The world is being flooded with artificially generated images and they're pretty good (check out these AI-created portraits of philosophers in the style of Maurice Sendak). OpenAI's new image generating tool, DALL-E 2, "adds enhanced textual comprehension, faster image generation, and four times greater resolution." As Ben Dickson summarizes, "DALL-E 2 is a 'generative model,' a special branch of machine learning that creates complex output instead of performing prediction or classification tasks on input data. You provide DALL-E 2 with a text description, and it generates an image that fits the description." Via Angel.co (see more) and TNW.
