AI Thread Summary
DALL·E 2, an AI image generation tool, has received criticism for its performance, particularly when users attempt to create imaginative scenarios like Einstein dining with Newton while dinosaurs play chess. Users report significant disappointment, stating that the output is far inferior to expectations and lacks the creativity seen in artworks produced by artists on platforms like DeviantArt. The discussion highlights that while AI tools can generate images, they currently require extensive effort and experimentation with prompts to yield satisfactory results. Many users find the process frustrating and time-consuming, with some suggesting that AI cannot truly create art, as it ultimately relies on human input and creativity. Overall, the consensus is that DALL·E 2 and similar tools are not yet effective for producing quality images.

So I tested ChatGPT's cousin, Dalle.e 2. It is said to create images from text, and the website suggest to be very explicit in the description of the image, add many details, to get a good picture.
My mind started to wander... Would I finally get a pic of Einstein battling dinosaurs, or having a dinner with Newton while Trump and Putin are playing chess under the table? Boy did I was disappointed. Terribly disappointed.

Don't waste your time... this software is absolute garbage (for now at least), it's light years behind chatGPT.

I had the same experience with Defusion Bee. It was about the same as what you are showing. People on DeviantArt are producing wildly better things with Ai, including complex stories with consistent appearances of the characters. I don't know what tools they are using, but it isn't DeviantArt's own Ai. The thing threatened to ban me for my first request, and didn't even say why.

The person who won that art competition said they spent 200 hours trying prompts before getting what they wanted. This isn't a fire and forget tool.
 
Yes. Ai can't create art. But then neither can pencils, cameras, or photoshop. Humans create art.

I have spent several evenings trying to configure stable diffusion to run on my computer using CUDA. I have spent even more hours generating over 24k images from different prompts (OK, my computer did, choosing and entering a prompt is like half a minute). I have but a few images that are reasonably close to being worth of showing.

Yes, at this stage it is mostly useless garbage.

Just ONCE, I wanted to see a post titled Status Update that was not a blatant, annoying spam post by a new member. So here it is. Today was a good day here in Northern Wisconsin. Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
