No those are clearly Kermit the Frogs

  If I hadn't been prompted with the words Kermit, no way would I have guessed that they were supposed to be Kermit. For example, Kermit has a characteristic shape of his pupils. None of the examples have that.

  Instead of arguing about "what is" in re: subjective judgements, it can sometimes be useful to phrase things more literally, as in: "To me those are clearly Kermit the Frogs." "To me those are clearly not Kermit the Frogs." Then there's nothing really to argue about. Instead we can discuss what we see and how that affects our subjective perceptions. For example, Kermit the Frog doesn't have eyelids, but most of these images show a frog with eyelids.

Some of them look a lot like Kermit! But many do not, depending on how far away the target aesthetic is from "muppet." A smarter Dalle2 could do a better job at preserving the "essential Kermit-ness" perhaps. But maybe it's more impressive to adapt to a completely new aesthetic?

That's actually one of the more interesting and impressive things: the AI has substituted in "humanoid frog" and in some cases given it movie-appropriate features like Matrix sunglasses ot Pixar-style eyes which are probably unique to the image rather than simply pasting photographs of the original muppet into movie poster settings which would be an acceptable lower level response to the brief.

Seems like it adapted Kermit's features to fit with the world of the movie, as if he was actually a character from that movie. I don't have access to DALL-E 2, but I wonder if a prompt like "A cameo from Kermit the Frog in ..." would give more literal Kermits.
