| for it first but it's a bit of a hassle to do so!

| when the act of exploration costs a few cents.
|
| This twitter thread[1] also has some good suggestions and an

| This is a bit off-topic, but stuff like this and copilot

| next. I would have thought something like art would have been one
| of the last things to be automated.
|
| I always thought CRUD work might be automated eventually, while I
| would have guessed that something like embedded/high-performance
| was pretty safe, but now I'm not so sure anymore...

| allows things such as adjusting the weight of each keyword or how
| "literal" the AI should take your prompt.

| I haven't got access to DALL-E 2, but I did give Midjourney
| (https://www.midjourney.com/) a go. I found it really cool it
| created images that somewhat resembled my prompt, but I still
| felt it was way off what I really wanted. Maybe I didn't word the
| prompt correctly, maybe I didn't give it enough tries. Either
| way, I feel like we'll eventually move away from generic prompts
| to something that'll look a lot like...programming, funnily
| enough.

| I really enjoy Midjourney for more abstract and vague vibe art.
| It's not as good at specific stuff (although Imagen/Parti are
| much better at it even than Dall-E too, which has its own
| shortcoming around text and numbers).
|
| My favorite is coming up with two word prompts, like "endless
| beginnings" or "stressful shapes" or "happy anxiety".

| Ah I see, thanks for the tips!

| petercooper wrote:
| Yes: https://www.midjourney.com/ .. I use it as well as

| live? Or at least all my videos and pictures with lossy
| compression? Can we all create our own art effortlessly, and
| resize it as we want? When will this reach 3D modelling and 3D
| printing?

| I've spent just over 1 week with DALL*E 2.
|
| Over the past 7 days I've generated ~1000 images, 150 of which
| were good enough to save. I only saved images which made me
| audibly gasp.
|
| Witnessing your own _novel idea spring to life_ is a magical
| experience. DALL*E provides an artistic tool on a comparable
| level to digital photography, and by extension Photoshop.
|
| At this stage it's 100% clear to me that DALL*E has heralded in a
| revolutionary new age of design. Every day I worked with it, I
| grew more confident in my outlook.
|
| It might not necessarily be an OpenAI product which truly
| "integrates" with humanity -- but DALL*E has shown me that it's
| possible... and just a matter of time.

| How long did it take for you to generate your images? I've been

| adzm wrote:
| The quality of results is drastically better than craiyon,

| DALL-E. Takes only a few seconds. Also has an editing mode

| variations.

| My average generation time for 4 images is around 4 - 8

| I've been using Midjourney [1] (it's not free, 25 photos

| for upscaling. I like the controls, it lets you do variations
| and tweak the image as you go.
|
| It's not as good for doing concrete asks, but it's very good
| for getting specific vibes.

| The website feed [1] requires Discord login to view examples,

| How so?
|
| It's a cool thing that creates cool things. How does "maybe

| DALL-E had a million things that had to be there first before

| today?
| CosmicShadow wrote:

| the high, success, cash and fame out of a lot of easy ideas
| by being the first to do them. Eventually it's just a tool
| and you find a harder and more obscure niche to fill with it,
| despite how magical it is or how it makes your life/work
| potentially easier.
