DALL·E 2 prompt book [pdf]
I just got access to the DALL-E 2 beta, and it's a ton of fun to make pictures out of everyday occurrences as prompts.<p>Someone else here on HN observed that everyday people don't "get" how huge this all is. I experimented with asking random acquaintances at a local cafe for prompts and showed them the generated pictures. All but one person was <i>totally</i> unimpressed.<p><i>If everything feels like magic, then what's one more piece of magic?</i><p>This scared me more than the implications of DALL•E 2 itself specifically. People think of the technology in the world as mysterious black boxes that do <i>inexplicable</i> things, and they hence no longer understand relative complexity, progress, or change.<p>My impression is that to most people DALL•E 2 is not "substantially" different to, say, Google Image search. Text in... image out. What's the big deal?
