Dall-e, to every artist, this AI is just amazing

Today, I chanced upon the glorified "bing" app and it's just spectacular! The app integrates dall-e to up your "search imagination." And by "search imagination," I mean you can search and practically find everything you imagine.

Today, I used Dall-e via bing to create some artistic imaginations. At first, I was curious to see what it would imagine so my initial prompts were short; that didn't quite cut it though. Here are some screenshots of my first prompts.

Although these visuals reflect the descriptions in the prompts, they do not accurately represent what I had imagined. Maybe these machines were not meant to imagine like us. After all, they are mechanical.

Do me a favor, close your eyes and imagine the descriptions of those prompts. Does your imagination really show what you see here? I bet not.

So what was the prompt here? This was - "two robots arguing in a grass lawn , Nairobi in the background and pukka tech corporation is in the frontground... safaricom and Tesla are the neighboring buildings .. Kenyan pedestrians nearby alongside self driving cars and futuristic streets"

Those Kenyan pedestrians don’t look human. No “Nairobi culture,” no Matatus, and certainly no company branding to be seen (we have to talk about this in detail — another post)

I kept playing around with Dall-E and eventually learned that I needed long prompts to help it capture my imagination. Check out the results.

Better? I’d say yes based on the mental vizualizations I had when creating. I think Dall-e is a real piece of work. The creators of this AI have studied our minds and finally discovered what it takes to create a mechanical thinking machine. It helps you — the artist — create but beware! It doesn’t know much yet. Don’t throw those pencils and tablets away.

The next big question is: how have Dall-e creators considered ethics in their code? Follow me because that is our next post. Ciao!
