OpenArt: “Pinterest” for Dalle-2 images and prompts
- cocokechun 4y agoYou can find tons of inspiration for Dalle-2 prompts. You can also post your own work to inspire others. Search functionality is coming soon.
- andy_xor_andrew 4y agothis is great. it's really helpful to see what impact certain keywords and phrases have on the output. would it be possible for the site to allow toggling between Dalle-2 and the recent Stable Diffusion model release? edit: I mean, letting you filter between images from Dalle-2 and Stable Diffusion, not actually running the same prompt through the models, which this site obviously does not do given that the latter has weights available for download, and apparently fits in a consumer GPU, there might soon be more demand for that than for Dalle-2...
- cocokechun 4y agoThis is such a brilliant idea! Most of the images on https://openart.ai/ https://openart.ai/ are from Dalle-2, but we will definitely add Stable Diffusion images thanks to your advice. Thanks! Any other feedback or suggestions? :)
- wassgha 4y agothis is fantastic! maybe add upvotes?
- cocokechun 4y ago+1. More upvotes please :)
- zidianlyu 4y agoOh, Wassim!! Yes!

I read the GP as asking for an upvote feature on the site, rather than asking for upvotes here on HN.
- wkyi 4y agoThis is awesome! Can't wait to discover and interact with other designers and builders in the community!
- cocokechun 4y agoThanks! :) Please help share.
- nyn531 4y agoLove the idea. Dalle-2 is truly amazing!
- cocokechun 4y agoTotally agree!
- akozak 4y agoI had this exact idea, so glad it exists :) Adding model provenance would be a good idea so you can support multiple. I was wondering if DALLE 2 embeds any metadata in the images but haven't had a chance to investigate. I also think you should consider adding the option to clarify copyright status ... in particular, allow users to dedicate the image to the public domain via CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/ https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc...), or maybe put it under a CC BY license. May be debatable what the legal status of the images is, but a CC0 dedication would at least get rid of any ambiguity.
- cocokechun 4y agoThanks for your thoughtful comment, akozak! Great idea to add model provenance. I'm not sure if Dalle-2 embeds any metadata, but openAI also has this CLIP model https://openai.com/blog/clip/ https://openai.com/blog/clip/ that lets you get embeddings. So we will be using this for our search functionality. It works amazingly well. Stay tuned for the search functionality. It is super powerful for prompt engineering. Thanks for pointing out the copyright status. Most of the images in Discover are crawled on the web, and you can see all the sources under each image. However for the images that people post on our platform, we should definitely add the clarification for copyright status.
- akozak 4y agoFor more context about my 'metadata' comment, there is the PNG metadata (should be easy to check) but there is also the watermark in the bottom right. Here is a reddit thread (one of many) investigating the watermark, seems to conclude its innocuous: https://www.reddit.com/r/dalle2/comments/uaq7bf/discovery_dalle_2_watermarks_contain_pixels_that/ https://www.reddit.com/r/dalle2/comments/uaq7bf/discovery_da...
- cocokechun 4y agoAh got it! Thanks for sharing the reddit thread. Very helpful :)

- Henry_Du 4y agoIt's cool!
- cocokechun 4y agoThanks!
- userbinator 4y ago"Pinterest" - as in, it will start clogging search results with AI-generated pseudoimages?
- cocokechun 4y agoAs in help people get inspired how to write their prompts just like how people get inspired by home decor ideas on Pinterest :)
- naillo 4y agoThis is such a silly argument. People have been drawing and photoshopping non real depictions of lion elephant hybrids or whatever else for ages. It's already "clogged".
- Klonoar 4y agoIs there no "about" page here or anything? If there's a footer, you can't reach it due to the infinite scroll...
- cocokechun 4y agoGood point! We will add the "about" page. Thanks for the suggestion!
- nbzso 4y agoIs there someone in the illustrator community who is not excited about this meaningful technology? So cool. You don't have a job anymore. As a start, you will get less money. Why I have to pay you when GPT 3 can generate prompts for DALL-E? Send your congratulations to the geniuses which in search of validation and budget optimization are bringing this revolution ahead. This thing proved for me that the UI design and design in general are the next target. I have transitioned to pure frontend development, and I am cool for the next three to six years. After this who knows. On the artistic end. No more digital painting for me. I will use only analogue mediums, may be someone will pay for a human made picture on the wall....who knows.
- cocokechun 4y agoTotally hear your concerns! There's this article "I Went Viral in the Bad Way" from a write from The Atlantic - https://newsletters.theatlantic.com/galaxy-brain/62fc502abcbd490021afea1e/twitter-viral-outrage-ai-art/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email https://newsletters.theatlantic.com/galaxy-brain/62fc502abcb.... He got criticized so hard for using an AI-generated in his newsletter instead of paying an artist to do the work. People's concerns are valid and real. Yet, we can also imagine a future that "lower-level" artistic work can be achieved by AI, like blog article thumbnails, while higher-level artistic work will be done by artists, assisted by AI. Artists can get inspiration from AI artwork and reduce some tedious parts of their workflow.
- cocokechun 4y agoWe hope https://openart.ai https://openart.ai can be used by both Dalle-2 enthusiasts as well as artists to draw inspiration for amazing artwork.
- nbzso 4y agoSorry, whichever way you flip this, Inspiration is used again and again to hide the real intent of this technology: To remove artistic contribution from the corporate expenses list. Period. And this is just the beginning. Illustrators are the low-hanging fruit, they have no unions to protect them, they were undervalued for ages even before the digital age. Human made digital art will be competing with synthesis and generative processes for minimum pay, the regular Joe will have no doubt that the AI "Art" is better. The main problem with this tech is that I have no clear answer of the question: Who benefits from this "advancement"? Artists? Or corporations? To become a good artist, I have spent all my life practicing from anatomy through composition and color theory. Can you imagine the stupidity of my choice? Any schmuck with a computer and prompt collection will be a master of Arts soon. The war between Hollywood and Silicon Valley has reached the new high. The "geniuses" which scraped all the stock websites and created this monstrosity, in my view, must be named "The Spirit Crushers" from now on. But hey, it is too late. The genie is out of the bottle. So who is next? I stopped my successful art career years ago over different reasons. But now I see my choice in a different light.
- GaggiX 4y agohttps://lexica.art/ https://lexica.art/ A similar website but with Stable Diffusion generations instead of Dalle 2.
- webmaven 4y agoHow does one get their images and prompts indexed?
- cocokechun 4y agoYou can log in and publish a post, then it will show up in the Community tab :) Give it a try! In the future it will also be seen under the Discovery tab and be searchable.
- webmaven 4y ago> You can log in and publish a post, then it will show up in the Community tab :) Give it a try! I don't think your comment applies to lexica.art
- cocokechun 4y agoAlso, this platform is relatively primitive right now, more features to come, like comments, follow and so on!
- GaggiX 4y agoThe site only scrapes images from the Discord server
- Samin100 4y agoI’ve used both DALL-E and stable diffusion extensively, and in my experience DALL-E is more forgiving while stable diffusion is more powerful — with a much higher skill ceiling for writing prompts. Also, stable diffusion’s open source weights are great for self-hosting which can’t be done with DALL-E.

- kadokaelan 4y agoThis is a great idea. We are clearly on the cusp of something with AI and art. This will be a great supporting application to push it forward.
- cocokechun 4y agoTotally agree! We hope openArt will be part of this huge revolution.
- marcodiego 4y agoThis one impresses me: https://openai-labs-public-images-prod.azureedge.net/user-BA50bx0XiCVvL4w5sslrPZrQ/generations/generation-5VyWsYuIAEpsCcBFTGfoxloO/image.webp https://openai-labs-public-images-prod.azureedge.net/user-BA... The shadow of the hand is correct.
- cocokechun 4y agowow indeed!
- cocokechun 4y agoDid you find this on openart.ai?
- scottmf 4y agoAm I missing something?
- npteljes 4y ago>The shadow of the hand is correct. That must mean that the AI copied both the hand and the hand's shadow from the original.
- pjonesdotca 4y agoIt doesn't "copy". These are not collages patched together from different original images.
- npteljes 4y agoI very much doubt this. One of the clues is the reproduction of artifacts that have nothing to do with the original prompt - for example the Getty images logo. In this case, I think that the hand and its shadow are both part of a single original artwork. If they weren't, there would be two other explanations I could see: one, that the AI understands lighting and 3d somewhat, and applied the shadow accordingly, or two, that there are many such images that have a hand a shadow in a similar place, and therefore the AI has it as an association of sorts. I find both of these explanations less likely than the original theory, which would be that the hand and the shadow are part of a single original work that was, even if not copied verbatim, then used as unmistakable influence for the result.
- dukeofdoom 4y agoI use midjourney, but can't get into Dalle-2. To my eyes it looks like it generates images in the uncanny valley territory, too real to be unreal.
- cocokechun 4y agoMidjourney is great. We are going to add midjourney images soon too. Stay tuned!
- discordance 4y agoAnyone know what the numbers are after the text? e.g. "a Tim Burton style drawing of Saul Goodman | 756" I'm guessing it refers to a style and I'm curious if there's an index for the different styles.
- qiaoshun8888 4y agoIt's the verification code from a discord server to verify you have the access to DALL-E. https://discord.gg/openaidalle https://discord.gg/openaidalle
- DeepYogurt 4y agoI wonder what their conversion rate is.
- KaoruAoiShiho 4y agoHas anybody seriously compared Dalle2 with Midjourney? I know that midjourney is a relative no-name but personal testing with the same prompts give me better results (matches expectations) on midjourney.
- cocokechun 4y agoThis article did a pretty thorough analysis on comparison on Midjourney and Dalle2 - https://dallery.gallery/midjourney-guide-ai-art-explained/ https://dallery.gallery/midjourney-guide-ai-art-explained/. A quick summary: Midjourney’s images are usually more aesthetically pleasing than DALL·E, and the model is still adaptable and responsive to stylistic prompts. That makes it a great tool if you want to generate a lot of pleasant images quickly. Dalle-2 is capable of delivering a wider range of visual styles. As a result, you’re much more likely to craft a surprising or amusing result, or create a never-before-seen image. It’s less likely the image will seem ‘AI-like’. You can also feel more confident that other users haven’t generated very similar images.
- andrewstuart 4y agoIf this let me search for "spaceship", "castle", "map", or "dungeon" then I would have been extremely happy. As an aside, has anyone seen any AI generated boardgame boards?

- fragmede 4y agohttps://watabou.itch.io/village-generator https://watabou.itch.io/village-generator is lovely, though I don't know the backend specifics.
- cocokechun 4y agoWe are adding the search functionality. It will be there within 1-2 weeks :) Stay tuned! Thanks for the suggestion.

- NoMoreBro 4y agoVery nice! If you like to explore prompts there is this one too https://dalle2.gallery https://dalle2.gallery
- irrational 4y agoI wonder how it interprets something like “two lesbians”. There isn’t necessarily anything a picture of might show to indicate that two women are lesbians, unless something intimate is happening. So, I wonder how the program interprets that. Does it just replace lesbian with woman, or is there actually something to indicate that a woman is a lesbian that we might not notice (gaydar?) but a program that has looked at billions of photos has noticed? Does it know us better than we know ourselves?
- fancymcpoopoo 4y agocan you add the trainer images that were used so the original artist gets credit?
- cainxinth 4y agoBeautiful examples... but does anyone else dislike infinite scrolling websites? It feels like a dark pattern intended to maximize time spent on the site.
- pohl 4y agoSo much comes from the structure of the prompt. I've played a lot with dalle-mini, because that's all I had access to, and it's interesting to take prompts from this page (OpenArt) and try them over in dalle-mini. For example, just paste this (From an OpenArt example): "A young girl with long wavy black hair is riding a motocycle, she is riding through sunset, she has long black boots. Perspective is from back. Pixel art." The results, in dalle-mini, are so much better than anything I've ever gotten out of it. And, then, try variation on the theme: "A young boy with short blonde hair is playing a stratocaster, he is playing in front of a garden stream, he is wearing blue jeans. Perspective is from front. Watercolor."
- ComputerCat 4y agoI love all of these!
- sebastianconcpt 4y agoBranding detail: The expression "OpenArt" sounds like a good fit for true art, as opposed to a form of synthetic visual production of visual arts mimicking art. In a way is hijacking the notion of arts out of humanity. Any philosophers around to help us with this?
- adammarples 4y agoFirst define "true art" and we'll start there
- sebastianconcpt 4y agoPrecisely, that's why we need a bit of help from philosophers and people that has deep historical knowledge of Art. From my naivety, if art started as a form of human expression, purely synthetically produced expressions are the antithesis of art. We can discuss what that is instead.
- qiaoshun8888 4y agoI think many people who aren't artists lack the skills to express their creativity and imagination, in a visual way like the artists do, and that's how this kind of AI tool can help with.
- sebastianconcpt 4y agoBut you're talking about high-cultural art thresholds, which is a valid topic but not the core of the concept. Any kid is an artist in a way, every caveman that painted its cave was an artist, you seducing your wife/girlfriend/significant other are doing art. Some silly memes are or aren't? That's why I repeat. We need a remix of technologists and philosopher's raising this discussion up.
- cocokechun 4y agoOpenArt means opening up all possibilities of art. We believe that AI and human together will do this together.
- sixQuarks 4y agoI'd like to chat with the founder of openart.ai about a possible opportunity. Can you provide me with your contact info?
- cocokechun 4y agoJoin our discord server and contact the admin. We'd love to hear the possible opportunity. Thanks!
