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.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 totally unimpressed.If everything feels like magic, then what's one more piece of magic?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 inexplicable things, and they hence no longer understand relative complexity, progress, or change.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?
