I am amazed by level of comprehension that DALL-E shows. At first glance the results also look amazing. Zoomed in though it turns into the stuff of nightmares. Quite literally actually. I am an enthusiastic practicionor of lucid dreaming and this stuff really feels similar to what I see when I closly observe details in lucid dreams. Ostensibly everything looks real but this reality falls apart when actually observed.

I too noticed how "dream-like" it is. Like it seems to have similar capabilities and limitations to how my brain renders things in dreams... they look fine at a glance but if you focus on details things get weird.

I would love to see what comes out with certain aspects of the prompts negated. - "lemon gelato that’s been shaped to look like a heart, on a handmade waffle cone being held up to the camera in a cobblestone courtyard somewhere in italy" ... what about "somewhere not in italy"? - "Diorama made of clay of a group of computer programmers looking disapprovingly at their CMO who has just given them diet pepsi instead of…

Ok, here are some results: 1: "not in italy": https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmWPbZnZL7mHazzMmGxx6wQjcbC2DdKtgpiYYUY... 2: "looking approvingly": https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmNgD9niZy1n4KWSXS3HEFeZm2qxQ2SzESfA6z7... 3: "everyone is unhappy": https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmcTktpFQGeGDAp7e3MwEPwwFMVMbDaEgW6PuSA... I think getting good Dall-E results wil end up being an "art" in its own. Dall-E is like a broad brush and honestly I've never bee…

It's interesting that the gelato's colour seems to have become the wall colour as well. What happens if you ask for strawberry gelato, or lime?

FYI, openai has eased the rule on realistic face generation. Now you can generate and publish Photorealistic faces. They will internally filter those to make sure they don't match famous faces.

So the famous faces everyone can easily find online anyway: those need protection. Gotcha.

I assume it's more so you can't do something like "Hilary Clinton stabs a child in a dark basement caught on webcam" and then pass it off as fake news somewhere.

Looks like a big weakness of DALL-E 2 is mixing up the properties of every object and of the background/setting.

Like what? I went back and looked at all of them closely again. Maybe the only weird thing is the mummies faces. Other than that it really is stellar. I mean just look at the detail on the “shaped like a heart” ice cream scoop, or the paper mache Godzilla.

Look closely at the cone, fingers, or the people behind the ice cream.

Or the food in the last one.

The detail breaks down.

The ash above Mt Rainier looks more like mountains.
