DALL-E 2 generates images of Kermit The Frog in various films
These are honestly not very impressive (no sarcasm here) and further convince me that the next AI Winter will come with this coming recession.<p>Don't get me wrong, they are still impressive in the quality of the visual they produce, but just like Markov Chain demos of old, they're neat but way miss the mark.<p>None of these capture the "feel" of Kermit the Frog. Most of them look like weird designs for the Ninja Turtles movie in the 90s.<p>There are several distinctive features of Kermit that a missing from nearly all of these.<p>- For any of the "live action" ones, Kermit should still always be a puppet. 
- Kermit notoriously has lanky arms, 
- Kermit <i>never</i> has eye lids
- His eyes sit way on top of his head.
- He often has his weird neck decoration.
- His eyes have a very distinctive pupil shape.<p>None of these get Kermit correct, they all just look like frogs (maybe Dalle2 isn't trained on copyrighted/trademarked material?)<p>There are fan made versions of some of these which show just how different Dalle2 is from human imagination:<p>Kermit actually has been on family guy: <a href="https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/muppet/images/7/71/Famguyswamp.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/250?cb=20060912202623" rel="nofollow">https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/muppet/images/7/71/Famguys...</a><p>There are several "Kermit in Star Wars Examples" here are two: <a href="https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/021/668/kermit.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/021/668/ker...</a>, <a href="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6MebZx-4950/maxresdefault.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6MebZx-4950/maxresdefault.jpg</a><p>Again if this was done on someone's laptop it would be really impressive. However the fact that so much talent and resources were poured into pushing AI to it's limits and this is what we get tells me we've hit another brick wall as far as research goes.
