By the way, does anyone have a sense on how long is the wait list for DALLE2? I got into the wait-list at the end of April and am still there.. midjourney is amazing (even subscribed) but I want more variety in my AI art :)

I signed up last week and was given access in a day

I've been exploring a related concept in a Telegram game. The player can basically create a choose your own adventure-type world by describing a set of interlocking scenes and the segues (buttons/commands) between them. I'm using Disco Diffusion for the rendering instead of Dall-e 2 but the limitations are similar. It can be frustrating to get consistent results or impose the kind of order on them that is required to…

For consistency across generations you'll need something like https://arxiv.org/abs/2208.01618 to carry the concepts across, hopefully nvidia releases the source code soon, or someone that understands the internals of latent diffusion better can implement an open source version.

I love article titles and my imagination as I thought someone made an actual clicking game with on the fly generated content through DALL E :)

Makes me ponder what kind of video games an _advanced_ AI could create on the fly. People talk about the impact of DALL E on art, but what if it goes _further_? How complex of an RPG world could an AI build around a player? To the naysayers; decades ago it was impossible for a computer to display images like the ones DALL E makes. For a good chunk of computer history even holding these image bytes in memory would hav…

There would be all kinds of repeated actions, obtaining counter-intuitive objects to get past obscure guards in a way that doesn't quite make sense.

I know this because our best (not sarcasm) humans have done the same thing for years.

It looks like AI generated art will be a huge boon for the indie games. Midjourney can definitely lower concept art costs by 5% to 20% as it stands. Nevertheless, AI generated art currently can’t fully eliminate real concept artists.

the obvious disconnect to me has been that we compare DALLE and midjourney results to what we human-generated art used to look like on earlier Unreal Engine. This is what human generated art looks like now:

As a (now casual) game developer, this is absolutely fantastic.

I've never touched the realm of adventure games simply because I lack the skills and I don't have any contacts that are interested to work for free...

Having these type of systems on a dime to generate ideas, narrative and contents is a game changer.

It won't however change the fact that releasing games is part of a big machinery of algorithms - of the 25-35 steam games released every day; meaning: mostly no-one will see or play yours... Indie games are nowadays released like throwing a pebble in the river... See ya... Unless you push a ton of cash in advertising and get a publisher but by that point you'll hate making games anyway...

I thought the waitlist was over. I didn't even join the waitlist and was given access a few weeks ago. (I already have/had an active paid OpenAI account.)

Well, as TFA and the comment you replied to point out, the bar for AI-generated art isn't to compete with top-tier human talent. There are many other use-cases.

Seems like you meant to reply to a comment that claimed otherwise.

Got my access 2 days ago, after ~3 weeks wait. They are probably prioritizing based on business case too, i.e. potential $ > developpers > personnal use.
