MidJourney allows you to specify other aspect ratios. DALL-E's square constraint makes a lot of things more difficult than they need to be IMO.

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

They're already using DALL-E for that 2021 fad.

I'm more curious of how this will effect stock photography. Soon anyone can generate the exact image they're looking for, no matter how obscure.

I wonder how this would play out with the new Stable Diffusion

I've tried out a couple of prompts from the post in Stable Diffusion and as expected the results were much weaker. It has drawn some alpacas and basketballs with little relation between the objects. I've been playing with Stable Diffusion a lot, and in my experience its results are much weaker then what's shown in this post. The artistic pictures that it generates are beautiful, often more beautiful then Dalle-2 ones…

Stable Diffusion has a smaller text encoder than Dalle 2 and other models (Imagen, Parti, Craiyon) so that it can fit into consumer GPUs. I believe StabilityAI will train models based on a larger text encoder, the text encoder is frozen and does not require training, so scaling the text encoder is quite free. For now this is the biggest bottleneck with Stable Diffusion, the generator is really good and the image quality alone is incredible (managing to outperform Dalle 2 most of the time).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

> AI is not supposed to have a sense of humor. 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.

It’s only unrelated if there’s no proto-AGI going on. Many images give me a moment of doubt, even though I absolutely know that I’m looking at nothing more than the output of a pile of model weights, says I the pile of neurons.

Can't wait for 'Tell HN: how I make mid six figures as a prompt engineer'.

"We let our graphic designer go so we could onboard a AI Prompt Engineer"

"How much are we paying him?"

"About $225k plus bonus and equity"

"And how much was the graphic designer paid?

"$55k"

"..."

> It’s important to tell DALL·E 2 exactly what you want That’s not as easy as it sounds. Specially in the surreal cases that DALL-E is usually requested. Sometimes you don’t know what you want until you see it. Other times you do, but are not able to express in ways that the computer can understand. I see being able to communicate efficiently with the machine as a future in demand skill

At least 10% of web dev today is being good at search prompts for Google. (And that's not necessarily a bad thing, it's just about finding the right tool or pattern for your specific problem)

Also with Stable Diffusion. It's a really cool feature to have and playing around.

Oh yeah. Knowing the keywords is what makes you an expert

If you're interested in browsing creative prompts, I highly recommend the reddit community at r/dalle2. Some are impressive: - www.reddit.com/r/dalle2/comments/uzosy1/the_rest_of_mona_lisa - www.reddit.com/r/dalle2/comments/vstuns/super_mario_getting_his_citizenship_at_ellis And others are hilarious: - www.reddit.com/r/dalle2/comments/v0pjfr/a_photograph_of_a_street_sign_that_warns_drivers - www.reddit.com/r/dalle2/c…

/r/weirddalle is also great for some inspiration, though most of the entries are memes generated by Dall-e Mini/Craiyon. I often find art styles and modifiers that I never considered, like "Byzantine mosaic" or "Kurzgesagt video thumbnail".
