> like I'm not sure why kermit has a plastic texture in many of the pictures That might be the known bug with low-resolution textures: the DALL-E 2 paper notes that the details in very complex scenes can be bad, and thinks it's because you start with a 64px image which is necessarily bad for details (64px is really small!) and upscale with dumber models from there https://cdn.openai.com/papers/dall-e-2.pdf#page=17 https://cdn.openai.com/papers/dall-e-2.pdf#page=17 I think this explains the issues with images where the 'skin' or 'fur' looks really creepy (eg. all the semi-nude bears).
