLE obscenity detector on openAI's tool, as so far I've found it to be entirely robust against deliberate typos designed to avoid simple 'bad word lists'. Ask it for a "pruple violon" and you get purple violins... you get the deal. "Metastable" prompts that may or may not generate obscene (content with nudity, guns, violence as I've fou…
Honestly that part pisses me off. Who cares if their AI "makes porn" or something "offensive".
Why do that? Just refusing to run my query is sufficient. Who is harmed if I continue to bang my head against that wall?

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…
