How could all this play into "flooding" the NFT markets?

It's hard to flood the NFT market any further. It was almost all autogenerated art before DALL-E was publicly available.

It's fascinating to me that in the first image, the llama's jersey has a drawing of a llama on it. I wonder if that was in the prompt?

DALL-E is truly magic. It got me believing we are close to AGI. I wonder what Gary Marcus or Filip Pieknewski think about it. Surely they must be eating crow.

Yesterday I saw one of Gandalf eating samples at Costco. I was laughing hysterically for a minute. AI is not supposed to have a sense of humor. That was supposed to be the last province of the human, but it is quite awhile since a human made me laugh like that.

And this AI doesn't. Your anecdote is totally unrelated to the idea of AGI in the gp post. The fact that it made you laugh is a happenstance. It was not "trying" to make you laugh.

I had similar problems trying to get the whole of a police car overgrown with weeds.

I was testing to see how close I could get to replicating a t-shirt graphic concept I saw.

I had been using ~"A telephoto shot of A neglected police car from the 1980s Viewed from a 3/4 angle sits in the distance. The entire vehicle is visible but it is overgrown with grass and flowery vines"

This process sounds great, though it seems like DALLE needs to offer tools to do this automagically.

It's funny in the way that mad libs are funny. It's unexpected. The reason it is unexpected is because the computer is dumb, not because it is smart.

NFTs are just numbers on a blockchain. The picture is a canard. In the US I don’t think you can copyright DALL-E images as they aren’t created by a human, so you spend money to make them and anyone else can use them.

I saw that on reddit. The face was horrific and not at all human like. It didn’t have a sense of humour - it just took a prompt and mashed some things together, but the prompt was funny and the image was horrifying. Not even uncanny valley shit, but “Gandalf was in a bad motorcycle and will never look like a human again” bad.

It’s still up on the dalle2 subreddit.

What prompts did you use for the infill and detail generation?

Good question! All of them had the same postfix ", studio ghibli, Hayao Miyazaki, in the style of Porco Rosso, steampunk". I used this for all the generations in the hopes of anchoring the style.

With the prefix of the prompt I described the image. I started the extension operations with "red seaplane over fantasy mediterranean city" but then I quickly realised that this was making the network generate floating cities in the sky for me. :D So then I varied the prompt. "red seaplane on blue sky" in the upper regions and "fantasy mediterranean city" in the lower ones.

I went even more specific and used "mediterranean sea port, stone bridge with arches" prefix for a particular detail where I wanted to retain the bridge (which I liked) but improve on the arches. (which looked quite dingy)

(I have just counted and it seems I have used 27 generations for this one project.)
