I'm not really sure I know how to use these tools. I tried the following prompt: "elon musk giving donald trump a massage using pizza sauce instead of oil, in a majestic room filled with flowers and golden toilets" ...and the result was a crappy AI-generated picture of not-quite donald trump holding a terrible rendering of a pizza, and some hands sticking out of random places. There were some red flowers in the picture at least. I realize this isn't a "serious" use case, but clearly the tech isn't doing what I'm hoping it does. I tried "coffee beans with cartoon mouths" and it's just a picture of some coffee beans. I don't get it.

yeah i'm getting the same. pick something much simpler like: "A cup on a plate". And then replace cup for other objects. It generates nonsense pretty quickly. It seems most able to generate stuff close to something which already exists in a complete form. Sort of a pastiche machine.

"some hands sticking out of random places" That's the absense of reason sticking out: the "ai" mimics, but doesnt understand, so its creations are frankenstein-like bodies, almost human and for this reason more revulsing. So this "ai" represents an insane painter.

It's only good at prompts that ask it to do a non-photorealistic artistic style. All the photorealistic attempts are bad.

I've seen hundreds, if not thousands of photorealistic result that range from acceptable to remarkably good.

    I misspoke. I meant to say photorealistic faces. I haven't seen a good one yet from DALL-E 2 or Stable Diffusion. The systems that are custom built just for faces do a good job at photorealistic faces, though.

      They are bad because they explicitly filtered out faces from the training data.

See my other comment. > [...] It takes a while to get a feel for what prompts work and how to phrase things. I suggest browsing https://lexica.art/ https://lexica.art/ and using some prompts from there as a template.
