Hey, author here, happy to answer any questions!
The logo was created for OctoSQL[0] and in the article you can find a lot of sample phrase-image combinations, as it describes the whole path (generation, variation, editing) I went down. Let me know what you think!
And btw. if you get access take a look at [1] before you start using it. A ton of useful bits and pieces for your phrases.
TLDR: DALL·E 2 is really cool, though takes quite a bit of work to arrive at a useful picture. Moreover, some types of images work better than others ("pencil sketch" is consistently awesome). As with programming, it's difficult to realize how much pieces you have to specify if you're not an artist - you don't know what you don't know.

- egypturnash 4y agoHow much did the credits for all this image generation cost you? edit: found it in the article: "From a monetary perspective, I’ve spent 30 bucks for the whole thing (in the end I was generating 2-3 edits/variations per minute). In other words, not too much."
- minimaxir 4y agoI've spent $30 for my own DALL-E 2 experiments, and that's with the bonus credits they gave for early adopters. It gets expensive fast.

- rockbruno 4y agoI also tried to make it generate an icon for a product and I managed to get it to show me interesting things, but never got to make it actually draw it as one. Do you remember which prompt resulted in this macOS-ish app shape? https://jacobmartins.com/images/dalle2/DALL%C2%B7E%202022-08-02%2016.43.16.jpg https://jacobmartins.com/images/dalle2/DALL%C2%B7E%202022-08...
- cube2222 4y agoHey! I didn't prompt anything specifically, it came after a line of variations from a definitely-not-icon-looking picture. Though I'd try tags like "iOS icon".
- aargh_aargh 4y agoHi cube2222, thanks for the writeup. I looked at your other blog posts and I would like to read more about octosql (needs/specification, architecture, development strategies, challenges, DBMS protocols/interfaces/libraries). And thank you for adding outer joins after I recently mentioned that they are missing!
- cube2222 4y agoHey! There is no technical documentation available right now other than the readme. I'm planning to write it around September-December (together with a website for them). You can share your email at jakub dot wit dot martin at gmail and I'll let you know when it's available.
