I find the images to be incredible, but it's very unsettling when you focus on certain details like hands, feet, and eyes. The hands and feet that it draws are almost always mangled, and while it does a good job of drawing an individual eye, it doesn't seem to draw two eyes in a well coordinated manner, either one eye is bigger than the other, or there is something weirdly unsymmetrical about the eyes that makes the image look creepy.


I have a great example of this:

"Jesus takes a selfie" - https://imgur.com/a/togE2ko

I'm pretty sure this snap was three days after the resurrection.


Something that truly amazes me, is how well Dall-e handles lighting. The lighting and shadowing is really good, comparable to a path tracer, except it isn't really doing the super expensive light simulation that a path tracer does.


The shadows of the turkeys in OPs post is what impressed me the most so far...


Pretty much the definition of uncanny valley.

I really, really REALLY don't like this fact and I won't be using or endorsing the technology until it's improved.

I also always hated the "deep dream" pictures of lovecraftian dog horrors


Just recently saw a three fingered spider-man created by DALL-E


I wonder if there’s a potential cottage industry of GANs that then fix up these details — one that knows exactly what a hand should look like and will fix up anything that looks like (or that you identify as) a hand


There are already ones to fix up faces, it'd be interesting to combine these things in a workflow. Dalle -> face detector -> user clicks -> stylegan3.


Online DALL-E generators often are deliberately prevented from producing good faces, because of the potential for abuse.


FYI, "ARC: FACE RESTORATION" is an AI that fixes distorted faces. It won't do miracles but it does a pretty good job when the face is just off a bit.

I suspect that overtime there will be many AIs that will target very specialized functions similar to ARC.
