I blew some money on a month of Dall-E. I think I can sum up modern AI’s benefit in a simple statement — speed over quality. What do I mean?
It shits the bed with anything having to do with words.
I mean, it’s really bad.
It does okay when you stop asking it to do words.
But notably, it doesn’t know how tridents are held or what stenotypes look like.
If you give it vague instructions, it asks you to clarify, which is pretty cool.
But the results are a little dystopian.
All in all, I had fun. I can see a future for this kind of tech, but it’s nowhere near replacing dedicated artists from what I’ve seen. The amount of prompting you need to give it to get usable images is… well… it turns me right off.
