Couldn't happen to a more deserving group of people. Good riddance. Squatting the name "open" and trying to reap the benefits therein while being anything but.
I've been complaining for years about WikiLeaks not being a wiki -- no one wants to listen....
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..
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.
I can think of ways to fix Stable Diffusion since it's open-source. I think I could bridge the gaps as I see them in about a weekend of hacking. I'm not sure when I'll get that weekend.
(Footnote: What I want to do is not something I can explain without a technical blog-post-length document or a zoom call; it's about the same level of complexity as the other major SD hacks we've seen)

> Best I could do a month ago was a stick figure in MS Paint That is still the best you can do... which happens to be about the best I can do! Just like my introduction to the computer at a young age has atrophied my handwriting quality.
I think Dall-E would benefit from a "sketch-based" prompt in addition the text based. This was mindblowing - https://andys.page/posts/how-to-draw/

Anyways I think it’s way too early to start taking sides. I enjoy using all these system.

Do you know the best Google Colab tutorial / repo?
https://github.com/hlky/stable-diffusion is another popular and good tool.

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.

I thought their research actually is open, at least? That's still something...
Their research is closed -- they don't release model weights, nor in most cases the training or model scripts. Certain things they release, just like any other for-profit research firm.
"Open" is not well-defined.

I find Stable Diffusion better overall, but it has downsides. Stable Diffusion tends to be more creative than DALL-E, but does a lousy job of following directions, especially complex ones. DALL-E is good if I know what I want specifically. I can think of ways to fix Stable Diffusion since it's open-source. I think I could bridge the gaps as I see them in about a weekend of hacking. I'm not sure when I'll get that wee…
That said, for me, I agree that dalle does much better pencil sketches.

Sure, both SD and Midjourney produce absolutely beautiful artworks most of the time. But if you want something specific and out of the ordinary it takes a lot of attempts and promptcrafting (and sometimes you are unable to accomplish what you want at all).
However, my experience is that these prompts (which SD/MJ struggles with) often produce good results in Dalle2 even on the first try.
Of course, OpenAI has very limiting content policy. But if I have something very specific in mind and it passes their rules I currently chose Dalle-2. Even though I've spent much more time with SD.
