I linked to this when DALL·E 3 was originally announced, but perhaps it's more appropriate now.
Last year I generated around 7,000 images using DALL·E 2 and uploaded them to https://generrated.com/ https://generrated.com/
I've been re-running the same prompts using DALL·E 3, although haven't updated the site yet (although I'm planning to). So far I've created 2,000 like-for-like using those prompts.
----------
In the meantime, here are some things I've noticed with DALL·E 3 vs. DALL·E 2:
- the quality is astounding, especially illustrations (vs. photographs) — as I've been looking at the DALL·E 2 images I've constantly felt like the old images look like potatoes now we have DALL·E 3 and Midjourney (even though at the time they seemed stunning)
- you will struggle to get an output that references a specific artist, but it will sometimes offer to make images in the general style of the artist as a compromise
- it can get quite repetitive when you ask it for concepts — if you look at the 'representation of anxiety' images on Generrated, you'll see that there's a huge variety in them, but as I've been running them with DALL·E 3 it seems to prefer certain imagery (in this case, a human heart under stress appears a lot), and the 'discovery of gravity' will include a tree and an apple 80% of the time
- some of the prompts need guidance to get the output you desire — 'iconic logo symbol' works well on DALL·E 2 to create a logo, but with DALL·E 3 will often produce a general image/painting with a logo somewhere in the image (e.g. a NASA logo on an astronaut's suit rather than a logo of an astronaut)
Those are some I can remember off of the top of my head. But it's so much fun to play with!

Edit: I quickly put together 3 comparisons between v2 and v3: https://imgur.com/a/L9DYCSA https://imgur.com/a/L9DYCSA
- ElCapitanMarkla 3y agoFantastic site btw. I really liked the 'Century' group, especially with the astronauts.
- davidbarker 3y agoThank you. Those are some of my favourites, too!
- MrNeon 3y ago>- it can get quite repetitive when you ask it for concepts From what I've read in several places DALL-E 3 in ChatGPT uses the same seed for every generation which can exacerbate that problem.
- davidbarker 3y agoThat matches what I've found. If you ask it for 4 images with an exact prompt, it'll generate 4 identical (or almost identical) images. Then if you ask it to re-run it with a different seed, it will say that it's done it but it'll still generate the same images. I hope that's going to be changed in the future.
- KolmogorovComp 3y agoDespite being trained not to mimic a specific artist, it’s incredible how the last image of anxiety with impressionism style (bottom-left) is close to the Wanderer above the Sea of Fog [0] (which is not even an impressionist painting!). It feels like it still very much rely on the underlying paintings used in the training material if the prompt is not more specific (also confirmed by the apple and tree example).

- _boffin_ 3y agoQuestion: I’m trying to have DALL-E output renders of websites, but fail every time. I give it style, sections, tone, placement, etc… have any suggestions?
