Not sure if GP had this in mind, but SD is (more) free in terms of liberty. So yes, you pay with electricity and hardware, but you control the process yourself, which is invaluable. DALL-E could change or go offline at any time.
- skybrian 4y agoConsidering the threat from DALL-E going offline, it seems quite acceptable. These aren't precious photos since it's all made up anyway, you can download any pictures you make, and you probably already did for the ones you care about. I'd worry more about, say, keeping your photos on Google and losing your account somehow.
- Miraste 4y agoIt's not only the threat of going offline. DALL-E makes it extremely difficult to generate many ideas because of its absurd content blocker - for example, I had something like "ominous, foreboding landscape beneath a black sun" blocked because (from what I could tell) it has words with negative connotations and the word "black" in the same sentence. It does this all the time, their discord is full of examples.
- skybrian 4y agoYeah, if you run into those then you'll want to use something else. (I haven't in my casual usage.)
