My First Impressions of DALL·E from OpenAI
The powerful text-based generator can create images in almost any style imaginable
I’ve been playing around with AI image generators for a little while now. My first foray into this artificially generated world was Deep Dream Generator, which uses existing images to create something unique.
While I thought that was cool, my mind has officially been blown with DALL·E from OpenAI, which only requires a text description to generate a picture.
I had heard some rumblings about DALL·E, and had seen some impressive samples, but I was still skeptical. Artwork created from just a few words? Sure. Whatever. So I joined the waitlist for DALL·E on August 21, and was accepted into the platform on August 28. I thought the wait would be longer, but I’m definitely not complaining.
I jumped right into it and started creating. My first image was based on a photo I had taken the day before of two random balloons. I had imagined a female model holding the balloons in the middle of the street. So I typed this descriptor into DALL·E:
impressionist painting of a beautiful woman with long black hair holding two balloons one is blue and one is green in each hand in the middle of a city.
