I just got access today. Can’t wait to try it out.

We produce a lot of content and the biggest hurdle in graphic creation is the back and forth with the designer, plus the lag between writing, designing, and publishing. This would make it easy enough that the writer can include a prompt for the illustration right in the text itself.

More than the costs, I’m excited about the efficiency gains and smoother workflows.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The first one is really amazing! Something strange about DALL·E is that if you just type gibberish by pounding randomly on your keyboard, it will still "work", i.e., produce an image.

Both look very generic, like I've seen them before. I wouldn't be surprised if you could find nearly identical images somewhere on the net.

From the examples I’ve seen, Dall-E is much better than the average designer or artist, but can’t really hold a candle to a talented human artist.

With all respect possible, you generated something that a professional will create for 20 minutes on a napkin (in the context of logo idea). Maybe your perception of "logo" needs more reference points. For example, this gallery of classics in Brand Identity will be a good starting point(use the triangles on top to navigate): https://www.joefino.com/logos_html/L01_Xpand.html There is no doubt in my mind that the next…

The real question is how soon will GPT-3(4?) replace commenters on websites like this one, and whether you will even be able to tell.

The first one looks like every deviant art user's profile picture

I was going to comment that both look very much like what you'd find in an advanced beginner's deviantart portfolio...like, late high school-ish age, I woudl guess.

The second is more 'advanced' to me than the first, possessing an actual style, but neither is anything I would consider high quality enough to serve as a project/company/site/personal logo.

It's a good start, but it's more of an illustration than a logo to be honest. It should work as a single color (white, black), at small scale and in combination with your product name.

I’ve had luck with similar things by being careful about my text prompt. Asking for tiny icon sized images also seems to clue it into the stylistic constraints of tiny icons (like what you mention).

The first one looks like the Bacardi logo with a dragon instead of a bat and the second one looks like a Charmander. I think the second one is interesting because most art I see with baby dragons look more dragon-like and less salamander.

Not sure if this will be considered off topic, my apologies if so.

The article says that octopi is the plural of octopus, but it's actually octopuses. Octopus is originally Greek, not Latin and thus does not get the Latin plural -i, but instead would get the Greek plural -odes. Since it ends in a way English can deal with, the commonly accepted usage is octopuses (English) over octopodes (Greek) with octopi being the least correct.

Lately, there seems to be an avalanche of tools like DALL-E, was there some breakthrough that helped make these thinks more viable to run publicly? And concerning creating a logo with such tools: Is there any consensus on an eventual copyright of such works?

Big pretrained models are a huge contributing factor. Being able to take a model that already mostly knows language and a model that already mostly knows images and hook them up means you don’t need to do the entire end to end learning together.
