#2End of the day, unless it's opened up Dall-E 2 will be seen as an evolutionary dead end of this tech and a misstep.
It's gone from potentially one of the most innovative companies on the horizon to a dead product now I can spin up equivalent tech on my own machine, hook into my workflow and tools in an afternoon all because Stable Diffusion released their model into the wild.

#3DALL-E tech aside, this is a great reference for artistic style.

#4This is a phenomenal reference guide - thank you so much for creating it!

#5Thank you for sharing this! I realized it was really hard to verbalize what I wanted from Stable Diffusion, so will be trying some of these and see what it comes up with.

Yeah, until Stable Diffusion became available, I felt that Dall-E 2 stance on not opening it up was sorta reasonable. Mostly because "groundbreaking tech producing all these impressive results that cost a ton to build, and I bet stable diffusion announcements were all just riding the hype, and it will disappoint at the end."
I have never eaten my words as fast as I did when stable diffusion had finally released. Such a gamechanger while running locally, it isn't even funny. All these parameters and samplers one could play with, use a one-click simple gui or cli or a web front-end or even hook it up to any existing code flow that you have going. And it all just works well, with every week bringing new advancements (like img2img).
I haven't heard anyone talk about Dall-E 2 in over a month. Like, at all. All while stable diffusion overtook pretty much every single social circle related to image generation that I was in.
Major props to the stable diffusion team. They had a very high bar to reach, and not only they managed to do it extremely fast, they blew way past it. Leading by example, in the face of all the "no no no, we gotta keep the model and everything closed, and you shouldnt be able to run it locally, oh and also we hardcoded input filters because safety and we know better than you do" bs arguments was extremely satisfying to watch.

My stable diffusion output looks awful. I've been trying to recreate the xkcd about Joe Biden eating sandwiches, so I try something like "Joe Biden eating a sandwich in the oval office, 4k render, photograph" and I get nightmare fuel with pieces of bread attached to his head, faces that dissolve into random geometric shapes, toppings that melt into hands while a sandwich sits on a plate in front of him, etc.
I had high hopes based on posts from the SD subreddit, and I figured Biden would be well represented in the training data. Am I missing something?

You might try using image to image with the comic and previously mentioned prompt as inputs.

#9That is really great! Thanks!

SD isn't great at generating images for detailed, weird prompts (at least not compared to DALL-E2). If you're not great at prompt writing or just having bad luck, you can use img2img with a rough sketch of what you want.
