DALL.E 2

Hello folks,

I recently came across DALL.E 2 an AI design instrument and have been amazed at what this technology can do.

*So what is DALL.E 2 and what can it do?
*

DALL.E 2 is a new AI system from OpenAI that can take simple text descriptions like "An Astronaut in a Mumbai Local" and turn them into photorealistic images that have never existed before. DALL.E 2 can also realistically edit and retouch photos based on a simple Natural Language Description it can fill in or replace part of an image with AI-generated imagery that blends seamlessly with the original.

In January 2021, OpenAI introduced DALL.E, a system that could generate images from text. Whereas DALL.E 2 takes the technology even further with higher resolution, greater comprehension, and new capabilities.

One of the best things I found about DALL.E 2 was it can generate any kind of image such as a painting, pixel images, pencil drawings, and many kinds which we don't even know.

It can even create variations of a particular image with different angles and styles.

Surprisingly, DALL.E 2 was created by training a neural network on images and their text descriptions, with the help of deep learning it only understands individual objects like koala bears and motorcycles but learns from the relationship between objects.

For instance, let's say,
you ask DALL.E 2 for an image of "Dog riding a motorcycle", it knows how to create that or anything else with a relationship to another object or action.

*The DALL.E research has three main outcomes: *

  1. Helps people express themselves visually in ways they may not have been able to before.
  2. An AI-generated image can tell us a lot about whether the system understands us.
  3. Helps humans understand how to advance the AI systems to see and understand our world.

One of the exciting approaches I loved about DALL.E 2 was it can take what it learned from a variety of other labeled images and then apply it to a new image.

DALL.E 2 is an example of how imaginative humans and clever systems can work together to make new things- amplifying our creative potential

In the given images I provided a simple prompt and it generated a near-realistic image. Some of the prompts which I gave were:

  1. An Astronaut in a Mumbai Local
  2. Abstract pencil and watercolor art of a lonely robot carrying a balloon
  3. Painting of aliens taking over the earth
  4. A baby daikon radish in a tutu walking a dog.
  5. Watercolor painting of dancing plants

How imaginative a human can be and how AI can learn from millions of pictures and generate so many varieties is what DALL.E 2 is.
