I am amazed by level of comprehension that DALL-E shows. At first glance the results also look amazing. Zoomed in though it turns into the stuff of nightmares.

I am amazed by level of comprehension that DALL-E shows. At first glance the results also look amazing. Zoomed in though it turns into the stuff of nightmares. Quite literally actually. I am an enthusiastic practicionor of lucid dreaming and this stuff really feels similar to what I see when I closly observe details in lucid dreams. Ostensibly everything looks real but this reality falls apart when actually observed.

I too noticed how "dream-like" it is. Like it seems to have similar capabilities and limitations to how my brain renders things in dreams... they look fine at a glance but if you focus on details things get weird.

  Now that I think about it I have always had great trouble with reading text in my lucid dreams. Dalle is also bad at making comprehensible passages.

Like what? I went back and looked at all of them closely again. Maybe the only weird thing is the mummies faces. Other than that it really is stellar. I mean just look at the detail on the “shaped like a heart” ice cream scoop, or the paper mache Godzilla.

  Look closely at the cone, fingers, or the people behind the ice cream. Or the food in the last one. The detail breaks down. The ash above Mt Rainier looks more like mountains.

    The thumb in the cone pic looks odd. The food looks fine, so does the ash over the mountain.

  All the fingers in the pictures look rather off and also the left eye (edit: left in the picture) of the dog looked rather scary.

  1 What is on the pizza? is it a pizza at all? 2 whats up with bush and rocks in the middle of the street? 3 sculpture of a bird (beak) and a dolphin? 4 volcano erupting snow instead of smoke/lava? 5 what are those glasses? 6 actually pretty good as its an abstract object 7 teeth made out of meat 8 abstract = good? 9 bottom left oyster meat 10 grill grate geometry got really wonky Every single picture looks very aesthetically pleasing, but gets reality wrong. Its all a very good content aware fill.

To say the images fall apart is quite pedantic IMO. These images would easily pass as hyperrealist paintings. The content of the images also is quite tame if you can basically tell it anything.
