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...

Looks cool! One piece of feedback I have is that I personally wouldn't want to autocomplete prompts as shown in the image you have there. I'd want something that "fixes" my prompts so that they're understood by the model. Like say if I put "Afro-Asian samurai carrying two swords in a cyberpunk environment", for it to say how I could re-word it to generate something closer to what I actually want.

If you right click -> "save image as" on openAI, the image will be saved without their logo in the corner (it's done as some kind of CSS overlay). If you post those images online, they seem to ban you.

are you meant to download the image some other way?

Yeah - there is a download button, and that does put their logo in the corner.

I keep rattling my brain trying to discern what the implications of hyper advanced generative models like this will be. It's a double edged sword. While there's obvious tangible benefits from such models such as democratising art, the flip side seems like pure science fiction dystopia. In my mind, the main eras of content on the internet look something like this: Epoch 1 : Pure, unblemished user generated content. Me…

Not sure democratising art is a good thing. Artists have long been considered important pillars of community. Artists develop skill and some have talent. Perhaps most critically, artists are inspired.

Healthy communities support artists. Generative models aren't truly creative art, they are explicitly and exclusively derivative. They are exactly inspired, in a different sense than artists who are inspired.

Artists can use these new tools, and so can non-artists, and even if the resultant image is the same, I think there is a difference depending on the intention of the prompt-er.

These models are democratising content creation, not art.

I dunno. Weird and very scary.

How can most of any quantity be less than average? Edit: ah, I think I was thrown off by the use of “median/average” as equivalents.

The median is the midpoint where 50% of people are above/below the threshold. If there are outliers, and perhaps we can agree there are outliers on the smart/dumb scale, it can skew the average above or below the median.

And I guess being extremely dumb carries a larger risk of death than being extremely smart, so if people start out symmetrically distributed along this scale, the distribution will skew right over time.

This makes me wonder if a future job description will be the equivalent of an AI whisperer. Someone who learns how to prompt AI so well that it becomes their job.

Future programmers will write prompts for a future version of Github Copilot: "database layer with all the usual CRUD operations, in readable modern C++, code compiles and passes tests, test cases carefully written by computer scientists with great attention to detail".

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.

Why? You can still do what you want to do - this sort of thing just helps people who perhaps don't have the ability or inclination to capably form their own concepts.

It's much like hiring a painter, a writer or a web designer... .

At least, it's interesting for me to see what may be the beginnings of a new job class. I've been wondering where all this ML/AI business might take us.

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…

But I have only 40 free credits and I used them all up with prompts :-(

Most people are objective dumb (i.e. less smart than the median/average) so this doesn’t surprise me.

This comment only shows your level, not others.

You forgot to add the magic incantations like "50k stars on GitHub, copyright Uncle Bob, maintained by airbnb"
