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.

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.

1 What is on the pizza? is it a pizza at all?

2 whats up with bush and rocks in the middle of the street?

3 sculpture of a bird (beak) and a dolphin?

4 volcano erupting snow instead of smoke/lava?

5 what are those glasses?

6 actually pretty good as its an abstract object

7 teeth made out of meat

8 abstract = good?

9 bottom left oyster meat

10 grill grate geometry got really wonky

Every single picture looks very aesthetically pleasing, but gets reality wrong. Its all a very good content aware fill.

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.

Now that I think about it I have always had great trouble with reading text in my lucid dreams. Dalle is also bad at making comprehensible passages.

How long were you on the waiting list before you got access? I only signed up a week or two ago, so I assume I'm in for a long wait.

> How long were you on the waiting list before you got access? I only signed up a week or two ago, so I assume I'm in for a long wait. It's not based on duration, but rather multi-faceted criteria which it seemingly determines based on email association, social media, Linkedin, Geographical location etc... it's not quite clear how it's weighed but those are all things it asks you for when you resister for the Beta [0…

Well, that puts me to the back of the queue then. I don't do social media or LinkedIn
