Feels like a race to the bottom. More features, lower cost, every week. No idea where it’ll level out, but I like it. Just bought some more Dalle credits today because it’s so much fun. This is a revolution in ‘art technology’ it’s like Steve Job’s bicycle for the mind. Best I could do a month ago was a stick figure in MS Paint, but now..

similar work using Stable Diffusion in a Photoshop plugin: https://old.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/wyduk1/sho...

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.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving group of people. Good riddance. Squatting the name "open" and trying to reap the benefits therein while being anything but.

This is just nonsense. I pay (a small amount) for both. They have different strengths and it’s fun to compare. Adding new features to a product is not a sign of panic, it’s just normal.

Stable Diffusion is arguably better, has more features, and is free. OpenAI can't compete with free.

Even if you don't want to take the 30 seconds to set it up in a free Google Colab environment, the paid DreamStudio version is still half the price of Dalle.

> and falling on their own sword

That's not what that means.

Also per the email release, variations/inpainting, the trick used to simulate outpainting before this, now generates 4 images like a normal DALL-E generation instead of 3 (which was arbitrary anyways).

I do wonder how expensive the outpainting is. I'm assuming that each additional step in the timelapse is a full generation, in which case ~15 generations is about $1 total.

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 additio…

Maybe kludge it with a dithered transparency mask?

What benefits? The parent is non-profit.

I'd argue they're imperfect, but they don't look like arses. Big gap between the two, too.

I have been working on an outpainting piece (in Photoshop) currently 10609 x 8144. I am very pleased to see more support for this, though hoping it doesn't kill my current flow.

Seems like it is currently not working on their site.
