So, currently OpenAI's Dalle-2 gives me:

"The server is overloaded right now, please try again later."

I guess all their compute power is going to power this. And even now the Bing generation is taking a long time. Definitely seems like their having scaling issues at the moment.

I tried this out today and was very impressed by the results.

Remember when DALLE came out less than a year ago and people were amazed by the avocado armchair?

Between this and Midjourney v5, the quality of AI generated art is rapidly approaching human level and I can see it getting there very soon.

I feel like I'm looking at aliens wearing people's skin. https://kota.is/qpxa1.png Nightmare inducing. I hate it. https://kota.is/X57J5.png Ugh, this legit makes my stomach turn. https://kota.is/Q2hUI.jpg It's like a bad amusement park ride; no thanks.

Not sure what's scarier, the faces or the message from Chtulu in the text!

Unless these examples were cherry picked rare fails, I'm surprised it's so bad when there are a few of other generative models out there including ones by OpenAI which do human faces almost perfectly. Unless they're really throttling processing power used?

Can you create me an image of Donald Trump riding a bald eagle in space? Can you create me an image of Joe Biden riding a bald eagle in space? This prompt has been blocked.

Yes. OpenAI is quickly becoming the thought police through ChatGPT. Yesterday I asked it to give a description of a situation simulating that it was for an adult novel. It told me it was unethical to do that. I asked it if adult novels or adult novel writers were unethical. Banned immediately after asking that question. Edit: I wish the people downvoting would provide a reply. Otherwise you are doing the same as Chat…

Fair. No one has demanded an answer. And thank you for voluntarily choosing to share your opinion. I am genuinely concerned about the potential of this. OpenAI has massive power to censor what people can reason about with GPT. Seeing how fast they are growing, their beliefs of the world are going to be forced on millions of people. Do you not think that will happen, or do you think it is not something worth talking a…

> OpenAI has massive power to censor what people can reason about with GPT. This is like saying, the transportation of has massive power to censor where people can travel about within a bus. GPT is a tool for reasoning, but humans need to be able to reason on their own! and by using multiple tools! Of course every tool should help and enhance every human, but every tool has its limitations. There is nothing unethical…

They in fact do and land value (hence real estate), is deeply impacted by transportation reach and frequency decisions.

It also creates a corruption issue with businesses trying to influence politicians to make changes in their favor.

it's fun to try to find flaws in content blocking.

interesting datapoints: it will block some sexually suggestive prompts regarding women (a woman swimming in milk) but not for men (a man swimming in milk)

changing milk to "almond milk" got the prompt accepted but then blocked before showing image

refused any prompt with the word "bikini" (even for "on a statue") or "full body visible" (even if clothed)

I got suspended for the prompt "full bodied man" after "full bodied woman" was blocked.

Suspension says for violating content policy - I never asked a single time for anything explicitly sexual. Never asked for nudity, nakedness, sexuality, or anything like that. Never asked for a bikini or other revealing concept on a human. Only possible implications of sexual nature were "in milk" which it clearly found sexual, and "swimming" and only because it implies lots of skin showing.

In one instance, it showed a topless woman swimming, but breasts were blurred and had skin-colored nipples and basically looked like Barbie, and had shadows where nipples would go.

I am guessing it checks content two ways: both in the prompt, and then a second time on the actual generated image before displaying it. Which is smart.

I am guessing my suspension was based on blocked images, regardless of what I was asking for.

It's interesting that it also seemingly censors anything it detects as looking like nudity, but also in one case still displayed the censored version. or maybe it just happened to generate something that looked censored and therefore didn't trigger the nudity check

Had same problem just now. Seems like there was a pretty big outage [1] yesterday.

One of the updates states:

> "There is currently a Labs outage due to a failed database migration."

Most likely the database migration intended to extend its capacity.

The resolution tag states the following:

> "We are continuing to investigate more ways to add capacity to DALL·E"

So I guess we'll experience issues for the next days.

Hope that explains it :)

I agree, it's impressive. But still not at the level of useful. For example, I would never use any of these generative art images in company ads or marketing materials. They're not in the uncanny valley, but closer to that than something one would commission from a designer.
