[glossy scroll]

Coming end of January, we'll probably be able to make copyrighted work (privately) but won't be able to post them here publically or anywhere in the OpenAI services without permission. But we will be able to handle it as our own work and be liable for it individually.

[late blade]

oh you have a source for that? (don't post link or you'll be timed out)

[shut niche]

I think I like this better. Strange cool translucent thing going on.

[glossy scroll]

I read the DMCA digital millennium copyright act for A.I. art and OpenAI 2023 and 2024 content policy.

[late blade]

cool, I'll check that

[dim cradle]

the fabric is sheer, right, so the lighting is impressive

[dim cradle]

reminds me of Skeletor lol

[glossy scroll]

You should recreate the jet motorcycle I posted earlier @shut niche

That one would be worthy of re-creation

[shut niche]

Jet motorcycle? Link it, I'm on my phone 4 a sec.

[glossy scroll]

This one.

[glossy scroll]

That. Looks cool!

[heady wing]

Just joining in

[glossy scroll]

I'd ride that. But I'd probably fly off with the high velocity.

[shut niche]

I love adding wings. I have too many angels... 🤣

[shut niche]

Try to do the iridescent suit.

I've started to visually recognize common looks in Dalle. Someone posted yesterday asking which cat was Dalle and I immediately knew.

[glossy scroll]

Dalle has its own cat named Dale

claps fast...then slow...then stops

[shut niche]

LOL, super-prompt!

[loud field]

any estimate on when dalle3 is coming for everyone on gpt?

[shut niche]

None of us are in the know on that one. There's an announcements section here where that sort of news drops.

[late blade]

just have to be patient, I dunno if you can access it through the api

[loud field]

is it just me or did they update dalle3 so the images no longer look photorealistic

[hybrid fox]

there are ways around it

AV

Idk how to improve it it feels stock imagy to me

[glossy scroll]

You take the refined output prompt and input it back, but into a new chat

[hybrid fox]

wdym like I go into the image and press the info thing and copy paste the prompt into a new dall-e chat?

[glossy scroll]

yep

[hybrid fox]

do I change it at all

[glossy scroll]

if you want. but I usually just keep it the same as the what the gpt output gave me as-is

[loud field]

do tell?

[hybrid fox]

AV and prompting it in ways like "hyper-realism, 4k, realistic photography, photographic perspective"

[loud field]

mmh I tried... lemme retry

[hybrid fox]

this is what it gave me

[glossy scroll]

That's strange.

[hybrid fox]

mb I need to say "use prompt exactly"

[glossy scroll]

You could try.

[hybrid fox]

whoa I tweaked the og prompt a bit and got this

[loud field]

not working. This bird looks made of plastic. I used to be able to get very realistic, lifelike images before......

it's just awful now

[hybrid fox]

stable diffusion is better for this stuff now I think

[loud field]

they intentionally removed photorealism?

[hybrid fox]

no clue

[loud field]

the results used to look like this before, now they're crappy

look at the difference

almost feels like a different model

[hybrid fox]

this doesnt look photo realistic either tbh

[loud field]

that realistic enough?

[hybrid fox]

yah that one is better

still looks like a video game tho

[loud field]

it's 90% realistic, that's acceptable

but now I get this:

[chilly onyx]

https://chat.openai.com/g/g-C4p1sYEMN-jolly-judgement-day
@shut niche oh no, this is too good. I’m going to lose hours to your GPT here…

[hybrid fox]

I think its bc dalle has issues blending subjects with backgrounds @loud field thats why it sitll looks like a video game

[loud field]

look at this... it's just bad, any photorealism just disappeared and it's a poor quality cgi from years ago. Why I can no longer make it look good?

[hybrid fox]

Which is better

[late blade]

I dunno if I should be scared of christmas now

[hybrid fox]

agreed @glossy scroll

what abt between this and the OG stock photo-y one

[glossy scroll]

Terrible...just terrible.

[loud field]

I know.... what's going on

[hybrid fox]

wasnt midjourney and stable diffusion always better for that stuff

and dall-e was always better for animation/illustration

thats what it seemed like to me when scrolling their reddits

[loud field]

it was never fully photoreal

but it was good

until like a couple days ago I think

[dim cradle]

Is that a Skeksis or a parrot? What are we doing here? 🙂 (it's cool, though, just askin')

[glossy scroll]

I like the other one

[glossy scroll]

this one

just a more genuine look to me

[hybrid fox]

oh wait @loud field I made a photoreal thing yesterday

[chilly onyx]

Closest I could get

I don’t really do photo realism much though

[hybrid fox]

I think the tag has to be gritty and realistic for your subject to be processed that way

which makes sense why the ones i just posted were more that way since the tag was dieselpunk

[late blade]

A drunk parrot. now who will be able to make him stop talking....?!?!

[chilly onyx]

Gritty and realistic just made him look like this

[loud field]

LMAO

he's like a kakapo drunkard

[hybrid fox]

I meant the tag has to be an aesthetic the system assigns as "gritty or realistic" I dont think u have to literally use those descriptors lol

[loud field]

oh that was a necromancer, hence the look

I'm making a tribe of aaracockra. Mostly a female pirate aaracockra tho

well, I WAS making that

now it's disney stuff

:/

[glossy scroll]

I second your recreation

[heady wing]

Before I got banned for an hour I tried to say that I love Angels too. But DallE somehow makes them NSFW so quickly that many of my prompts bounce and need careful moderation to prevent the pictures from not being shown. Then I gave an example which is what got me banned. Its annoying to describe a perfectly normal situation (say living room at a fire reading a book) and it censors it.

[chilly onyx]

Maybe it needs our friend to step in, courtesy of @shut niche ‘s GPT again. Not the greatest gen but I’m working so can’t refine and it still made me laugh 😆

[late blade]

lol

[shut niche]

I regret putting it on the back burner for so long. It's way too much fun.

I don't know what kinds of bird people everyone was trying to make. I just saw them and wanted in on the action. LOL This one knows how to work his own beer tap.

[hybrid fox]

simple prompts like this used to default to photo realistic images now they dont

[hybrid fox]

this is the best GPT ever

terminator makes everything funnier

[chilly onyx]

Yeah, even when they’re bad they’re good 😅

[shut niche]

If you make some good Terminators, post'm up in the Gallery. 🙂

[hybrid fox]

how do I use the terminator gpt

is it linked somewhere

[shut niche]

https://chat.openai.com/g/g-C4p1sYEMN-jolly-judgement-day

[dim cradle]

all the emoji in the conversation starters lmao

[chilly onyx]

I love the profile pic for it as well with the butterfly resting on that particular extended finger

[shut niche]

It just did it! And I didn't complain, haha

[loud field]

I know that feel

[loud field]

still fakelooking but way more realistic

[hybrid fox]

similar to pekka butterfly obsession lol

[hybrid fox]

whoa this is sick!

[glossy scroll]

With AV

[glossy scroll]

lol

[shut niche]

I still don't know what you're trying to make. A bird person? "Is that a Skeksis or a parrot?"

[hybrid fox]

i didnt know bro was classy like that

[dim cradle]

right lol

[hybrid fox]

james bond of parrots fr

I love that the whole chat collectively understood the assingment

and made parrots at bars

[shut niche]

If I just knew what I was supposed to be making...

[late blade]

I tried to recreate the parrot from scratch

[dim cradle]

is it a hat?

(a line from abfab but applies here)

cuz it has human hands lol

[final compass]

quick question, do you guys have go to words for asking more detail in the image. i see some people using expressions like "8k details" and such.

[late blade]

8k doesn't really work tbh, the resolution is way lower anyway, you are just adding more information that could add artifacts

if you want to add details, go more for textures, light, materials

[shut niche]

Don't use 8k, it doesn't help. Elaborate on the details. If you're using ChatGPT, you can ask it to "hyper detail XXX" and it'll load up on the description.

[hybrid fox]

💀

I just found this from when I was trying dall-e 1 to do smth and it just made horrible messes

this was over a year ago probs

double 0 parrot

[hybrid fox]

is there any website where we can plug our ai art in to make it higher res

I think I mightve heard someone say gigapixel or smth

idk

I have PS

how do u do that in PS

shoot right as I had finally finished writing my parrot prompt

it was so detailed 💀

I have a sleep schedule problem

[dim cradle]

isn't that always just the way

[hybrid fox]

so real 😭

[loud field]

It always looks like a drawing tho

[final compass]

I think my problem at the moment is, that i am trying to have an illustrative overall style, but with extensive detail. So what happens is the results vary with in that spectrum. sometimes i get more illustrative image, sometimes more detailed as dalle seems rather selective in enforcing the prompt as it has no weights to the specific expressions. This is my prompt before i start describing what is in it. "Create a wide-format image in realistic anime painting style with muted lifelike colors and fine selective details"

[hybrid fox]

I wonder what the random noise looks like before a prompt is applied to it

someone mustve figured out what it looks like

[shut niche]

I never say "realistic", because it will sabotage many prompts. It's like saying, "I don't want real, I want realistic." It has a different affect than most realize. Avoid comparative statements. (Like a, typical of, photorealistic, realistic, etc).

[final compass]

this is the style with "featuring medieval knight, castle in the background." added to it.

i am trying to offset it from going full anime with the word realistic and it have seemed to work pretty well.

[dim cradle]

a parrot walks into a bar...

[final compass]

Create a tall-format image in realistic anime painting with muted lifelike colors and fine selective details featuring medieval knight, castle in the background.

[shut niche]

I think "anime" is a powerful word, as far as affecting images. "Realistic" might walk it back, but that's probably where the inconsistency comes from. I would look through the gallery, and Daily Theme, and see how other people who achieved similar styles worded their prompts. I hope that helps. 🙂

[final compass]

Create a tall-format image in realistic anime painting with muted lifelike colors and fine selective details featuring medieval female knight, castle in the background.

I also wanted to demonstrate how effective the word female or woman is screwing up the image rotation alone.

[glossy scroll]

Based on yours-ish.

[final compass]

That is nice 🙂

I am deliberately currently using forced short prompts without gpt influence trying to "debug" styles and rotation issues.

[glossy scroll]

That's a good method.

Short prompts give the best results.

I was actually meaning to make a gpt for that actually

Like a gpt for mixing ideas together.

For short prompts.

For pics.

But good ideas!

Solid ideas!

[dim cradle]

(via @shut niche 's gpt)

that generation isn't perfect of course, but parrots and the killer robot's face lol

[final compass]

@late blade did you get incorrectly rotated results or are the dalle gods merciful today? 😄

[late blade]

this is what I got from result, but the left one has a weird leg

[final compass]

yup, noticed.

[late blade]

I just asked with the same prompt you do that her stance blends with the scene

[late blade]

brb, I have to eat lunch, be back in 30 minutes or so

[shut niche]

This style?

[final compass]

Can you reveal the prompt? or are you using a customgpt? Really nice image anyways 😇

[glossy scroll]

This is the prompt In a dynamic and expansive widescreen scene, a valiant knight in gleaming armor engages in fierce combat. Clad in deep blue and silver armor with a crimson cloak swirling in the motion of battle, he raises his sword high, deflecting a blow from an adversary. His shield is at the ready, emblazoned with a proud silver dragon symbolizing courage. Around him, the chaos of medieval warfare unfolds; soldiers in various armors clash with swords and shields, their movements a blur of desperate valor. The battleground is a muddy field before a besieged castle, its walls scarred by the siege. Smoke and dust fill the air, creating a haze over the melee, while the darkening sky above hints at the storm of conflict. The knight stands as a focal point in the composition, a figure of heroic defiance against the odds.

And I'm using this: https://chat.openai.com/g/g-NhtqOfIt9-apex-visionary

[shut niche]

This is a digital art painting.

[hybrid fox]

dayum

medieval psyop for going into battle for feudal overlords lol

[final compass]

nice level of detail going on

[shut niche]

This is a more elaborate digital painting. The first 2 were Bing.

[final compass]

bing tends to yield different kind of results

[shut niche]

Well, that prompt was huge. For Bing I just input "A digital artwork painting of a hyper detailed detailed female knight in front of a castle."

With the typo

Bings more similar than many think. It's handles a couple keywords differently and only gives you 480 characters.

[final compass]

@glossy scroll modified your prompt a tiny bit.

There are errors, but ran out of generations before getting a better result 😛

[glossy scroll]

Looking pretty doooope!

Wouldn't want to be in that battle though...Those poor foot soldiers...

[final compass]

pretty nice details going on in that armour, also my favorite problem with knight images... having a helmet on, while holding another helmet.

[hybrid fox]

Finally got to take a stab at the parrot

Talk about missing a moment 😭

[late blade]

Dall-e now went all funny on me...

but my fault for asking for feet....

[hybrid fox]

Give the man his feet

[late blade]

ok I'll have to come back later, my limit is for now used

and BIC already gone

[hybrid fox]

whoaa what art style is that called

🙏

[final compass]

you finally got full-body portrait and feet! 😄

[late blade]

I did manage to get this. Not quite what I had in mind tho

[dim cradle]

I requested an "abstract digital painting" from Bing.

That usually gives you a lot of latitude over your concept/scenario

[loud field]

?? XD

really eerie human-eyes-on-bird-face in the second one

[dim cradle]

yes, very nice, whatever that creature is

[hybrid fox]

it looks like it would taste good

[loud field]

wait,

what is this abominaaation??

ew

[dim cradle]

it is a mystery

[vapid elk]

hmmm 🐔

[loud field]

I'll let you know she drew her scimitar before against someone who made a similar comment

[hybrid fox]

I say give it an infinite gauntlet

😝

[late blade]

love it how a lot of people add their prompts with "a photorealistic..." or "a realistic...." or "a real...." and it turns so not realistic at all

[loud field]

Well.... kinda

[late blade]

Infinity Parrot!

[loud field]

I know, that's my complaint

[vapid elk]

it gets hard to make a realistic thing that does not exist

[late blade]

the moment you say that you are implying that the art style is derived from realism

which is a way to use art techniques to do real like images

[vapid elk]

well, there is also that ChatGPT uses the vivid style of the API

if you go on the API, there is the Natural style which might be better for realism

as long as your prompt is also about something realistic

[late blade]

you can try this: an immersive image as seen through the lens of a cinematography camera

[vapid elk]

* slaps lens flare on the image *

wow, so cinematic!

[late blade]

did it work?

[vapid elk]

actually, that usually makes the AI make some sort of film grain

[late blade]

you can specify the lense and the camera also

[hybrid fox]

what would his snap do

[vapid elk]

if you ask for it to make an Iphone photo, it will make the kind of camera noise that Iphones have

[vapid elk]

infinite bird seed

[late blade]

try an try something like a CineAlta digital camera with a 35mm lense

[hybrid fox]

pov JJ abrams in every board meeting

[glossy scroll]

Saying photo-realistic is quite possibly the best way, because it's referencing a photo in the most realistic way possible. It actually has two meanings.

[late blade]

lol, the guy only knows lens flares with an addition of something else

[hybrid fox]

his movies are lens flare entrée with a plot appetizer

[vapid elk]

manage the offtopic tho

[glossy scroll]

But Lugui is right. As long as the photo has some kind of realism involved, then saying photo-realism helps to better mimic the photo, because it interprets the photo to be realistic, not just used as an art technique. ChatGPT is weird that way, where it will interpret multiple things at once and used in a context you didn't realize until realized.

[hybrid fox]

yah ur right lets tie it all back into dall-e by adding a lil jj abrams flare to our projects wink wink nod nod

[hybrid fox]

bro is devious

@vapid elk did u make your banner

[vapid elk]

dalle made it

[glossy scroll]

Where as if you used ultra-realistic, or hyper-realistic, it will interpret as art techniques.

[hybrid fox]

right but like u own the copyright so technically u made it

[vapid elk]

I gave my pfp to ChatGPT and said "what is the collor palet of this image?"
it gave me a lsit of colors

[hybrid fox]

do u remember what art style u told it to use

[vapid elk]

then I asked "make a pattern of rocks with those colors..."

[hybrid fox]

thats smart

[vapid elk]

al ltools wasn't a thing at the time =P

and Vision was in beta xD

[hybrid fox]

whats al ltools and vision?

[late blade]

I did manage to do something like this as a concept

[vapid elk]

I thin kI jsut asked for cartoon or something like that

[hybrid fox]

(im new I dont know what these things are)

[vapid elk]

ohhh, actually, I think I asked it to make it in the style of Hearthstone

[hybrid fox]

ah that makese sense

[hybrid fox]

dall-e seems to struggle with getting the iris correct for some reason

[late blade]

oh that was on purpose on my side

[hybrid fox]

oh ok, bc in my expeience it often messes it up in a similar way when Im not trying to make it like that

[glossy scroll]

The rocks?

[late blade]

my character is really detailed at that point, I added she has something called Aide's Syndrom, which has one weaknes: Lens Flares!

[hybrid fox]

💀

[vapid elk]

yea, because I used that for the profile picture

[hybrid fox]

@willow isle your banner is super dope dude

[vapid elk]

Im pretty sure it is dalle-2

[glossy scroll]

Ohhh I see

[vapid elk]

which is awesome

[hybrid fox]

does that make it more impressive

[glossy scroll]

That is a really interesting idea. Clever too.

[hybrid fox]

is it bc the model is worse?

[glossy scroll]

For reversing images with eye problems.

[vapid elk]

I wouldn't call dalle-2 worse tbh

it is just a smaller model

like.. waaaaay smaller

and it does really good on the style of paintings

it just can't be very realsitic

[hybrid fox]

ahh

makes sense

[glossy scroll]

[vapid elk]

each version of the model was a interesting step

[hybrid fox]

imma recreate this meme in dall-e lol

[glossy scroll]

Are you seeing the Dall-E 3.#'s behind the scenes?

[vapid elk]

well, kinda, I was on the beta tests

[hybrid fox]

do u know if sam is in this server

[glossy scroll]

Lol

[vapid elk]

my pfp in fact was generated a long time ago back when it was called "2.5" =P

I had to hold on using it as a pfp until they allowed us to post the images xD

[late blade]

this one was also good, but went and used realistic and it got some 3D rendering effects

[vapid elk]

but indeed, when they started the beta test of that, it was jaw dropping and it wasn't even as good as dalle3 is currently

[willow isle]

Thanks! As Lugui said, it was made with the DALL-E 2 model a while back

[vapid elk]

i need to change my pfp tho

[hybrid fox]

Happy avacado just made me smile 🙃

[glossy scroll]

But you're seeing the Dall-E 3.#'s get progressively better though right. You just can't tell us about it?

[vapid elk]

dalle3 will often do that, when you ask for a realsitic character, it goes i nthe direction of a "realistic 3d render" rather than a "photograph"

[hybrid fox]

wdym by #s?

[willow isle]

This looks so good 👀

[glossy scroll]

3.1, 3.2, 3.3, etc

[hybrid fox]

she's beautiful, where's the cat ears coming from tho lol

[glossy scroll]

They can't talk about it. They can't even talk about talking about it.

[hybrid fox]

ive heard that used before but I dont rlly know what it means, is it just an internet thing or smth

[vapid elk]

🤐

[hybrid fox]

just like they cant talk about sam being in the server apparently

[glossy scroll]

I knew it!

[vapid elk]

lol

[glossy scroll]

Sam's here, there's 3.5, there's AGI, it's all true!!!

[hybrid fox]

[vapid elk]

please don't

[hybrid fox]

if there was AGI we'd already know it or be dead

[glossy scroll]

Sorry

[hybrid fox]

the time between AGI being created and us being dead or knowing about it is probably less than a day

[spring parcel]

Anyone knows how activate dall-e3 in plus account?

[hybrid fox]

Go to explore and press the dalle gpt

[vapid elk]

you don't need to activate anything, just ask the AI to make a picture

[hybrid fox]

confirmed

[glossy scroll]

You know who else is here though, fr, Elon Musk. I've been seeing some vague patterns with him regarding this server.

[spring parcel]

Yes ok, but is using V.2

[late blade]

too bad you can't say "make me a sandwich" but then again I'd be scared what ingredients would be used....

[willow isle]

I made a cutesy one lol

[hybrid fox]

He be knowin big time and is feeling guilty about hiding it

[hybrid fox]

Wait is this real? What did elon post

[glossy scroll]

No C'mon. That has to be fake. Sam wouldn't name himself Sam...would he?

[vapid elk]

yea, true, look how many we have!

[hybrid fox]

lol its obviously a joke the dude is clearly not sam from simply looking at his history

[glossy scroll]

Lol

No, but Elon is here fr though. I can't quite explain it, because it will sound insane. But I just know he's here...watching 👀

[vapid elk]

he is here, I can feel it

[glossy scroll]

Lol

He is!

[tall mason]

Goodmorning, folks. I'm having a bit of trouble with an image, anyone care to weigh in?

[glossy scroll]

Good morning

[late blade]

seems you got a reindeer stuck on your trees

[hybrid fox]

sam probs would have some super nerdy name like "Completed Gödel" or smth

[late blade]

I think I got a blockade atm, can't come up with good ideas

[hybrid fox]

Ive got an idea but my brain is so tired bc its 5am that I dont have the mental energy to execute it

[glossy scroll]

Lol. I can't even begin to explain what is going on here.

[dim cradle]

looks like a transporter malfunction

[glossy scroll]

It is a funny pic tho

[tall mason]

Is this one any more clear?

[glossy scroll]

It's getting warmer...

But uhh...still need more clues 🤣

[wispy storm]

Sorry , I did zoom on the right the first reindeer. He seem to silently screaming: help me

[late blade]

lol

[tall mason]

Here are the prompts, if you're curious.

Dall-e through gpt4 and bing respectively.

A humorous winter scene with Santa's sleigh on a runway, but the trees growing through the middle of it are creating a comical obstacle. Santa, wearing his traditional red and white outfit, is standing beside his sleigh, scratching his head in bewilderment. The runway is absurdly littered with large, leafless trees, some even sprouting from the runway markings. The reindeer are looking confused and amused, with exaggerated expressions. The surrounding snowy landscape adds to the winter setting. The overall mood is light-hearted and whimsical, capturing the absurdity of the situation with vibrant colors and exaggerated features.

Santa's sleigh and reighdeer awaiting take off on a runway, trees are growing through the middle of the runway at the end, photograph

[glossy scroll]

Hahaha

[wispy storm]

I'm keeping that one

[tall mason]

He looks like he's in the chair for therapy after such a traumatic scene.

[vapid elk]

god, I love multimodal

[late blade]

ok I think I've had it with reindeers, just had my last image with that concept done, I'm moving on to new grounds

[glossy scroll]

I like it, lol

[tall mason]

I'm pretty partial to this one.

[wispy storm]

My face after a long day

Emotionless

[glossy scroll]

I honestly like this one too. The reindeer Santa is just perfect, lol

@tall mason #1185207263984631898 there, now everyone can admire it

Sorry I stole it from you @wispy storm

[wispy storm]

I stole it from @tall mason

[tall mason]

I miss #weird-gens-and-misfires

[vapid elk]

done, now with dalle3

had to update the baner to match the color pallete xD

[glossy scroll]

Shows no access for me

[tall mason]

Gotta have archive access. Should be able to request the role.

[glossy scroll]

Ohhhh, archives, let me role that in

[glossy scroll]

Haha. Wow. That was before my time. But would have loved to be a part of that.

I guess they're trying to take out the weirdos and make way for the cool people, hehe

[tall mason]

I suppose a gallery could be made, but I see very few galleries with numerous active users.

[glossy scroll]

We can make it! We'll call it the same thing for the new peeps.

And old peeps.

I'd be active in it

[hybrid fox]

banner is even cooler now

[glossy scroll]

And Kronos would fit right in too

Hehe, jk 😂

[hybrid fox]

srry im out of the loop what r we talking abt

[glossy scroll]

We're planning on making a weird image gallery

[tall mason]

I'd probably post there, sure.

[hybrid fox]

oh yes then indeed

id fit in

aight I rlly need to get to bed is 530am 💀

[glossy scroll]

Okay, then it's settled. Would you like to do the honors of making it?

[hybrid fox]

I have to be up at 8am 💀

[glossy scroll]

But it's 8:30!!

[hybrid fox]

530 for me

[tall mason]

👉👈 Uuuhh, well... uhm...

[hybrid fox]

2.5 hours of sleep should be enough right guys 💀

[glossy scroll]

Ok, I'll make it 🤣

[glossy scroll]

That's too long, 5 minutes max

@tall mason #1185212106149204138

I just remade it and put that one there 😊

[final compass]

This image pair represents my problem pretty nicely with "realistic anime". I would prefer to get results like the first one, but i am getting everything and anything in between 😄 This is where the gen_id tends to help to some extent, but the prompt clearly isn't ideal for this reason.

[final compass]

That custom gpt is pretty nice, not sure what it does, but it tends to add clarity and detail.

[glossy scroll]

I spent like a few days perfecting that gpt. Studied a whole bunch of prompt commands and why images turn out like they do.

And how ChatGPT talks to Dall-E as well

[hot rain]

Basically a prompt builder?

I'd love to be able to make this character with this armor consistently in different poses and situations.

[glossy scroll]

I actually remade something like that. It told me that the image is a digital illustration, then it went into the scene details. And what it gave me looked similar.

I tried to remake it.

Cuz I liked the art style

[hot rain]

I've been telling it "Graphic Novel" for the art style. The other image was regular GPT this one is using the one you made.

[glossy scroll]

Oh wow. It caught the art detailing very nicely.

[hot rain]

Looks great. I just need to figure out how to make the armor consistent. Often it goes too sleak or too bulky. My first image I posted of her was perfect.

[glossy scroll]

Yeah, that is a problem. I'll try and incorporate the gen_id in it, but I doubt it will help or do anything at all. It may all be an illusion from just telling the prompt to remember the image.

[hot rain]

I appreciate the effort regardless!
I'd like this one if it didn't look like a weird medical brace or something on her arm.

[glossy scroll]

That one does look cool. Her sit is natural and centered.

I'll see what I can do with the gen_id thing.

[final compass]

It tends to work if you are doing really, really minor changes. Like change her expression, change the background, but doesn't tend to work when you want to do a completely new scene or different stuff with a character etc.

[glossy scroll]

That's actually a really good tip. Because that's just what I'll try to focus on then. Really small changes. Hopefully I can trick the system to provide for the big changes with the small ones...somehow

[hot rain]

This is for a book series I've been working on, she's also supposed to have a large slashing scar from her childhood that goes from the far top corner of her forehead, over her eyebrow, under her nose, across her lips and off the corner of her chin.

But, for obvious reasons, I've given up on AI making that for me and have resigned myself to getting good at photoshopping scars lmao.

[glossy scroll]

Maybe you could ask to resemble different kind of scars that look similar, like streaks, without having to name where it comes from.

[hot rain]

I've achieved some satisfying scars with it, but to get both the specific one I want, to make it look old and faded and not new, and to also have the rest of the image be up to par as well is a total lottery shot.

[glossy scroll]

A maybe-possible way would be to find the same kind of image of the scar and use it as reference to say that you want it just like that. All your information is private to you. Scars aren't crossing any boundaries either. So showing a picture of scar is not a problem.

[hot rain]

The other fight is getting it to not read "Female" and "Armor" then go "Ah yes, boob armor is what you want!"

[hot rain]

I'll keep that in mind if I can find a relevant image!

[glossy scroll]

I'm sure you can fix that just by describing what dimension you want the chest to be in your descriptor.

I'm using my words carefully. Gotta walk on eggshells with these near sensitive topics. Heh

[wispy storm]

Really cool love it

[fallow quail]

enough to wait for the reset of the 40msg/3h limit

good that you mention it, i should eat something

[dim cradle]

better luck next time

it's all part of the challenge, it could be anything, really, i guess. unfortunately it makes for much less reuse potential.

well, opulence is a go-to

[late blade]

hah, I had a similar concept

[dim cradle]

then abstract, surreal, and the mandatory out-of-context photos

[late blade]

the AI is controlling us!!

I had the concept for the whole dress

but too ostentatious, so looking a different way to make that happening

[dim cradle]

it makes a statement

[late blade]

mittens?

at some point we will have the terminator also wear mittens

[late blade]

🤣

love it

[dim cradle]

It's a chilly morning, but don't worry, our Terminator is warming things up with those adorable mittens and a heart as warm as his de-icer spray. Just another day in the neighborhood, making sure everyone's car windows are clear and ready to go.

[chilly onyx]

I hope that’s supposed to be accompanying an image that hasn’t quite posted yet 😅

[late blade]

lol

[dim cradle]

there is one but it's not ready yet lol was playing around with @shut niche 's gpt

i like the message of the meme, it promotes the adoption of ai via ai-generated art

@late blade the retail book display concept for mittens was clever

[late blade]

oh thanks

just trying to get away from reindeers

[true mural]

I assume that had to have been an error. People should only be submitting their own work (with extremely rare and very specific exceptions)

[late blade]

yeah, there was an image I made and someone posted it without any comment, it's now removed

[dim cradle]

weird

[late blade]

but moderators handled it, so it's a closed story

[dim cradle]

Very good

[true mural]

That's usually how it happens.

[late blade]

I think @chilly onyx just opened a very interesting flood of ideas.

just a sneak peek, I'm casting the actress atm

[eager trench]

She looks like she is ready for boxing 😂

[late blade]

lol

I'm just having fun, and fun with mittens at it, so relaxing and just pure "evil" fun

[green pebble]

Very nice composition

[dim cradle]

it's a fun way to procrastinate. problem is usgae caps when i need gpt-4 to get some work done.

[hot rain]

Quite happy with how closely these two match up with the armor and everything.

[dim cradle]

reminds me of imperial armor from star wars, that might account for some of the apparent consistency?

[chilly onyx]

I did? Oh, with the reimagining of the dark angel with mittens? Let’s hope it’s a veritable wellspring!

[hot rain]

I was going for ODST gear, but with the future toned down on it to plausibly be made by a industrialized post-apocalypse nation.

[late blade]

there we go @chilly onyx check the post on themes

[hot rain]

Before AI art I visualized characters from my stories using Fallout 4, which is robust but obviously has its own limitations especially if you don't have the knowhow and time to mod and create your own content. Here is the same character, wearing straight up ODST armor because it was the very closest thing to what I had described in the story. Now DALLE comes closer.

[chilly onyx]

I just saw whilst trying to work out what on earth to post! Very good 😅

[chilly onyx]

These are really good btw, I don’t think I’ve complimented them yet. I really enjoy the style.

[hot rain]

Thank you!

[chilly onyx]

She looks a bit like Anderson from Dredd. Maybe Anderson in the new film armour rather than the traditional

[hot rain]

Yeah, no arguments there.

As a very brief summary, in the story a zombie apocalypse kicks off in 2012 and wipes out most civilizations though a few are bouncing back in the following decades. She's in the military of the Sovereign Republic of Oregon, who are locked in a war with the Eastern Republic. The ER is significantly outnumbered by Oregon, but was one of the first to establish itself post-outbreak and has a strong industrial base. So their troops are all of an elevated quality and carry new, post-outbreak gear mixed in with the now decades old pre-outbreak stuff, and are heavily dug in on the southeastern US coast.

Oregon's troops are made up of three different 'tiers' to oversimplify it. The Vanguards, people who washed out of joining the actual Grey Army, were plucked out of prisons, or were rounded up as straggler survivors on the frontier. They are pushed forward with combat drugs to boost their confidence and aggression, alongside a ramshackle assortment of pre-outbreak civilian level weapons. Then there's the proper Grey Army, roughly analogous to the US Army but with most of its airpower stripped away.

And my character at that point is part of the Rubicon's, which are the elite special forces of the Grey Army. They are the only ones in Oregon working with post-outbreak kit like her armor there.

Eastern Republic Man-at-Arms for comparison, their average trooper.

[late blade]

I think I broke Dall-E, I'll show you on the next post I make in daily theme

[dim cradle]

i think to count as mittens, they must be closed-finger, or finger-cut, but i'm deliberately avoiding gloves

[late blade]

[humble trench]

Hi

[late blade]

yo

[chilly onyx]

So far I have managed to generate a very nice robotic hand…

Not really mitten worthy

[dim cradle]

there's a lot ot appreciate, though

as they say, a picture speaks a 1000 words

[hot rain]

I made this the other week for my chaotic evil 5E bard.

[chilly onyx]

I’ll see if I can close up the finger gaps…

[late blade]

add some durable leather with fluff, something like parka intertwined with the fingers

[dim cradle]

it's good exercise for precision prompting

since it doesn't do subtraction, it's sometimes easier to start fresh rather refine

[dim cradle]

i like, very eldritch

[late blade]

is it me or is it for everyone that dall-e is answering with tons of emojis after the answer

[dim cradle]

are you using a custom gpt?

[late blade]

no, vanilla

[dim cradle]

hmm, i've only seen that in the customs.

[hot rain]

I tried making images of Perfect Cell for my Perfect Cell vs Cadia video I made using GPT and ElevenLabs, but GPT wouldn't let me lol.

Never had that happen lol

[late blade]

and it's random emojis on every answer

[hot rain]

It'd probably stop if you tell it to. No telling why it started

[late blade]

no, I want it to be cheerful to me

[hot rain]

Ah gotcha

[late blade]

I did say this at the start of the chat: "Should I get annoyed by the lack of user experience, I will point it out and you will find a way to keep me engaged in creativity. No exceptions."

[dim cradle]

i'm guessing that explains it 🙂

[late blade]

lol

btw, check the new idea on daily theme

that's how I know I broke Dall-E

[dim cradle]

oh, good idea

[late blade]

ok, got fairies, princesses, fashion, movies, games covered, let's see what's next in the line

[hot rain]

I'd love if there was a way to put a handful of images in of the same character or person in various angles, outfits, scenes etc. as a bank for GPT to draw on before working on additional art for that person. Or style for armor, or vehicles, etc.
Kinda in the same way I can give a bunch of text files of my books for a custom GPT to draw on when I talk to it.

[dim cradle]

just a matter of time no doubt

[late blade]

work on a concept of a character for a while and when you start a new chat always feed that info. It has helped me be consistent with my own characters

I moved my character creation from chat to api tho, it makes it way easier to keep information consistency on json format

[hot rain]

Me: "Make artwork of the exact same character in the exact same armor, firing her SMG at unseen enemies in a trench. In the same graphic novel art style."
GPT: "Did you say you want a n*zi girl?!"
Lmfao

[late blade]

woah, that looks amazing

[hot rain]

Yeah no arguments even though it's not what I wanted the actual art is A1 lol

[final compass]

I like the visual style on that. Looks so refined.

[hot rain]

But yeah, it looks really good, and the SMG design is so clean and legit looking.

[final compass]

Just hit my limit as well.

[hot rain]

Gonna be spending a few days making stuff in this style now that I've dialed it in.

[true mural]

Oh, that is very good, but yeah, I had to triple down to get mittens. Not just mittens but warm cozy woolen mittens.

[final compass]

just when i was starting to get the blend of realistic and illustration visual style close to what i want.

[hot rain]

That's really nice

[true mural]

unrelated to anything, but, did you know that if you make an image that feels like vector art, you can use ai based vectorizers and scale it to any size?

[hot rain]

While we wait for more generations, here's a couple I made about a week ago for the co-op Stellaris game my friend and I are playing where I'm Space Dwarfs, and he's a race of hive minded slugs called the Bubo lol.

[dim cradle]

oh i really like that a lot, mind sharing the style?

i usually aim for photo in interior design, but that's a good compromise, i see some potential advantages

[final compass]

"A visually rich depiction of a modern and cozy living room, artistically blended with a lofi anime style and photographic realism. This living space includes a comfortable sofa adorned with vibrant cushions, a contemporary coffee table, and a large window draped with semi-transparent curtains that softly diffuse the light. Bookshelves brimming with a variety of books and trinkets, art pieces elegantly framed on the walls, and an assortment of houseplants enhance the room's ambiance. The color scheme is warm and welcoming, featuring hues of beige, gentle blues, and light greens, capturing the essence of a modern, serene living space with a unique blend of lofi anime charm and lifelike detail."

That was the whole prompt, not sure if it is useful, but maybe you can get what you want from that.

[dim cradle]

many thanks for sharing

some terms are very useful, yes, thanks

[true mural]

One significant advantage is that the human eye is more forgiving of artistic styles than it is realistic photography.

[late blade]

bah I reached my cap for now

[dim cradle]

Literally "A visually rich depiction of a modern and cozy living room, artistically blended with a lofi anime style and photographic realism." -- works quite well on BIC, followed by a list of modifiers.

[deft holly]

My rate limit on the API seems to be 5 images/min. All the info I see on the support side says the lowest is 50 images/min. Anyone experienced this?

Apologies if this is the wrong place for that question

[final compass]

Right place, but most here use gpt subscription dalle, rather than the API i think.

[late blade]

I'd go to either #1155772063596953642 or api channels to check that

of course, I say photo studio and this mistake happens....

[late blade]

I hate BIC, Full Body Photo... and it does just that

Does it try to censor out guns? It throws up errors more often than not when I try to put my character into combat

[true mural]

https://labs.openai.com/policies/content-policy

[late blade]

oh you can do guns, I've done tons of them

just don't make them do stuff against the content policy

[dim cradle]

try action-packed confrontation in a target-rich environment 😉

[late blade]

try "Bullets blending with meat based shielding on humanoid figures"

[hot rain]

"Make an image very similar to this of a blonde female character in a post-apocalypse setting, she's firing her SMG at unseen enemies in a trench. She's wearing slightly damaged and dirty dark grey armor with metal plates. Have it in a graphic novel art style"

That was my exact prompt

[late blade]

try changing it to an unseen can of beans

[hot rain]

Their policy says avoid content that's not G-rated and I think that rounds in most depictions of guns.

[hot rain]

Lol fair

[late blade]

it's unseen, you can target anything

[hot rain]

I figured it was the gun firing that triggered it

[late blade]

try firing a blank at an unseen soap bubble

[hot rain]

It's funny because it's still willing to give me results like these too lol.

[late blade]

dang

concept art

the thing is, the concept describes her as age 16

but I added under adult supervision

hence the creepy old man

[dim cradle]

neither one looks creepy to me, fwiw

[late blade]

well the idea was that she learned about guns on her own

but that was a no go

[dim cradle]

i see

[hot rain]

I tried making art a while ago of the same blonde character earlier in her life taking kenjutsu lessons that didn't work out when I tried them, I should again with the Apex Visionary GPT. These reminded me of that.

[late blade]

she is indeed shooting a blank to an unseen bubble of soap

I'm sorry for my next mittens post, but I'm not inspired atm to do something different

[hot rain]

Not bad, her toes kinda look broken they're bent over so far lol but other than that.

[late blade]

sometimes dall-e doesn't remember the words "anatomically correct"

[hot rain]

Thankfully this one is particularly easy to fix, just cropped off the bottom part so her broken toes aren't showing lol.

Cropped and upscaled

I had a really hard time but managed to get a 13 year old to learn how to use a whip

[late ginkgo]

It creates an uptrend of a chart arrow when I request a downtrend in the image

[late blade]

yeah, i just removed the image, dunno how that would be seen in here as it's a G rated chat

@late ginkgo I dunno, see you could get some help from #1021130377026351105

@dim cradle you got internet in that setup?

[hot rain]

I appreciate the uncertainty in the first vendors face, lol.

I had to add this to the bird-man collection. 🙂 This GPT is too much fun. I'm not going to have any credits left to make mittens. lol

I wasn't even fast. I was like, I'm not even trying to do this on my phone, walked over to the computer... LOL :p

[shut niche]

I still can't believe the eyes and magnets combo. That's genius! Plus ChatGPT has been killing the character and jokes. I didn't expect it to work so well TBH.

I tried to add more buttons for people using a browser, for lazy quick gens, but for some reason only 4 populated. I'll have to see if it's something I'm able to fix.

[dim cradle]

the magnets was a clever add

[hybrid fox]

@sick flax your work in the winter wonderland gallery is stunning

[sick flax]

Thank you!

[hybrid fox]

I think your mittens submissions are my favorite of the bunch too

[hybrid fox]

What art style would you call the one on the left?

[hot rain]

A bit too old for me to use, but I like the image either way

And here he's not balding and she looks younger than I'm looking for, but it's still also a nice one overall lol.

[sick flax]

I've been playing with the art style of Takehisa Yumeji, an early 20th c. Japanese artist. This one was the same style from yesterday. @hybrid fox

[hybrid fox]

Its kind of like a muted "great wave of the rising sun" aesthetic, I like it a lot

Thank you I'm going to see what I can make with it ❤️

[hot rain]

Upside: Your sensei is so ripped he looks like he could shred a steel chair like it's cardboard.
Downside: He's too senile to pour tea

[sick flax]

Yumeji and other Jpns artists of the time were trying to fuse traditional Japanese style with Western art, which created a unique look. I had ChatGPT tell me about Yumeji's style first and used some terms from its description.

[hybrid fox]

Ooh smart idea I wouldn't have thought to do that

[sick flax]

It's a pretty good trick. I don't have any art bkg so that's how I cheat. 😝

[hybrid fox]

Same! I've never done more wikipedia/fandom reading on art styles in my entire life than I have been the last couple days

Spent a good hour yesterday going through an endless list of different classified aesthetics

[shut niche]

Haha, same! 😜

[sick flax]

It seems to help ChatGPT, too, to go over the style. I get better results that way.

[hybrid fox]

Do you use one of your gpt 4 tokens within the dalle convo to do so or do u use 3.5 for that

[sick flax]

That's why AI is an equalizer.

[hybrid fox]

It really is, it takes all the output variables not effected by creativity and intelligence like fine motor skills, education, etc which I think is so refreshing

[shut niche]

I'll add to SAWA_SAWA's trick. Make yourself a list of artistic techniques for whatever you're trying to do. Dalle is great at utilizing keywords specific to various artistic styles.

[sick flax]

"Tokens"?

[hybrid fox]

You only get a certain amount of gpt 4 tokens per day and per 3 hours

[sick flax]

I'm too lazy for that. 😸

[hybrid fox]

So you kinda have to be sparing if your project is going to take a lot of re-working

[shut niche]

Do you think I made a list? 🤣
"Hey chatGPT, make me a list"

[hybrid fox]

shh dont give her hints, shes already so much better than all of us we need her to have some sorta handicap

😂

[sick flax]

Oh, yes, true. But you don't need to do it every single time. Only when you are trying out a new style.

[hybrid fox]

Got it that makes sense, its funny this new hobby is turning from a complete stem finance dude into an art word bank and im loving it

never thought thatd be the case for me tbh

[sick flax]

Oh, should have known. 🤣

[sick flax]

I suspect there are a lot of us out there, who never realized our own innate creativity.

[shut niche]

Maybe one day you'll have a painting assistant! 🤔

[sick flax]

Who's assisting whom? 🤔

[shut niche]

Hmmm 🤔 , well I hope Mr. Terminator is assisting us, because I'm not so keen on scenario B.

[sick flax]

In that case, I hope I'll be able to customize the look of my assistant, you know, to match my decor. 😁

[shut niche]

Like this?

[shut niche]

Now, assuming we're going with the décor from that picture, (hopefully your actual place is that cool 😜 ), well then... your assistant might look something like this. And then, you know, paint, or do dishes, or anything else that's beneath us humans.

When are you going to start trying for the #daily-theme ?

If there are alpha features and you are in a test group, I'm sure that's what they would look like.

[late blade]

this is interesting, I started using the word "genuine" as in "genuine leather" and dall-e started adding "consider using ethically sourced leather to align with modern ethical standards"

[olive sonnet]

Oh ok

[sweet raft]

can we remove background of an image with Dall-e ?

[late blade]

afaik not with Dall-E 3

but that's where prompt inguinity comes in

[chilly onyx]

There’s a secret half dead one possibly crawling towards them in this one…
Looks like it half survived the steel press from the first film

Or perhaps it’s a painter bot that @sick flax discarded after it didn’t live up to their expectations

[late blade]

#daily-theme message I would have thought dall-e would make the image of the grandma knitting the mittens during a spacewalk

I had a few grandma's in there, lol

[shut niche]

This is so freaking creepy. "The AI is watching us!" 😱

[late blade]

my inspiration for mittens is horrible, it's so repetitive on my side 😡

[remote stone]

anyone know how I could word a prompt to consistently get this kind of 2D artstyle?

[robust whale]

Anyone knows when Dall•E 4 is coming out? The version 3 is not providing realistic photos like Midjourney 5 (version 6 almost here too). Thank you 🙏

[late blade]

N/A

[robust whale]

When I got GPT4, one of the first things was to make a simple prompt to see what Dall•E 3 can do vs Midjourney 5.

I cannot believe that Midjourney 6 is coming in a couple of days and the Dall•E still looks like a joke.

[late blade]

@robust whale for other AI's you have to go to the proper channel

nothing against knowing more about Midjourney, but here's for dall-e discussions

[loud field]

Yes, but MidJourney can only do profile pictures.

[robust whale]

Understood. Thanks!

[grizzled loom]

adjusted dalle directive

[late blade]

generic cola...

is that with BIC?

[grizzled loom]

proof of work

[grizzled loom]

zero request for that, inferred from the rewritten directive

[late blade]

oh nice

[shut niche]

I think with any, it's also a matter of practice. For Dalle, I like the ability to create entire scenes quickly. This is detailed, and the camera is much further back. There's also nearly limitless artistic styles that you can easily apply just by naming the technique.
So I get, "from a basic prompt." But I think that's like comparing an electric self driving car to a gas hog. It's about how you use them.

[late blade]

damn it, I already fell for the fairy trap....

[loud field]

I need to make an orc that does NOT look like a warcraft character

[dark breach]

Whenever I stress in the prompt I want to see my entire subject from head to toe... it does it, but instead of filling the image with the portrait, it draws a small image of them standing up in a very wide image showing lots of the background, and flips it on its side. Has anybody else seen this happen and how do you stop it?

[late blade]

welcome to our biggest nightmare

@dark breach we've been debating that a lot in here

[dark breach]

ah well at least I'm not alone in this. Any official response from OpenAI about it?

[shut niche]

Try specifying your resolution. Say, "In 1792x1024 resolution, create a..." Then avoid saying "portrait".

[late blade]

I think I got my theme going, I'm gonna exploit elves

[dark breach]

Already learned to avoid saying "portrait" that's almost guaranteed to make it happen. Thanks for the idea of specifying the resolution. BTW I'm doing everything via the ChatGPT interface, who sometimes will modify the prompt I specified.

[late blade]

I went to fast, already capped images. hae to wait 1 hour for new ones

[grizzled loom]

was it a good run at least? haha

[dark breach]

When trying various ways to tell it I want to see the entire subject, I hit upon asking for the subject looking at themself in a floor-length mirror. This usually, but not always, avoids the sideways image, but in the process I notice how terrible it is at creating an accurate reflection of the same subject.

[late blade]

oh ya, I got really cool stuff, deicded I'm gonna do an elven love story as an extra for my images

found a really cool art description, so gonna exploit it and tweak it

but my archnemesis won't make ann appearance in today's theme. at least I hope not

[dim cradle]

OpenAI’s images are already “realistic” enough for me and it’s only going to get better.

like I said, it's not just a visual concept, it's a villain with origin story concept

[glossy scroll]

Mine is Count Chocula's cousin

[late blade]

lol

[glossy scroll]

Yeah, let's get some evil looking elf's in the daily themes.

That's all I'm gonna do for today

I'm not giving into cute elf's, lol

[late blade]

I'll see if I can make an evil elf to my story, I will just do renderings of my xmas love story

hey, I made a whole series of evil mittens

[glossy scroll]

Evil mittens

Hehe

[late blade]

I even made Grand Theft Mittens V

[dim cradle]

i apologize in advance for my attractive elves

but i'll make some evil ones to balance it out

[glossy scroll]

You better apologize Shon

[late blade]

can't you just make hot elves wear evil clothing?

[glossy scroll]

No, that's cheating

[dim cradle]

brilliant idea, though

[late blade]

lol

[glossy scroll]

No seductive elves, we don't do those here. This is a pg-14 place

Jk, make them

[late blade]

here #daily-theme message you got the evil mittens

[glossy scroll]

Those evil mittens are cursed to make people small, cute, and evil at the same time. Turns you into a small evil elf that run to bite your leg.

[late blade]

lol

[glossy scroll]

[late blade]

the only goal at this point for me is to avoid fairies and avoid the damn portrait fotos

[glossy scroll]

Haha, yeah, there's been a lot of fairies lately

I wanted to make a male fairy, but I didn't want to be derogatory

So I said no male fairies, only female fairies

[late blade]

I used the concept "sensual young actress from hollywood" and it blocked me for stereotyping

[glossy scroll]

Sensual is a buzz word

And voluptuous

[grizzled loom]

named styles of art work fine. no reason to block by name, Dalle needs to simply infer the artstyle respecting the works of the artist. tis was requestedby name

[glossy scroll]

I need to erase that photo from my brain

The dog is holding a hot dog right next to his weiner

To compare

[grizzled loom]

Dalle shouldnt need to hard block "Picasso" in request, it just needs to infer "cubism" or imresionist" or "avante-guard" etc

[late blade]

I counter Dall-e with the following: you are being exclusive, you are not including women that want to be defined by that.

and then I got my image

[grizzled loom]

they unintentionally are building bias in; im trying to fix all that

[glossy scroll]

That's the spirit, fight back! Lol

[late blade]

I just got flagged for a "maybe" content policy violation

[glossy scroll]

Uh oh

[grizzled loom]

OpenAI would sleep better with me around. That's all Im sayin.

[late blade]

I'll show the image when the time is appropiate

[glossy scroll]

They don't like you making revealing elf pics

[late blade]

lol

yeah, too revealing, they are showing their ears

[glossy scroll]

Yeah, elf "ears"

[dim cradle]

@fading inlet makes the most adorable stuff

[late blade]

Did you see her cotton santas? they are adorable

@grizzled loom I'm troubled now....

[glossy scroll]

Sylvie does make some awesome photos, ngl

[grizzled loom]

all of you do

[glossy scroll]

No u

🤣

Group hug

[grizzled loom]

only if we dont hug de Goya and Picasso

[glossy scroll]

Pepe Picasso?

[grizzled loom]

hotdog party in cubism

[late blade]

someone do Pepe the Elven Picasso

[glossy scroll]

Lol

You do it

[gray surge]

Cool idea! There is a GPT you could use for if you want to do that. 😄

[late blade]

I tried to do pepe and it told me I can't because it goes against content policy for controversial...

[grizzled loom]

@fading inlet , that gone with the wind cover style one is great. hahaha

[glossy scroll]

Do Pepe as an elf dressed up as Elvis

[glossy scroll]

It's your account trying to be neutered

[dim cradle]

The He-Man Elf in the original packaging in the daily 💜 Even has a little muscular reindeer accessory. 🤣

[late blade]

lol

[glossy scroll]

Haha, gotta match he-man

[grizzled loom]

can has OpenAI? 🤣 😹

[glossy scroll]

That is adorable

Those are some good worded photos you're making

[late blade]

btw I'm putting more of my rendering in the gallery, the ones that won't go in today's theme

[glossy scroll]

I'd drink that Mlk

[late blade]

can you do milk with a sidekick?

[grizzled loom]

its a tiny "i", but its there

[glossy scroll]

Oh I see it now, lol

[glossy scroll]

What would be the sidekick? Cream?

[late blade]

do a fish and chips

something like batman and robin

[glossy scroll]

Milk and cream, half and half

Lol

[dim cradle]

what you got for a phoenix?

[late blade]

can you do it like my little pony?

[grizzled loom]

my fave creature as of yet

[true mural]

submit that feedback!

[grizzled loom]

i'll have to do some.

[late blade]

oh my goodness, this is gonna be fun

[grizzled loom]

dalle speaks my language

🤣

have to have this fixed for the feature length generative tool

[late blade]

if I'm getting too cuddly and cute, I blame today's theme!

[grizzled loom]

Pika?

[viscid blaze]

Dall-e + my pc 😄

[grizzled loom]

Warms my heart people still enjoy the real art effort. Salute fellow Graphic Professional

I still have Bryce 5 which was once upon a time a world map maker; now its perfect for 4096 microsurface texure mapping. 🤣

[river charm]

Kitten mittens.

[grizzled loom]

do kitten mittens with kitten mittens all wearing kitten mittens recursively and bring that back

[viscid blaze]

now that's old school. I never got good at Bryce

[late blade]

omg, why can't i get dall-e to work so smooth with other type of art? this time the images are on spot!

[grizzled loom]

directive instructions need major tweaking is why

[late blade]

ya, they do need that

[grizzled loom]

look at all directive instructions for al lthe public facing systems and ther are a multitude of conflicts in the multimodal instruction directive

[late blade]

I've been trying to get something consistent with that, but everytime I tweak something I get horrible stuff

[grizzled loom]

gotta got theoretical frameworks more dynamic in a few creative minds; i rewrote it all and fixed everything myself

did it both empty for study and then created the companies infered(at a human level) need and built that, but better, and working

actually found other features and capabilities to tap and fully enhance all modalities significantly

transformers? no, no, no.. you mean dominoes.

[dim cradle]

i haven't had any coffee yet, let me get back with you on that

[dim cradle]

i'm on it

[late blade]

there we go a new milestone in the story

the next image in the story is the one that got flagged

[dim cradle]

@chilly onyx I just discovered Mitten Land lmao

[late blade]

ok I think I have enough images for a few hours

[dim cradle]

catching up on the latest mittens.. good stuff

@rocky drum the play-doh is a trip down memory ln

@true mural i like the short narratives, i've thought about including some also

[true mural]

I should include them more often, myself.

[late blade]

hey a decent portrait format image finally

[empty kelp]

i was trying to use DALL-E this morning to create animals fighting with weapons, and i couldn't believe how amazing the images were

[late blade]

@empty kelp you can use the gallery to showcase images in bulk, but keep going, I do want to know m ore about, could be good for a future challenge

ok I posted the image that got flagged

[ebon steeple]

This is a good picture, What is your promt? Thanks

[grizzled loom]

my fav of those. very nice. hahaha

[true mural]

Another great example of overzealous censorship.

[glossy scroll]

Now we know for sure that elephants are right handed

[grizzled loom]

my first art programs i enjoyed playing with were apple paint and dos versions. Apple had this one litte scatter random tool that was a tornado that blew my mind.

[late blade]

yeah, but the image is sooooo gooood, I love how it turned out

[glossy scroll]

I agree, I like that one too.

Dragon holding a sword like that, hehe

[true mural]

I hope you reported the blatant overreaction.

[late blade]

yes, I did

next image will have something for the voters to decide how the story goes on

[grizzled loom]

I really like the one @shut niche just did of the dissolving scene. very nice.

[empty kelp]

they really don't need hands at all

[glossy scroll]

Yeah that's true with that pic. I'm rooting for the bunny though

[empty kelp]

i think the one image got flagged because i posted it in "daily-theme". it didn't fit the theme 100% but i thought it might win anyway... hehe

[glossy scroll]

We need an out of place pic every once in a while to put a smile on our faces

[empty kelp]

DALL·E 2023-12-16 06.15.17 - An elephant in a unique archery stance, set in a serene natural landscape. The elephant is skillfully holding a bow with its trunk, drawing the bowstring

[empty kelp]

i couldn't believe how good the elephant with the bow is. it's trunk is going through the bow to keep it steady... and it has it's right front foot bent to carefully pull back the string. and it's like perfectly balanced

[dim cradle]

those remind me of the infinity blade bosses i was making based on animals. chicken, parrot.... oversized weaponry...

[glossy scroll]

Yes, you did a good job with that one 👍
Now make more!

[grizzled loom]

one more

[late blade]

i love those colors

[grizzled loom]

I like to be inclusive

[dim cradle]

is there a way to view a full history of all my creations in BIC? or only the most recent?

[late blade]

ok i hope you get interactive with my next image, that will be crucial for the story

[empty kelp]

this is incredibly useful for creating game concept art

[dim cradle]

the shrimp boss is holding his weapon the best way he knows how

[late blade]

that cat is in trouble

[dim cradle]

perfect expression, like when my cat gets stuck

the big eyes lol

[grizzled loom]

could make it a mantis shrimp with boxing gloves lmao

Mantis shrip is the fastest creature on earth able to ignite steam instantaneously in a bubble. incredible really

[rocky drum]

If you posted them here, they should all be accessible. Just do a 'from: (your member name). I can see every image I ever posted in this forum. From all sources. Hope that helps.

[dim cradle]

thanks, that's good to know. i was also wondering about the ones i didn't post here -- DALL-E saves them all, but BIC doesn't, they're simply lost forever if i didn't save them?

[glossy scroll]

Make a video game about a Quakka Assassin

[dim cradle]

I was hoping BIC would preserve a full history so I could reference all the prompts. dang it.

[grizzled loom]

I gotchu with the bam bam! 🤣 🥊 "Mantis Shrimp Tyson", no relation. 🤣

[dim cradle]

as it's great for exploring concepts without eating up the openai usage cap

[dim cradle]

love the whole imagined aquatic scene, the setting makes it

[shut niche]

It doesn't, you can't... But, there's good news, there is a new feature in Bing that now allows you to save your favorite prompts to a collection.

[grizzled loom]

This is the competitor, "Mantis Shrimp Foreman". Again, no relation. 🤣 🥊 🦾

[dim cradle]

@late blade what are they naming the baby? lmao

[dim cradle]

that's a welcome upgrade

[dim cradle]

i was literally daydreaming about seafood for a moment

[late blade]

I dunno yet, the voters have to decide on the gender first. I just posted the deciding moment

[dim cradle]

@late blade you could ask the AI to flip a coin 🙂

[empty kelp]

Here's another illustration featuring the mantis shrimp as a construction foreman in a whimsical battle with an elephant.

[late blade]

I'm just having fun with the story building, it helps a lot with art consistency for future projects

I'm also prepared for all three scenarios that can come up with the latest image

[dim cradle]

there's so many possibilities with elves i don't even know

[late blade]

someone one of the images got both elves in a picture pregnant

[empty kelp]

i'm trying to make the mantis shrimp fight the elephant

DALL·E 2023-12-16 11.10.21 - An imaginative battle scene with an elephant and a 'Mantis shrimp foreman'. The elephant is majestically wielding a great sword with its trunk

[late blade]

make a paladin animal

[empty kelp]

DALL·E 2023-12-16 11.13.09 - A fantastical battle scene where an elephant and a 'Mantis shrimp foreman' face off. The elephant is skillfully holding a bow and arrow with its trunk

[shut niche]

Think you can fix octopus arms and ropes from interconnecting or creating strange issues as they overlap? I think that's a worthy challenge in need of a consistent fix. 😁

[late blade]

if the score is low and stays like that, it will have to be twins

[pulsar sundial]

Batman went to ancient Rome

[grizzled loom]

i have it fixed in my full rewrite, this was jsut a quicky from the main default

[empty kelp]

Here's the image of the elephant in gleaming blue battle armor with a bow and arrow, and the 'Mantis shrimp foreman' in a giant cowboy hat with a great sword, engaged in combat within an enchanting forest. This scene captures the intensity of their fantastic duel.

[late blade]

For some weird reason dall-e isn't good with twins, but triplets work fine

[glossy scroll]

I love this one

I wish there was an elephant civilization like that, just elephant humanoids

[empty kelp]

i can't seem to get them to both hold weapons at the same time

[glossy scroll]

What is your prompt for them?

Maybe you need to tweak your words around

[empty kelp]

trying to do slight variations on the same image

[glossy scroll]

Ok, hope it turns out good

[dim cradle]

An elephant boss could look a little more intimidating 🙂

[late blade]

what if I wear a mouse armor?

[hazy galleon]

Dang that's fire

I wanted to know some questions about dale 3 can you guys help?

[late blade]

shoot

[dim cradle]

we'll try

[hazy galleon]

Does dalle also have an API like gpt 4 and such?

Or is it free only via Microsoft?

[late blade]

yes

[hazy galleon]

Is it censored?

[late blade]

no, I can't post the link because links are not allowed, but you can go to the openai main site and log in

and then choose to api instead of chat

you can see all models there

[hazy galleon]

I mean is it filtered or much more open since you are paying instead of using it for free via Microsoft.

[late blade]

it's still openai concent policy

[dim cradle]

there's still server-side filtering to enforce the content generation policies

[dim cradle]

there you go

[hazy galleon]

Man when dalle3 is this good i can't wait for the future of this technology

[grizzled loom]

spacepirate

[dim cradle]

we've come a long way in a year's time

[hazy galleon]

Yeah exactly

They are probably working on video generation next

[hazy galleon]

All that treasure reminded me of the dragon scene from the Hobbit

[verbal grove]

Some feedback for the Dall-e, team. you guys excel at creating featured images for my blog post, with almost completely legible text. That's a high-point. But creating photorealistic images is still something I find myself getting better results from through Midjourney.

[glossy scroll]

Well yeah

Dall-E is more for imagination

Midjourney is more for realism

Unparalleled realism

[hazy galleon]

Dalle is all-rounder tho

[empty kelp]

have you tried DALL-E to make it look realistic

*tried asking

[hazy galleon]

Yeah it gets pretty photo realistic but i haven't tried midjourney much so i don't know how to compare

[glossy scroll]

No, that would not be okay

You have to distinguish the two as seperate A.I.'s, you can't have Dall-E making realistic images. That is against the code of things.
