It’s time to dilly, DALL-E

You might have heard of 'Portrait of Edmond de Belamy' (2018), the very first work of art created using generative adversarial networks by Paris-based arts-collective Obvious. The name Belamy is a tribute to the father of GANs, Ian Goodfellow. In French, 'bel ami' means 'good friend,' aka 'Goodfellow,' and the inspiration behind our very own newsletter –?The Belamy!??

Since then, machines are becoming more and more artistic and creative. Lately, you might have encountered bizarre images circulating on the internet like an astronaut riding a horse in space, teddy bears mixing sparkling chemicals as mad scientists, a bowl of soup that is a portal to another dimension, and whatnot??

Ironically, these images were not created by any human illustrator. Instead, it was generated by OpenAI's?DALL-E 2, a new AI system that turns text commands into realistic images and art. The outcomes are surreal and too good to be true.

A year ago, OpenAI released its text-to-image generation model based on transformer architecture –?DALL-E. The name of this model was inspired by surrealist Salvador Dali, and the robot from Walt Disney movie Wall-E.?

Compared to the previous model, DALL-E 2 generates more realistic and accurate images with 4x greater resolution. Check out everything you need to know about DALL-E?here. You can also register to try out DALL-E 2?here.?

While some of you are still on the waiting list to experiment with DALL-E 2, here are some of the alternatives you should know. Click?here?to view the list.?

Despite the advancements in how AI can generate realistic images and art, there are a few drawbacks like counting, compositionality, etc., as?highlighted?by senior tech writer?Rachel Metz?in a Twitter post.?
