Which one are you comparing against? I've tried hundreds of prompts between SD and DALL-E and get comparable results. Midjourney was lagging for a while, but the new --testp parameter is really remarkable, which, in my view, makes it superior not only to Stable Diffusion but also to DALL-E as well.

My experience is that with prompts that fit into OpenAI's limiting content policy DALL-E text2img results are usually much better. And I use SD like 95% of the time, so it's not the case that I would be more used to DALL-E.

  I need some examples because I don't really see it for the vast majority of usecases.

    Here I wanted to illustrate the game Waffle[0], first attempt with Dalle was pretty good, not true for SD: https://labs.openai.com/s/rCzJwauuiaIj1Pd3IyJGaHS3 https://labs.openai.com/s/rCzJwauuiaIj1Pd3IyJGaHS3 Here I wanted an illustration of a nuclear plant in a japanese landscape, first attempt with Dalle produced multiple good results. I tried SD and MJ (back when MJ didn't use SD) as well, had trouble even with multiple attempts: https://labs.openai.com/s/FxhxtMFe3kFS8msV8vekRAJ3 https://labs.openai.com/s/FxhxtMFe3kFS8msV8vekRAJ3 There are others, but anyway I think my examples are not important since it will be always easy to cherry pick prompts that yield the best results in model X. In my experience SD is good at producing (especially non-photo-realistic) art that looks pretty and DALL-E is better at following a specific prompt when I know what exactly I want. Of course I recognise your experience might (and probably does) differ. [0] - https://wafflegame.net/ https://wafflegame.net/

An easy example of DALL-E superiority is its ability to combine two different concepts together. For example, DALL-E performs extremely impressively on prompts in the format of “a still of homer Simpson in The Godfather” (replace character and movie as you wish). with the other two it’s a lot of misses

  Yeah you're right that Stable Diffusion produces garbage for that prompt. I'd love to see a site with lots of examples of the same prompt fed into various models, I assume someone has already made that.

      What? None of the people in these images are even remotely recognizable as Homer Simpson.

        What would you count as a pass then? A literal rendering of the cartoon Homer Simpson on top of a still from the actual Godfather film?

        Check out DALL-E results for similar prompts: https://twitter.com/Dalle2Pics/status/1534718848137560064?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/Dalle2Pics/status/1534718848137560064?re...
