This was already possible with DALL-E using the inpainting feature going from defined image to transparent edge; this just automates what was a manual process before. Do wish the inpainting tool had more options, for example to fade a transparency in, since my understanding is it makes a difference; not to mention magic wand selection/deselection tool.

In case it is not obvious, every time a user generates an additional section of an image using the outpainting feature, it costs a credit.

Automation of manual processes is generally useful.

This is cool and useful!

Putting "Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer" in the kitchen in 2022 does not look good!

I can't help but feel like they're adding this at this particular point since Stable Diffusion has announced they're releasing their 'inpainting' model next week.

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.

How long until we can run this over shows like Star Trek Voyager/DS9 and Seinfeld to achieve believable 16:9 scenes?

I came to say something similar. It feels like “OpenAI” was just a trademark grab to prevent others from using it. Of course, all conspiracy theories work well when looking backward in time.
