DALL-E is still highly probabilistic in its judgement. For instance, in this article, it keeps putting "fire" in the the background on something that is likely to be on fire, rather than lighting up the person. I have a similar experience. In my own experiment, I can't get DALL-E to turn off the street lamp at a bus stop in the darkness. I've tried "no light", "broken street lamp", etc.; no use. Any mention of "stree…

I have experienced violent or harmful settings to be avoided by DALL-E. E.g. setting a person on fire. Same with drowning - seems to be impossible/hard to generate

Violent images likely have not been part of the training data for obvious reasons.

An upvote for whoever can give me a prompt to generate an image of someone who's been massaged so much their body has been flattened, as if they were made of dough or jelly or something. I spent ages on this earlier getting nowhere. I'm starting to think DALL-E is better if you don't really know what you want and you're just fishing for ideas.

Ok you owe me $3! This is a really hard prompt, and only got close-ish with inpainting. Got the base figure with "massaged relaxed flattened person, flat, flat, flat, flat, claymation", then finally got it to add a not-too-terrifying face with "photograph of smiling white woman laying on the ground, promotional photography". Final tweaks to erase some artifacts (it really didn't want to believe the figure on the left…

Ha ha that's much closer than I got, well done! Yeah it's difficult. I didn't think of flat, flat, flat.

Have anyone given a prompt to Dall-e of designing a company website and included “make it pop!”? Maybe the AI will finally get what designers always complained about annoying clients.

This isn't really how DALLE works AFAIK but a very fun idea nonetheless. Here's a quick more simplified experiment than the great work above: "website design mockup.", with and without "Make it pop!"

Worth noting that DALL-E automatically “rejects attempts to create the likeness of any public figures, including celebrities". So, you wouldn't be able to get an image that included the 4 Liverpudlians. It does allow you to create fake faces. Might be fun to try and recreate Miles Davis Tutu, Aladdin Sane, Piano Man.

> an image of someone who's been massaged so much their body has been flattened, as if they were made of dough or jelly do you want a realistic looking one? 3d rendered? what do you have in mind exactly?

Anything really. I tried cartoons, digital art, watercolours, pixar style. None worked.

Clearly it will have trouble making Rene Magritte paintings along those lines, too :)

My experience was that if you name a celebrity (and the request isn't blocked) it quite often generated something that has the same general vibe of the target, while also looking entirely unlike them.

It reminds me of how TV shows often have a president that resembles the current president in superficial ways, while being distinct enough that they won't get sued.

I'd be interested to know why this happens.

Man, after seeing Stable Diffusion's output, DALL-E's looks just janky. Like watching a propeller plane after seeing a jet. Crazy how fast the tech is moving.

DALL-E is capable of very high quality photorealistic images with the right prompts.

Here's one I made: https://imgur.com/yAzKkHb

“High detail, macro portrait photo, a handsome Australian man with a strong jaw line, blue eyes and brown hair, smiles at the camera, set in an outdoor pub at golden hour, shot using a ZEISS Supreme Prime lens”
