I haven't got access to DALL-E 2, but I did give Midjourney ( https://www.midjourney.com/ ) a go. I found it really cool it created images that somewhat resembled my prompt, but I still felt it was way off what I really wanted. Maybe I didn't word the prompt correctly, maybe I didn't give it enough tries. Either way, I feel like we'll eventually move away from generic prompts to something that'll look a lot like...pr…

If you're using Midjourney, you might like this prompt generator that I made after scraping prompts from their Discord server: https://huggingface.co/succinctly/text2image-prompt-generato...

I just got access to the DALL-E 2 beta, and it's a ton of fun to make pictures out of everyday occurrences as prompts. Someone else here on HN observed that everyday people don't "get" how huge this all is. I experimented with asking random acquaintances at a local cafe for prompts and showed them the generated pictures. All but one person was totally unimpressed. If everything feels like magic, then what's one more…

It's the same underlying reason for https://xkcd.com/1425/. These tasks have always looked similar. The only reason we are amazed is because we know why one task is harder than the other. Understanding that is not easy.

None of us are immune to that. The amount of magic we all rely on every day is incomprehensible. We just take it for granted that there is power to our house, the trains arrive on time, the bridge doesn’t collapse, the coffee tastes nice and costs little.

looks like Midjourney's beta invite is expired

The server is open now. Anyone can join. https://discord.gg/midjourney

wow that's one busy server. Seems to be a high demand service.

It's better in some ways than craiyon and worse in others from my sampling (craiyon seems to give me less 'nice' options but better logo-y images)

30 years ago, my dad and I watched a VGA demo on our IBM PS/2. We were blown away that there was enough color depth and resolution to see what was clearly a photograph, not an illustration. It appeared line by line. Someone had taken a photo, somehow digitized it, distributed it, and we were looking at a representation good enough that we could tell what it was. It felt like we were living in the future - me as a mid…

Keyhole (which became Google Earth) was one for me

Randall Monroe himself didn't know how hard (easy) the task was. The Flickr team released a month after the comic this (sadly offline now):

Today a hobby programmer could do it by themself.

Prompt crafting is quickly becoming an art. I just found out yesterday that there's actually market places for buying and selling prompts [0]. It can really make a big difference if you can tune the image by adding the right words. Midjourney [1] even allows things such as adjusting the weight of each keyword or how "literal" the AI should take your prompt. [0] https://promptbase.com/ [1] https://midjourney.gitbook.i…

Does anyone know what kind of prompt generates such clean, consistent results like these? https://promptbase.com/prompt/clay-emojis https://promptbase.com/prompt/polygon-animals

Here's a trick for this use Google image search. That will give you various descriptions of similar images. Then use those descriptions in your prompt.

Some similar examples below but you will need to engineer the prompt a bit more to get it exactly the same.

That's why you have to pay $1.99.

After sharing and enjoying people share their prompts in various communities for 2-3 months, I hate this business model.

Spectacular! But, would be 10x more useful if rather than a PDF this was an HTML page, or pages, where specific sections/examples could be more easily & reliably linked-to.

Can't link to specific sections, but it is available as a HTML page too - https://pitch.com/v/DALL-E-prompt-book-v1-tmd33y
