It's a race to the top. New functionality is added and the model is improved week over week.
That's still a race to the bottom if the price isn't going up.
Why would Google hold back on releasing Imagen if there are competitors that are publicly available already? Imagen isn't special anymore.
Everyone says stable diffusion is a free alternative. Where do I get the weights without passing a gatekeeper?
6 months from now, how we interact with these models will probably look entirely different.

So DALL-E is already old news and the Stable Diffusion ecosystem is once again already ahead especially with this announcement. Quite funny to see OpenAI panicking and falling on their own sword, as they were supposed to be 'Open' in the first place and are now being disrupted by open source.
This is just nonsense. I pay (a small amount) for both. They have different strengths and it’s fun to compare. Adding new features to a product is not a sign of panic, it’s just normal.
I agree that Dall-E isn't obsolete. I'd also add MidJourney to that list. All three are great models in their own right with their own pronounced strengths and weaknesses. But when it comes to enabling novel workflows Stable Diffusion seems lightyears ahead of the others.

What benefits? The parent is non-profit. I'd argue they're imperfect, but they don't look like arses. Big gap between the two, too.
Are they non-profit? Does receiving $1b investment from a for-profit company still mean you can be non-profit?

How long until we can run this over shows like Star Trek Voyager/DS9 and Seinfeld to achieve believable 16:9 scenes?
Feels like a race to the bottom. More features, lower cost, every week. No idea where it’ll level out, but I like it. Just bought some more Dalle credits today because it’s so much fun. This is a revolution in ‘art technology’ it’s like Steve Job’s bicycle for the mind. Best I could do a month ago was a stick figure in MS Paint, but now..

I have been thinking the same thing, it's sad Steve will not be able to see it

Stable Diffusion is arguably better, has more features, and is free. OpenAI can't compete with free. Even if you don't want to take the 30 seconds to set it up in a free Google Colab environment, the paid DreamStudio version is still half the price of Dalle.
Amusingly it's more open in every way.
