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.

The thumb in the cone pic looks odd.

The food looks fine, so does the ash over the mountain.

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.

I had the weirdest reaction to that last sentence.

As an engineer, the first thing that went through my head was "lots of photos of their faces available, easy filter. My face specifically: hard filter"

But as a person it was "ok wow, f_ck you too then?"

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.

How would DALL-E 2 be more effective than plain old photoshop in that case?

Using Photoshop has a much higher skill barrier than typing a fake news headline.

I mean yeah but it just costs money to hire talent, only difference with DALLE is that its subsidized to be free

Something on this site tries to access my camera. I can hear it resetting when the page loads.

probably an analytics plug-in trying to fingerprint you, I remember i've had a lot of trouble with websites interrupting audio on my phone when there's not anything playing

I'm curious what kind of camera you have that makes a sound when accessed

On the Pinephone the rear camera homes the mobile into one end of the track when it's reset and makes a clicking sound.

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.

All the fingers in the pictures look rather off and also the left eye (edit: left in the picture) of the dog looked rather scary.

To say the images fall apart is quite pedantic IMO.

These images would easily pass as hyperrealist paintings.

The content of the images also is quite tame if you can basically tell it anything.
