I don't really agree with your take. First off, the PDF in this very post, as well as promptwiki link posted elsewhere in the comments, shows that there are definitely people doing this for free too. As for your analogy, I'd say it's closer to paying someone to help you find something obscure and hard to find on Google. Anything that requires skill and time to do should be allowed to be monetized. Of course, as you m…
> As for your analogy, I'd say it's closer to paying someone to help you find something obscure and hard to find on Google. That's exactly what google dorks were. Google started out as a great search engine, but it's also a tool and 'Google Fu' was a real thing. Anyone could easily find song lyrics and news articles. It took effort (time and skill) to understand how google worked and how to format searches to get the…
Again, the culture hasn't changed. I remember paid Photoshop tutorial two decades ago, just as there is free prompt databases nowadays as I mentioned in the previous post. There always was and will always be some people trying to profit, and others doing it for free. It's still the case now.
I still maintain that Dall-E is just a tool just like Photoshop, it just happens to be a layer above. IT takes time and effort to find the right prompt to get the result you want, just like it takes time and effort to find the right effects and filters in Photoshop to get what you want.
Anything that takes time and effort to do will always have demand, which will always have people trying to monetize, while others trying to do for free.

#153I 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...
Cool! Based on your description, I thought I can give the generator an image and it'll return the prompt. Would that be possible?

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.
Because it provides an incentive to not share knowledge, but instead hide it behind micro transactions.
For some, sure - but I've derived far more for free on the internet over my 25 years on it than I have ever paid for, and I don't imagine that'd change here.

#155Any chance there's something similar out there for Midjourney?

How long did it take for you to generate your images? I've been using https://www.craiyon.com/ for fun but the wait times always results in me getting distracted elsewhere.
I've been using Midjourney [1] (it's not free, 25 photos demo, then 10$ for ~200 photos or 30$ for unlimited I think?). It's fairly fast, ~20s for a grid of 4, then as much for upscaling. I like the controls, it lets you do variations and tweak the image as you go. It's not as good for doing concrete asks, but it's very good for getting specific vibes. The website feed [1] requires Discord login to view examples, but…
I immediately subscribed to Midjourney after seeing a couple of online tutorials. Prompts/commands being all open source on the community feed was the killer feature for me.

#157Spectacular! 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
Sadly, that slideshow presentation has made HTML even worse than a PDF, in this case.
