Interesting. Considering this is now a paid product, is modifying user input covered by their ToS? If I was spending a lot of money on it I'd be rather annoyed

- bhaney 4y agoThis produces dramatically worse results in my experience.
- minimaxir 4y agoNot worse, but different. It depends on the prompt but DALL-E mini/mega seems to do better then DALL-E 2 for certain types of absurd prompts, such as the ones in /r/weirddalle
- causi 4y agoYes, there are very sharp lines where it does and doesn't understand. It understands color and gender but not materials. I got very good outputs for "blue female Master Chief" but "starship enterprise made out of candy" was complete garbage.
- elcomet 4y agoDefinitely worse-quality. Maybe more diverse for some prompts yeah.
- kuprel 4y agoThis one is faster, I ported it https://replicate.com/kuprel/min-dalle https://replicate.com/kuprel/min-dalle
- minimaxir 4y agoAdditionally, it's also open-sourced on GitHub and can be self-hosted, with easy instructions to do so: https://github.com/kuprel/min-dalle https://github.com/kuprel/min-dalle
- MrBra 4y agoI can run DALL-E mini with the MEGA model with 12 GB of VRAM. What are the requirements for minDALL-E and MEGA, in terms of VRAM?
- practice9 4y agoThankfully it doesn't introduce any researcher bias, doesn't ban people from using it on the basis of country, doesn't use your personal data like phone number... And the best of all - it does have a meme community around it, and you can always donate if you feel it adds value to your life
- scott_s 4y ago[shudder] I tried the first whimsical, benign thing I could think of: "indiana jones eating spaghetti." The results are clearly recognizable as that. But they are also a kaleidoscope of body horror; a Indiana Jones monster melted into Cthulu forms inhaling plates that are slightly not spaghetti.
- tptacek 4y agoYour input isn't being polluted by this any more than it is when the tokens in it are ground up into vectors and transformed mathematically. You just have an easier time understanding this transformation.
- throwuxiytayq 4y agoObviously, it's polluted. Undisputably. In a mathematical sense, an extra (black box) transformation is performed on the input to the model. In a practical sense (eg. if you're researching the model), this is like having dirty laboratory tools - all measurements are slightly off. The presumption by OpenAI is that the measurements are off in the correct way. I'm interested in using Dall-E commercially, but I think some competitor offering sampling with raw input will have a better chance at my wallet.
- tptacek 4y agoIt's a fucking AI picture generator. The whole thing is a series of (literally) inscrutable black boxes. This is not a good argument.
- throwuxiytayq 4y agoYeah man, but literally the entire point of this AI picture generator is that it's, like, super accurate at rendering the prompt, and stuff. I don't understand the relevance of the black box's scrutability - I just want to play with the black box. I am interested in increasing my understanding of the black box, not of a trust-me-it's-great-our-intern-steve-made-it black box derivative.
- tptacek 4y agoYou should make your own black boxes then. By all means, send your dollars to whatever service passes your purity test; I'm just saying that the idea that DALL-E is "polluting" your input is risible. It's already polluting your data at, like, a subatomic level, at dimensionalities it hadn't even occurred to you to consider, and at enormous scale.
- kingkawn 4y agoThe racist pollution came long before this product was a glimmer in our eye.
