Key Features

Advanced Generative Capabilities: Generate coherent and appealing images from text
Inpainting: Edit specific parts of an image with AI
Outpainting: Extend an image beyond its original borders

Advanced Generative Capabilities

DALL·E utilizes a transformer architecture to process text prompts and generate images. It employs diffusion processing to refine the generated images, ensuring they are coherent and visually appealing. DALL·E is trained on vast amounts of text-image pairs to learn associations between words and visual elements.

See the following generation examples from OpenAI:

Text prompt	Image
A photorealistic image of an astronaut riding a horse
an armchair in the shape of an avocado…
a store front that has the word ‘openai’ written on it…

Inpainting

The newer versions of DALL·E offers an inpainting feature that allows users to edit specific parts of an image by filling in missing or undesired areas. This can be used to correct errors, remove unwanted elements, or make precise alterations within an image.

See the following generation examples from OpenAI:

Outpainting

The outpainting feature of DALL·E enables users to extend an image beyond its original borders. This allows for "image uncropping", or the creation of larger scenes or the addition of new elements that blend seamlessly with the existing image.

Easy to use, great results for short videos

I’ve been using Pollo AI mainly for short videos and quick image-to-video tests. The interface is straightforward and it works well even with simple prompts, which is a big plus compared to tools that need long, complicated instructions. The results can be really impressive, and it’s honestly been fun to experiment with. I’d love a bit more consistency on faces when there’s movement, but overall it’s been a solid experience for what I needed.

Awesome website

Awesome website. loads of options and a great way to learn how to work with 'AI' my reasoning for 5 stars is based upon price, versatility and ease of use. Also I would like to add, Pollo AI runs a lot of promos on different AI products as well. I rate their customer service at 5 stars, when I purchased my first subscription my computer crashed the following weekend and I lost all my data and info passwords you name it I lost it, contacted pollo by email they responded quickly and found my info/username and account, and I was able to restore my account.

I have been using Pollo AI for short videos. It is easy to use and works well with simple prompts. Other generators seem to need long drawn out complicated explanations to get even close to what I want.

Early impressions of @OpenAI's DALL-E 2. 🧵

All images below were produced by AI, with me feeding it the quoted prompt. I was most curious about how helpful such a tool might be in creative work.

💭 @Merzmensch on working with DALL-E 1 in 2021 and his prompt: "Mona Lisa is drinking wine with da Vinci."

"I tried it, expecting just another de-auratised Mona Lisa replica (as Walter Benjamin would have expected). But what DALL-E 1 created with this semi-ironic request… pic.twitter.com/i4CGZupGoF

DALL-E's strengths and weaknesses: While DALL-E ranked first in 38% of human evaluations, it showed a significant weakness in human-perceived photorealism (58.3%).

A Thread: Dall-E or not Dall-E. Is it easy to spot an AI generated image? Some of these images have been generated using #dalle2 and the others are from published photography collections. What do you think. 1/? pic.twitter.com/6buV5rNnOR

OpenAI has decided today that it’s safe for us to start sharing images containing realistic faces. DALL-E2 is actually excellent at faces.

From here on, this feed will largely be machine dreams of people that never existed.

Huh.

This is a genuine actual output from GPT-4's DALL-E plugin. This is the first time I've seen an image generator quite this pixel-perfect just straight up copy something from its training set. pic.twitter.com/aYIG4md9en

From DALL·E to Stable Diffusion: how did generative AI models came to be?

There's a massive leap from early 2021 DALL·E to today's generative models: take a peek at how they work for generating images and what these four models are all about! https://t.co/vKa5kw1wrU

The DALL·E image generator can produce spectacular visuals, but really stumbles over text. As a result, the tourism posters it comes up with are extremely good. Visit scenic Colado! #dalle pic.twitter.com/419Lv9eJ1E

DALL-E 2 had the best aesthetic of any image model and it's time to bring it back
