Some of the recent image-generating models have this thing where they can fill in the blank parts of images. It's handy when you want to show them exactly how to give you more of the same. Like these animal emoji. See if you can tell which ones I

One of the things I'm enjoying about text-to-image generators like DALL-E2 is how it has stuff about common brands in its training data, but it still manages to completely garble them [https://www.aiweirdness.com/ai-versus-your-corporate-logo/]. Please enjoy these DALL-E2 attempts at Halloween candy favorites. Prompt: "Product

Recently I've been experimenting with DALL-E 2, one of the models that uses CLIP to generate images from my text descriptions. It was trained on internet text and images, so there's a lot it can do, and a lot of ways it can remix the stuff

I recently started playing with DALL-E 2, which will attempt to generate an image to go with whatever text prompt you give it. Like its predecessor DALL-E, it uses CLIP, which OpenAI trained on a huge collection of internet images and nearby text. I've experimented with a few

What type of giraffe would you like today? Last week OpenAI published a blog post previewing DALL-E [https://openai.com/blog/dall-e/], a new neural network that they trained to generate pictures from text descriptions. I’ve written about past algorithms that have tried to make drawings to order [https:
