DALL-E's censor really frustrates me. I hit "inappropriate" warnings that threaten "If you do this repeatedly you may be banned" all the time. Probably one in six prompts I tried on DALL-E got this warning. I don't see why a creative tool should have such aggressive censorship built in. One example of an "inappropriate" prompt that stuck out in my mind, and I think is pretty representative - I was trying to recreate DVD box art of Breaking Bad, but replace the main characters with cats. When my prompts were things like "Meth dealing cat" I would get the "inappropriate" flag. Frustrating. I much prefer stable diffusion. Quality is different, but being able to generate whatever I want without censorship is an enormous benefit. Plus, the cost. OpenAI is far too expensive. A friend and I are writing a novel. We wanted to see what it would be like to just feed each paragraph of text from our novel to the image generator, along with combinations of descriptions. This would be a pretty expensive experiment with DALL-E, but it can run locally for the cost of electricity with stable-diffusion.
