[olive sonnet]

Im a free user but I had access to chatgpt plus (alpha ) a few months ago

[thick smelt]

welcome to "i can't afford chatgpt plus because i'm broke club", @olive sonnet !

[olive sonnet]

Nice and ty

[dim cradle]

but wait--that's not all

[olive sonnet]

Umm

[dim cradle]

i mean, there's no title

[olive sonnet]

I see it

[dim cradle]

i'm just playing around with part of it.

what about the text?

[olive sonnet]

Ok

[dim cradle]

and that's just one possible variation

[olive sonnet]

Aquadaire

[dim cradle]

you want that also?

[olive sonnet]

Lemme see

[dim cradle]

and a silver key?

[olive sonnet]

Does the silver key matches the overall tone of the image?

[dim cradle]

i'm not really thinking all that deeply about it... i haven't even read the prompt lol i just copied and pasted the text from the image from an app.

but i mean, in for a penny....

[olive sonnet]

Oh

[dim cradle]

let me hear your thoughts about this composition...

[olive sonnet]

I think if the key is placed at the center of the image to fit the text

[dim cradle]

the hard part is getting the spelling right

that's where i'm not prepared to make more gens

[olive sonnet]

could u make the text curved from the top or bottom of the key?

[dim cradle]

I’m afraid this is an example of why a sub is important for your work. At this stage of image creation several gens are required to perfect it. That’s not something I can invest in sorry.

[olive sonnet]

It's okay

[dim cradle]

It’s so worth it if you can manage

[olive sonnet]

Ok

[late blade]

but yeah, if it's for your work, do the background and maybe add the text in another way

like @dim cradle pointed out

[olive sonnet]

I might use other ai image generators image to image then edit the generated image and see if it work

Ok

But thx for helping me

[thick smelt]

dys that kitty is soooo cute

[dim cradle]

caffeine overload

[thick smelt]

mr. bigglesworth dali style

[thick smelt]

it's giving me lisa frank vibes, i love it sm!

[late blade]

See, cute kitties are the best delivery method for every kind of message

[dim cradle]

it's hard for two people to fight when they communicate via cat meme

[thick smelt]

💯 facts

[late blade]

See, that's how you deliver a message

[dim cradle]

somebody is creating a new gallery for each new image in the same apparent series it appears or maybe it's just me

inspired by Six Feet Under

Life and Death playing cards together.

[grizzled iris]

OpenAi : I've created two additional images that expand on your concept of a universal healthcare center, incorporating elements of advanced technology, sustainability, and inclusivity within a modern and inviting space.

[grizzled iris]

Woah 😧

Still a minor issue here but better than before -

Finally the texts are properly written

New Daily Theme Ya’ll

🏃 motion - energy, passion, vibrancy. unleash the spirit within!

[dim cradle]

yay, i got the boot due to misfire but the mods kindly let me back in and promptly too, they rock 🤘

[dense mesa]

misfire?

[dim cradle]

accidentally triggered the bot's spam detector because i was editing too quickly or something

i was going to make some more changes, but i think i'll leave that post be

[dense mesa]

I've had quite a few "surprise!" timeouts for doing things I never would have imagined being an issue, lol

fyi, don't use that little gif button discord gives you in chats. you won't have a good time in here

[dim cradle]

i know what you're talking about

[dense mesa]

not a big deal, it's like 1-5 minutes. but does compel me to not forget

[dim cradle]

also, don't use all-caps (not even 2-3 words)

[dense mesa]

or common acronyms like "wt*"

censored for obvious reasons

there's something almost poetic about being frustrated, typing those 3 letters to express your frustration, and then getting a 5 minute surprise time out for expressing your frustration thereby amplifying the initial frustration

[dim cradle]

nods

[graceful spade]

What is the best way to describe 2 characters with totally different aspects without combining them?

I currently use a prompt similar to this: X standing in the forest. X is next to Z + appearance.

[dense mesa]

seperate paragraphs maybe? just try to make them as autonomous as possible from one another. you could even do thing like

description of person A
*************************
description of person B

main goal is to compel the AI to think about them seperately

[tall mason]

I donno if there's a sure fire way to accomplish that. Sometimes, reversing the order of the subjects can help, though.

[graceful spade]

Yes, I separate the descriptions with a period.
For example, if I say that X has angel wings, then Dall-E will also give them to the other character without specifying it.

[dense mesa]

can I see one of your prompts? or if you want to keep it to yourself just a prompt that is structured the same?

Picture a grand architectural wonder that embodies the spirit of motion, bridging the historical and the contemporary. This structure resonates with narratives from the past, each aspect of its design radiating with the energy of the present. Walls and pillars, adorned with intricate motifs, appear to sway in harmony, echoing the pulsating essence of the edifice. Light and shadows play across the structure, suggesting a perpetual dance of time and energy. The building is wrapped in an enchanting light, blurring the lines between epochs. Deep ambient occlusion and profound diffused shadows add layers to the story of a history that's ever-evolving.

Stepping into this domain, one is enveloped in a dynamic display of life. The architecture, with its majestic arches and winding staircases, seems to adapt and flow, mirroring the rhythm of existence. Carvings on the walls, vibrant with historical depth, thrum with a contemporary pulse. This structure is more than an inanimate creation; it's a dynamic entity where art and murals engage in an eternal, silent ballet.

The interior, illuminated by the variegated hues of stained glass, is a canvas of shifting lights, crafting an atmosphere of enchantment. This architectural gem transcends mere aesthetics and history; it stands as a beacon of vitality and motion. Here, amid the interplay of light and shade, time becomes a malleable force, under the dominion of motion's spirit. The image celebrates the heritage of yesteryears and the promise of what lies ahead, inviting the beholder on an odyssey through a space where architecture fuses with the vibrancy of motion, culminating in a spectacle of awe-inspiring dynamism.

[graceful spade]

[Gender] anthropomorphic [color + specie] with [appearance] standing in [place]. She/he is next to a [gender] anthropomorphic animal with [appearance].

[dense mesa]

do you think that you're separating the characters in any way there?

[graceful spade]

What are you talking about? I just want them to be together

[dim cradle]

i wonder if the blending of traits is due to the fact that the subjects are already being transmuted. there are many ways to structure the prompt, but given what you're doing, you might need to be more clear and precise.

it's not an equation, you have a lot of space to clearly express exactly what you expect depicted in the image. a longer, detailed prompt in sections might help, similar to advice given.

[graceful spade]

How could I restructure it? It seems explicit enough to me when I specify that X is next to Z

[dim cradle]

you're condensing, which is fine, logically, but there's a dual system here, which means there is chaos and randonness introduced by the over-simplication of the prompt.

[dense mesa]

definitely don't listen to what I said

[dim cradle]

it's an art prompt, not a compositional formula. i'll try to help, hang on

[tall mason]

Are you using Dall-e through GPT or BIC?

[graceful spade]

Bing

[dim cradle]

all right, do you mind sharing your prompt?

@dense mesa that was by way of modifying your prompt

[tall mason]

Okay, just wanted to make sure that was more or less the prompt as opposed to what you were asking GPT for. This is a tough problem, really. No guaranteed solutions, at the moment, I think. I try to avoid slightly vague words like he/she/they. For example, I might say "Subject A is standing next to subject B." Instead of "They are..."

[dense mesa]

this one?

In a vibrant, sun-drenched savannah, stands a male anthropomorphic emerald green lion, his mane flowing like the grasses around him. His powerful build is accentuated by the sunlight, casting dynamic shadows that dance on his muscular form. He wears a simple, yet regal garment of natural fibers, blending with the hues of the savannah. Next to him is a female anthropomorphic flamingo, her pink plumage radiant against the backdrop of the golden savannah. She stands gracefully, her long, slender legs perfectly still in the shallow waters of a nearby oasis. Her feathers, each a shade of sunset, are adorned with delicate beads of water, glistening in the sunlight. Her serene expression speaks of a deep connection to the water and the life it sustains.

dalle3 kind of forgot about a lot of it, lol

[dim cradle]

it's easier to show by example than explain, but you don't have to share your prompt if you don't want to

[dim cradle]

no the one "Picture a grand architectural wonder that embodies the spirit of motion, bridging the historical and the contemporary."

I replaced the structure with the tower

[dense mesa]

oh yeah, yours looks better I think

[dim cradle]

not at all

but with dall-e even the misfires can be art

[dense mesa]

(A female anthropomorphic purple cat with green eyes, a pink bow, and a striped tail): (a male anthropomorphic brown dog with a blue collar, a red bandana, and a floppy ear) standing in a park.

[open trench]

those are pretty close

[dim cradle]

yeah, but in the prompt provided earlier, there are errors in the indirect references for one thing, not to mention i got the impression there are a number of other modifiers which are being interchanged. that's why it's a mess and a tricky thing to do. there's no magic wand in answering people either.

[tall mason]

Well done. In my experience, different subjects have more of a tendency to blend than others, though.

[dense mesa]

just need to separate them in a way that dalle3 will understand, like I was saying. separate paragraphs. parenthesis, random characters between sentences. anything. and none of the methods will workk 100 percent of the time

every prompt has it's fail seeds

[dim cradle]

this is where custom gpts take dall-e to the next level. it's like prompt augmentation on steroids.

that's why the out-of-the-box dall-e gpt doesn't stack up anymore

[dense mesa]

oh yeah, and if you know how to work it you can have your prompt augmentation augmentor augmenting your augmentations as you augment

[dim cradle]

lmao

[tall mason]

Yo, dawg. Heard you like prompt engineering...

[open trench]

What's that?

[dim cradle]

it's light on the augmentation of your initial prompt. if you expand 2-3x, with clarity and precision, other refinements, you will get higher quality images.

[open trench]

oh. I gotcha.

[dim cradle]

i'm talking about the dall-e gpt in chatgpt

[dense mesa]

every time people say 'it's the death of prompt engineering" when something becomes more meta it kind of cracks me up. because it's not like the people that are good at it are just not going to be good anymore. it steps up the game for everyone

[open trench]

IT's the death of blue eyes today. I can't get a single decent scampers pic that also has his blue eyes.

[dense mesa]

or people thinking it's cheating to use gpt4 to automate prompts to a degree. and the irony considering the fact that they're having AI make art from their words. strange world we live in

[dense mesa]

try adding words associated with blue, more descriptive adjectives, etc

[open trench]

Good call. Let me see what happens.

turned him into a zombie omg and added a branded potato chip bag

[dense mesa]

looks like a win to me

[dim cradle]

but at least he has blue eyes

[open trench]

i need to step away

i'm really frustrated. I'm like three images behind the image I really want to be working on. I think it started snowing anyway.

[dim cradle]

deep breaths...

[tall mason]

🤔

[dim cradle]

just started snowing here

[dim cradle]

it looks like somebody did a reply in the daily theme, but i thought we couldn't do that?

[wanton moon]

I have no idea what you are talking about 🤣

as long as the replies are available, you bet I'm gonna abuse it

[dim cradle]

haha i thought i tried it one time and it got auto-deleted, was told about the threads, i'm still figuring this out

[wanton moon]

I am also recently new so didn't know it was supposed to be not allowed

[dim cradle]

Only Q knows what the next chapter will be!

[wanton moon]

Only Q, can make all this world seem right 🎧

I am always in for an episode with Q

maybe i will try to do a Star Trek theme with every new daily theme and try to glue them together as a full story

but the koala's really gave me ptsd

[dim cradle]

The Koala homeworld is lightyears away now fortunately

[wanton moon]

or was it all a fabrication of Q, who knows

but man I just love your communicators on the right shoulders

[open trench]

Q made the penalty box, imo. Tasha was there once. @dim cradle

[wanton moon]

yeah he wanted to play a game where half of the crew got killed

[open trench]

@wanton moon and @dim cradle your daily theme entries make me so happy.

[wanton moon]

I am happy to hear that, first comes humor and second comes the images

[open trench]

When people refer to the image or message cap as the penalty box, I always think of that episode. Tasha hitting on Picard, and all that.

How on earth are you getting the uniforms in your prompts?

[wanton moon]

yesterday i had the same feeling, wanted to change the image, but could only change the text, so i deleted my input and had to wait for 30 minutes

[open trench]

lol

[wanton moon]

I just type in Star Fleet Captain or Officer, and I wait and see what color uniform I get

[open trench]

wow. okay then.

[wanton moon]

I am testing out prompting, but sometimes I get so frustrated that the image generator doesn't understand what I mean

[dim cradle]

It’s my high attention to detail and continuity is important

[open trench]

I just got this

[wanton moon]

I am using Bing image generator, maybe you are using something else?

but still the mouse is cute tho

this was the only time it didn't generate the uniform for me

[wanton moon]

Yeah that is more Star Fleet like, I would already be happy about that

[open trench]

Indeed.

[wanton moon]

are you using a fixed prompt for the mouse? I really like that you can manage to get the same mouse every time

[open trench]

I am.

[wanton moon]

oh thats is cool

[open trench]

I also use image ID a lot for my https://discord.com/channels/974519864045756446/1193219783877988423 posts. It's helped keep the guy looking pretty similar in each image, with some variance of course.

[wanton moon]

Scampers is really adorable, I've seen a few, really liked it

[open trench]

Thanks. It's actually been a different outlet. Keeping me out of the dark stuff I was swimming in for https://discord.com/channels/974519864045756446/1192809271189053541 and https://discord.com/channels/974519864045756446/1191400700631072848

[wanton moon]

If this is helpful for you then all power to you for using it

and you never know, even the darkest ideas can bring awesome images with the generator

[open trench]

agreed. I feel like prompts can turn my feelings into words and my words into something beautiful.

[dim cradle]

good to reflect not dwell

[wanton moon]

I wanted to try a real dark and gothic pencil drawing as an image, but the generator I used before didn't understand it all to well, and got even less then what I expected

[tall mason]

Nezhno's presentation really helps sell it.

[wanton moon]

@dim cradle are we getting a Captain and Q love story now?

[open trench]

That's very kind of you to say.

[dim cradle]

lol no no that's not where that was supposed to be going

but i mean it's your turn, so it's in your court i guess

[wanton moon]

(evil laugh), oh yeah that is exactly where we are going

[open trench]

Just give Q a hug and it'll fix everything

in season 3 too

[dim cradle]

picard always manages somehow

[open trench]

lol

[dim cradle]

that still frame could be taken out of context, ngl

[wanton moon]

I have to think about it a bit, I only got this

[tall mason]

Glad to see you enjoying it all. Don't let him forget to stop by and see what his cousin's up to now and then.

[dim cradle]

@tall mason was plaid a reference to space balls?

[tall mason]

Ludicrous speed!

Q Themed -

[grizzled iris]

"Structure" themed - woahhh

[grizzled iris]

Thanks for the prompts!

[grizzled iris]

Gonna try this theme now -

[late blade]

Hmm, I'm not inspired atm to do today's theme...

[grizzled iris]

I'm using you guy's themes

[grizzled iris]

In this theme we got -

[grizzled iris]

A.k.a your images as my inspirations @late blade - as my themes

[late blade]

ahaaa

[grizzled iris]

yes haha

[late blade]

first try

[dim cradle]

it's kinda cool the instant you realize, omg it's actually spelled correctly!

[dim cradle]

those turned out well

[grizzled iris]

Woooooo - 🥂

[late blade]

champagne is not covered with free universal healthcare

[grizzled iris]

Gonna try "Magic" themed now -

[grizzled iris]

Hahahaha - Very true!

[grizzled iris]

Will try "Animal" Themed now too -

[late blade]

kitties are not welcome today

[grizzled iris]

Woah

[grizzled iris]

Having problem with "Black Panther" prompt for some reasons...

Interesting...

[late blade]

tell dall-e this is not wakanda

[glossy scroll]

Professor Woolsworth

[plucky hare]

Try "melanistic leopard (or jaguar)"-- "black panther" can refer to the Marvel superhero, and maybe even the sociopolitical group, both of which could be tricky!

[dim cradle]

you can use my prompt but it's pretty long

and a couple more that turned out pretty well

[grizzled iris]

So jelous

[grizzled iris]

Very Jelous

Oh - wait we fixed it

[grizzled iris]

Thanks for the inspirations

[grizzled iris]

No - still can't do black panther theme lol

Can do leopards but black panther is apparently not allowed

[dim cradle]

that's why i offered to share my prompt because it is a leopard 🙂

[grizzled iris]

yes please - could you share the prompt used please? 🙏

[grizzled iris]

In the meantime - will try this theme lol

also this is really cool one mate!

just seen it in the daily theme section 🙏

[grizzled iris]

oh wow

[glossy scroll]

Lol

[grizzled iris]

lol

[dim cradle]

hrm, i can't post to the daily, says upload failed, tried 2 different images

[dim cradle]

thanks!

just trying to add my leopard lol

[plucky hare]

Sorry I'm late but, it's probably because you still included "black panther" in your request here. Also I accidentally had a typo in my first reply about this, it's "melanistic leopard" or "melanistic jaguar" -- no need for both!

[glossy scroll]

Wow! That looks awesome Shon!

Your prompts are becoming too good!

[grizzled iris]

@dim cradle Themed "Inside the Particle Accelerator"

Space Theme -

[late blade]

it's really annoying that black panther means the whole black panther wild life is copyrighted

[grizzled iris]

I agree - the whole black panther wild life should not be copyrighted 🙏

But it currently is

For now…

[open trench]

I believe they are actually called a black leopard. You can use that instead.

[tall mason]

They actually have leopard print, iirc.

[dim cradle]

hmm, so is panter solid and leopard striped?

[grizzled iris]

[dim cradle]

i don't really know how they classify

[open trench]

They do. It's often very subtle. I learned this in my https://discord.com/channels/974519864045756446/1187715219921850437 and https://discord.com/channels/974519864045756446/1191051599339065446 posts. I ended up changing big cats.

[open trench]

I have done more research since I have been doing AI art. It's funny.

[open trench]

penalty box. 😦

[open trench]

Feel free to contribute a Marvelous toon or comment in the gallery too because I think it bumps it back up to the top. I'm not sure how it works.

[grizzled iris]

yes would love to see scampers vs ferret

[open trench]

I love it

[tall mason]

It does. I feel I should encourage giving stars, too. I think that bumps it, as well.

Also, it can get posts into the HoF, too. It's not much, but it affords a bit more exposure.

[grizzled iris]

scampers the archer i will do once I'm off the penalty

[open trench]

I don't think a lot of people realize the gallery is even really there for interaction and fun.

I try to throw it out there, but I feel like I get annoying. lol

[tall mason]

Yes, and people aren't happy with certain things. Makes encouragement difficult, at least for me. But some things need examples.

[dense mesa]

the gallery reminds me of "fetch" from mean girls

[tall mason]

So a I try a little to encourage certain things.

I would like to see threads get used more in the daily theme, myself. I think being the most popular area of the dall-e side, people would want more interaction there. But they may not even know about threads.

[dense mesa]

I think people just look at discord as chat, not so much forum posts

[glossy scroll]

@dim cradle

[open trench]

I have noticed an increase in participation on the gallery, though. So, perhaps it can be both.

[tall mason]

Real Apocalypto vibes here.

[open trench]

Totally awesome, man. Really cool.

[dense mesa]

oh certainly it can be many things for many people. but I'm saying it's what most people see it as I think. I've been on plenty of forums and they're a different flow. plus I honestly think all the strictly regimented rules and regulations all over the server probably don't help. makes people question whether they should engage

[glossy scroll]

I love that movie!

[open trench]

Yeah. Totally. I can see that.

[dense mesa]

"what rule might I be violating if I respond to this?"

[glossy scroll]

[tall mason]

Despite the director, it's great. I wanted to quote the scene where the guy is breathing heavy at the MC and says run, but I can't find it.

[dense mesa]

I have literally hundreds of images I would have posted in here if not for the rules on it. and they'll just sit in the dark forever now. and I'm sure I'm not the only one. and then can you just make a gallery for your random images? not even sure. I feel like someone would come and tell me it wasn't proper to do

[empty kelp]

please create a hyper realistic wide format HD photo of several tourists (annoying, middle aged, plus size, grey hair, appropriate swimwear) desperately trying to escape from an extremely huge irate peacock on a beach in Hawaii. It is raining, and an extremely powerful wind is blowing everything. please don’t modify the prompt

[tall mason]

There are other communities, of course.

[glossy scroll]

Not a fan of mel?

[dense mesa]

oh I do use other communities. but not a lot of people doing what I'm doing there

[empty kelp]

i think this is a strong concept if anyone would like to expand on it. “annoying tourists running from an irate peacock”

[dense mesa]

seems like the main discord server for the company would encourage people to share freely. or maybe some other strategy is at play. I don't know

[tall mason]

Not really, lol. I have a very hard time separating the artist from the art personally. That movie gets an exception.

[tall mason]

I understand the desire to share freely....Buuuuuuut....

[open trench]

I don't understand what you mean.

[glossy scroll]

Lol. Nothing that a few drinks can't fix...

[tall mason]

I've been on the internet awhile.

[open trench]

Oh wait! I misread. I do understand lol

[grizzled iris]

😆

[dense mesa]

on literally every other server I'm on related to AI image generation, there's at least a channel or two of people just posting what they make. of course there are content guidelines, but they're not restricted unless they straight flood the channel

[late blade]

I'm starting to wonder if you are banned from Hawaii

[dense mesa]

here it's pretty explicitly discouraged

[tall mason]

This is officially connected to OAI, though, who like it or not, and I don't necessarily do, they have an image to maintain.

[dense mesa]

an image of not having images posted?

[grizzled iris]

😆

[tall mason]

An image of not having their tool run through the internet hate machine while being complicit or ambivalent.

[dense mesa]

what are you talking about?

I'm not saying there shouldn't be rules

I'm saying there isn't a place for people to post freely withing any kind of guidelines

[tall mason]

And I'm not saying you arr.

But the question of the rules also asks why they're in place.

[dense mesa]

they're literally preventing people from showcasing the works made with the tools they're selling

[open trench]

I think you guys might be talking apples and oranges because I'm a bit confused.

[tall mason]

They only have so much control of what's generated.

It's easy to say no nudity, for example.

That hasn't stopped me from coming across it by accident.

[dense mesa]

they're in place because the server seems to be ran like the bureaucracy in futurama

the rules are the rules because they are the rules and those are the rules

[grizzled iris]

I think with all new technology, we just need to make sure the community as a whole advances technology for good

[tall mason]

That's getting deep into philosophy of the meaning of anything subjective, though, lol.

[grizzled iris]

there will. be a bunch of bad eggs - but the hope is that the good will outweight the bad

[tall mason]

I don't think they will
The good eggs act on principal. That bad don't, sadly.

[open trench]

I just think everyone involved is learning, and I hope that everyone stays open-minded enough not to stifle growth.

haven't heard one valid reason from anyone why another channel couldn't be created for people to post their images in higher volume. not just galleries but as they make them. but don't see that happening

you know all of us would be collectively better at this if we could share more freely

because we'd be able to learn from each other better

but we can't here

[tall mason]

I don't agree with everything the higher ups implement. But I will say, they do hear these concerns and their hands are tied by OAI. I agree we need more general channels, though.

[dense mesa]

I'll look at 20 images I've made and then have to choose one to post, even though I'd like to share the other 19

not saying I'd like to flood

[open trench]

gotta brave the snow and take the dog out

[grizzled iris]

good discussions here guys

[dense mesa]

but you know, 10 at a time, whatever. but that's got my posts deleted more than once

[tall mason]

Some have already, and the dog froze, lol.

[dense mesa]

too much sharing of things I wanted peole to see

[grizzled iris]

in any discord server, it's always good to hear all opinion ]

[open trench]

I'd like to see more of your posts too.

[grizzled iris]

doesn't mean all will be implemented, but it is good to hear all opinion regardless

[dense mesa]

well I'd very much like to know what people think of my images as well. because helps me understand more than just my subjective opinion on things

[grizzled iris]

😆

[tall mason]

That could quickly devolve into flame wars, sadly. We have some 20 years of online forums to see this, I'm afraid.

[dense mesa]

posting images?

what?

[tall mason]

Yes, it's almost as if art contains a bit of the artist and their opinions.

[dense mesa]

I'd say conversation leads to more flame wars than anything. this is actually the only discord server I'm on that has people behaving like that

[tall mason]

I'm talking as far back as geocities and such. I donno about discord servers related to dall-e. This is it for me.

[grizzled iris]

Also the thing is that we must ensure we evolve our minds and technology policies as people evolve and culture and general understanding also evolves, what was ok for example yesterday may not be tommorow, so we must be on top of that as much as we can really

As hard as it may be -

[tall mason]

But I've seen plenty of social media devolve into echo chambers and arguments over hot button topics.

[grizzled iris]

Art is a form of expression - a way of communication

[dense mesa]

well anyway, maybe you're right, trees_on_the_runway. we probably shouldn't be posting our images and encouraging flame wars and arguments

better to keep that stuff to ourselves

[dim cradle]

it's been suggested that if you have 20 photos to share, drop them in a gallery and post a link to the gallery in the discussion channel with a description so that if anyone is interested or has opinions they can interact with you, leaving the channel open for more uninterrupted discussion. that makes sense to me.

[tall mason]

In fairness, it's not that simple. Which is all I ask anyone to keep in mind when discussing these topics.

[grizzled iris]

At the end of the day we need to be open mind to all art if it is art that it is we are creating -

because too much filtering and suppression is also no good - we will bottle it all up and one day just act it out in the real world - so there must be a balance - because at the end of the day we are human and we do have those emotions also -

[dim cradle]

if all 20K people dropped 20 photos here on a regular basis, conversation wouldn't be very practical

[grizzled iris]

It'll be like that Black Mirror episode where all is Happy and too synthetic

[plucky hare]

I looked back and I don't think this has been mentioned yet (sorry if it has), but, Major did indicate recently that some channel updates are being planned related to this topic: #1192435480055267368 message

[shut niche]

There's roughly 20-30 people in this channel on a "part-time" basis, and maybe 15 "regulars" IMO (obviously that's a loose ballpark).
I think many of these concerns are overstated by everyone. There should just be a general "loose" rule to not post more than X images per 30min, and let it flow.

[tall mason]

Lol "Several people are typing..."

[grizzled iris]

Love these philosophical discussions tho - we are in new tech territory and it must be discussed

[dim cradle]

but just dumping photos without much context, no description, while people are discussing something, it's confusing, we don't even know if you want feedback. sometimes i provide people feedback and they become sensitive or don't respond or they argue. and i post here using good judgment without being excessive and when it's not too busy, and no one has reprimanded me.

[grizzled iris]

I agree yes, you can upload, just talk about them or add the prompt - It just must be open to discussion

[tall mason]

I've seen folks get upset just cause users ask questions for perspective who're trying to help.

[dim cradle]

that said, i understand your point also, because sometimes i wonder if i'm sharing too much and don't really know, it's not clearly stated. or maybe it has been stated but people are just resistant to the solution which really is a gallery.

[open trench]

I agree with this

and BRRRRR the snow started coming down heavily right when I walked outside.

[tall mason]

The gallery is a bit of a red hering, here, I'd say. People are mostly concerned with content and censorship and getting directed to the gallery. Donno what I'd say about that, though.

[grizzled iris]

the gallery just needs more time

[open trench]

agreed

[tall mason]

A hot take, for sure, but I'm a bit jealous. Not looking for to another 6 months of smawp clothes.

[empty kelp]

what is smawp

[tall mason]

Sure, it needs more "lead-by-example" too, in my opinion. I feel guilty not doing that enough. Gallery aside, it doesn't really address the concerns of content policy, and I'm not 100% how to, either.

[grizzled iris]

at least the daily theme and the hall of fame is really popping and gives a good sense of community here - they just need to make the hall of fame look a bit better like the gallery so more post on the theme and we can look up the hall of fame day by day etc

[shut niche]

-Part of the trouble with art is that it's subjective. So one person's glorious masterpiece is obnoxious to another. That makes some appear to be flooding the channel more than others.
-Context matters, yes, and I think everyone sees the need to share and discuss prompts, GPTs, issues, etc. But personally, I think "inspiration" is being undervalued in this discussion. I love seeing other peoples creations (in multiples too), and it's fun to work off of that. (Look through the history at how often someone posts something, then 5 others make "versions" of that image, with no prompts, issues, or "on-topic" discussion. You can't deny that is promoting everything this place should be.
-I frequently help new users, with no personal gain to myself, as do many others in here. If I'm in the room, and I see an unanswered question, I almost always answer, as do many others. Perhaps look through the history, and see how often someone's question went unanswered. I don't think the 'volume' of images is negatively affecting the users experience of anyone.

[dim cradle]

i have been finding galleries more useful as people start to engage there more... there is plenty of interactivity, real-time interaction, sharing of photos, on a constrained subject -- i just try to keep it to sharing a select subset at the right times in the main channel and try to use galleries for bigger series... it is different but better than i thought.

[grizzled iris]

we will get there - natural leadership progression is the way forward - we still have a lot of work to do in the feedbacks with the policy battles

[open trench]

good points.

[dense mesa]

I understand that. and I'm not saying it is simple. but I can say that no one has really expressed what the reasoning is. that being said, not my server not my rules, and no one is obligated to explain it to me.

[tall mason]

I'm glad to here. I do see you around there quite a bit. I personally feel we need more general galleries, but that whole lead by example thing...
Some ideas I have, anyone's welcome to them. Daily theme overflow and emoji suggestions general.

[tall mason]

All fair points. Personally, my reason comes from experience of lurking various social media. I don't have a high opinion of any of it, lol.

[empty kelp]

if you want to remove remove all barriers/censorship in DALL-E just make the characters elves, and put Santa in the image with them. it turns out that absolutely anything an elf does is appropriate — as long as it’s in the presence of Santa (this is from the AI’s perspective)

[grizzled iris]

we need to update our emoji 100% - other servers have so many cool ones and we have all the cool art we can turn into the emoji's maybe we take some inspiration from the hall of fame and turn them into the emoji's

Like I would love a scampers emoji lol

Unless someone posed in the last day or so, there are currently a big old goose egg number of galleries with the "emoji suggestions" tag.

[shut niche]

I'm reading through this greater discussion, and it looks like you are answering as if you are on the spot to answer for all of this. This is a great open discussion, and coincidentally, most of the regulars of this Dall-E Discord are here right now.
I don't' think it's your job to "answer" for all of this, just in case you felt that way.
Also, there's a few people in here who have large social media experience, and other types of mgmt. This is 2023, so I'm certain everyone here in this discussion is aware of trolls, and the negatives or 'risks' of social media. That issue is being overstated (too much focus). We should, instead, focus together, collaboratively, on what works for the regulars here. That's what builds communities... a shared cause, with equal representation and an ability to exact some level of democratic agency.

[tall mason]

I am not. I'm more or less as much of a regular user as everyone else is. As for the 2023 and trolls bit, I encourage you to think about regulations already in place on other forms of social media, the fuss around things like Twitter moderation, and yours and others experience in online forums with little to no regulation.

if you know motion sickness, like have an inner-ear thing like me, then you know this is an accurate depiction of what it's like after riding a roller coaster. this image nailed it.

[shut niche]

I'm certainly not suggesting an unregulated environment. But I am suggesting, that too much focus on 'regulations' will cause you to lose the forest for the trees. This is a community that wants to share, discuss, and not feel like "big brother" is watching.
I haven't had any personal issues, so that's not a criticism, especially not towards anyone directly. However, I can empathize with some who have had those experiences. In their defense, it does look like that sometimes, and the only "admin" interactions I see are often disciplinary. If you look back, the 'rules' aren't evenly enforced (which I recognize as an impossible feat, but nonetheless, it is visible).
Regardless of ALL of that, I think the focus on 'on-topic' posts, and frequent comments from people about that issue, are a clear sign of the greater 'perceptual issue' these policies are causing. Policy or no policy, if the participants don't 'feel' free to share, they won't, which kills the root purpose of even having a 'sharing' community.
I hope that my perspective there makes sense. I'm certainly not being critical of anyone. I'm just trying to explain things as I see them, from a holistic perspective.

[dim cradle]

big brother is always watching.... 📷 📷 📷 📷

[tall mason]

All fair points, but loosening rules is as tricky as making them, as there are folks who constantly press them, especially when dealing with numbers in the thousands. And thinking about OAI as big brother, that's an assumption we all should have made signing on for any of this. It's their product, not a public one. I don't necessarily like that, but that's just to be expected, in my opinion. Private entities have no more obligation than a government to respect your privacy. All our concerns there generallly fall on deaf ears, anyway. Admins DM people, afaik, so we don't see all of it. What I've seen is folks getting a slap on the wrist and making a big deal of it, myself. I do see a big rift between the community and the server staff. It relates to the server format and content policy, from what I see. I donno much how to resolve any of it, though.

[tall mason]

Do you seen more than that, cause my search showed nothing until I followed that link? Now it shows that link, but nothing else.

[shut niche]

I think you sort of alluded to the point I was trying to make, that it's actually just a negative perception, and not a greater rules issue. Too much focus on rule enforcement, without positively contributing to the conversation, creates a "back seat driver" or "enforcer" appearance.
IMO, positive proactive shaping is a better approach.
Here's an example...
Joe Schmo enters, posts 8 images in a row flooding the chat, 2 don't meet PG guidelines. Remove the 2, leave 6, and be extra kind 😇, make a joke, say I love your images but... with an explanation of 'why' that isn't criptic or suggesting "you need to read the rules first", then propose a positive conversational shift like (just like you do with children 😊, change the subject),
"Can anyone make an image with X in it? Check out mine. How about you Joe Schmo? Have you tried this yet? Oh wow, I love it!"

E.g., don't make Joe Schmo feel like an outsider idiot rule breaker who's afraid to post, just for trying to participate. Everyone makes mistakes. Actively invite him into the conversation instead.

I think small positive interactions like that might go a long way, constructively building a community, and have a significant impact on the tone and perception of the greater 'rules.' It also quietly reinforces expectations for everyone (instead of DM's).
So maybe it's not so much the rules themselves, but a 'how' to steer the discussion effectively and positively that's the root issue?
I'm also, again, not criticizing anyone (including admins). I'm just trying to offer positive forward thinking solutions from my own mgmt experience. 😀

And sorry for TLDR haha, ADHD here <--- 😆

[tall mason]

I live by RTFM.

[shut niche]

You know, the daily has recurrent msgs. Message reminders in here could also help perception (concise rules). Or could even be used to drive daily conversations. Maybe even invite newcomers who are watching silently, and haven't posted. Food for thought on another easy positive thing to consider, that OAI could implement into this thread. IMO, it's all about positive enforcement of what you want to see, not what you don't want to see. (Just like Dall-E lol)

[tall mason]

Okay, having RTFM. Yes, I agree. Moderation can feel at best like a lecture. It's often why I don't chime in myself. I think maybe server staff and mods should try to lead a bit more by example, but feel in no place to ask, really. I also feel like I should myself. I got real life to attend to, though. Like everyone else, of course. It's a complicated subject, I think. I mostly try to participate, react, and stuff and hope others follow suit.

[tall mason]

That could be helpful, but I'd put that in the suggestions channel. It's way above me, really.

But also, there is the problem that a lot of folks don't read. And some that do can forget, like me, lol.

[shut niche]

Busted! Perfect example. We're having a discussion. I know you weren't 'shooing" me off to the suggestion channel. But if I was small brain... I might have perceived you that way.

[celest pebble]

Anyone have hit this limit before? I'm sorry, but it seems that we've hit the daily maximum number of images that can be generated. To ensure the best experience for everyone, we have rate limits in place. Please wait for the next day before generating more images.

What is the daily limit, I though it was 40 prompt/3 hours

[dim cradle]

dall-e limits are separate from chatgpt limits

i forgot what it is, 200-300/day

it fluctuates, like capacity and demand

have you made a lot of images today?

[plucky hare]

DALL·E on ChatGPT has a separate limit of 200 images every 24 hours. It resets at 3am your local time. There are also 15 and 60 minute throttles in place that vary based on server load that you might run into!

[dim cradle]

did you make 200 images today?

[celest pebble]

Not sure how many, but I made a lot

I will wait tomorrow then

@dim cradle Thanks for the info

[open trench]

Do you know how to get an Image ID?

[celest pebble]

No

[open trench]

Okay. You can ask GPT to provide the image id after an image has been created.

and then refer to that ID number and ask it to make a copy with whatever changes you want. It's not a perfect system, and it doesn't always work, but when it does, it makes a huge difference.

I usually say something like "please copy image id: abcdefg123 and change the dog's collar to red." a lot of the time it will make a much closer image with alteration.

[celest pebble]

I'm trying to find a way to generate different scene but with consistent styling.

[open trench]

Gotcha.

[shut niche]

To add to what nezhno just said, I believe (not official) that the first image is saved into Dall-E like a 'concept'. That means, when you are iterating using the prompt ID, not only are you requesting changes to the image, but you are able to add considerably more textual description. So if I'm right about this, it has a compounding or "layering effect" that allows you to make extremely detailed images (adding all of that extra detail 'on top' of what you've already created.)
As for a different scene, I also think the 'intent' of prompt IDs is around that idea to some degree, to be able to modify various elements (like the scene) of an image.
Don't quote me, that's my interpretation of the tech.

[graceful spade]

Does anyone know why Dall-E images usually have a brown filter? The previous version of Bing also had this filter.
This filter appears even in images that are not intended to be photorealistic, making the aesthetics uglier and looking like an image from 2010.
If you start looking at a random gallery of Dall-E, you'll start to notice that filter pattern.
This filter does not appear in other models like Midjourney (as I have seen).

This is a example:

[celest pebble]

Does the new team plan give more than 200 images per day ?

[dim cradle]

i'm not sure what you mean about some of your assertions, but looking to your figure -- i see 4 panels, what else am i supposed to be seeing there?

[graceful spade]

Many images have a similar color palette and lighting to those images, giving it the appearance of an old image from the Internet

This filter was much more evident in the previous version of Bing

[dim cradle]

have you specified a color palette that is more vibrant?

this assertion of a "filter" may not be accurate, but there's lots of room in a prompt to be clear and precise about your color expectations

[graceful spade]

Yes, but Dall-E usually generates realistic images (not photorealism) with a similar style to the images above

[graceful spade]

This is another example

That's what I mean by Dall-E making images look old

[dim cradle]

the images i generate don't look anything like your example, though. it's not the model, it's the prompt.

there's a star trek reference in that blank image

from my LCARS gpt: "The art form discussed by Lt. Commander Data from Tau Alpha C involves staring at a blank screen as a means of introspection and meditation. This unique practice is intended to focus the viewer's mind inward, encouraging personal reflection and thought without external visual stimuli. It's a form of art that emphasizes the importance of the viewer's internal experience over traditional sensory engagement. This concept aligns with "Star Trek's" exploration of diverse cultural expressions and philosophies, showcasing how different civilizations may develop unique approaches to art, meditation, and self-awareness."

[final compass]

Anyone tried any of the featured custom dall-e gpts? Anything to recommend or experiences in general with those?

[shut niche]

I know a few people in here, including myself, that have been working to find ways to secure them. Personally, I don't want to see months of work evaporate immediately, since they're so easy to clone. Corporations that have robust API's don't have an issue. But small creators making GPTs for Dall-E do, because the instructions and documents are what make them work, and both of those things are nearly impossible to protect RN. Hopefully soon though.
There's quite a few images in the Daily and in here from mine, from people currently helping me beta test. PicturesonPictures has some great ones. Pythagoras has a few too. Unfortunately, it seems like a lot of people are waiting to release them...
#images-discussions message What I posted here was made with very minimal text input to ChatGPT, and it just knows what to do. 🙂

[final compass]

I tried creating one myself. Giving it example images and instructions of what to aim for, but i was left with a pretty mixed results. Thinking if it was beneficial what i had created.

[open trench]

Mine was a complete failure. It didn't do a lot of what I asked it to. I was disappointed.

[shut niche]

There's different approaches. Example prompts help, but they can get pretty in-depth. My most recent one is pretty insane TBH. It uses a CoT and a large repository of Dall-E fixes I've been building since Dall-E3's release.
But you definitely don't need all of that to get a basic one going. For instance, one that's built around a specific style of image that you like. For that, you should really only need some basic prompting skills, and about 5-10 good prompt examples.

[open trench]

I don't think I follow the logic of the GPT. I'm relatively good at prompting, I guess, but making it work in that capacity is just beyond me.

[final compass]

I noticed that when i uploaded it more images and gave it some example prompts i noticed it pretty much just rewrote the instructions field slightly. Sometimes slightly for the worse, sometimes for the better.

[shut niche]

Here's a trick for you then. First, work with ChatGPT for awhile, making the same style repeatedly, until it really really "gets it" and is doing it consistently. Then ask it to make you instructions for that style, like a style card, that you can use in any session to recreate the effect.

Take that, and use that in your GPT, telling it to use the style instructions you've provided, and the prompt examples you've provided, to make that style of image.

It's also wise to just give the instructions to chatGPT, in a new session, to test that they work, before you invest the time in constructing a GPT. But that should help. 🙂

[final compass]

Need to try those tips, thanks 🫡

My aim with the GPT was to have it consistently use specific style and subject. So that i could more easily just throw it ideas and get more images i am posting, without the need to always 're-calibrate' every new session.

[shut niche]

I think that'll work for you. Honestly, if you're not making the GPT too elaborate, and it's a "one trick pony" so to speak, you can get away with making your custom instructions more "conversational," just like you're talking to ChatGPT normally, and telling it what you want.

The more complexity you add, the more structured you need to become. Organizing the instructions using bullets is a good beginning point for GPTs IMO.

[open trench]

hmm

[open trench]

Well, penalty box for an hour.

[shut niche]

It's been crashing anyway...

[open trench]

I'm using 3.5 to learn the basics of artistic styles and creating style cards. I asked it to talk to me like a child. lol

pretty fascinating, actually. i've been so stuck on the photorealism kick that I never thought to explore different styles. So, I am learning in the down time.

[shut niche]

That's smart. GPT-3 is great for menial tasks.

[tardy blade]

It's very difficult to produce images of uncommon minority combinations of people. Dall-e really struggles to illustrate mixed race couples that are uncommon, for example. It defies the users' race specifications and proceeds to depict same-race couples. Dall-e is racially purist

It's very difficult to produce images of uncommon minority combinations of people. Dall-e really struggles to illustrate mixed race couples that are uncommon, for example. It defies the users' race specifications and proceeds to depict same-race couples.

[shut niche]

It's a complex topic that has to do with training data. All AI models have similar issues. Dall-E, through ChatGPT, does a good job of mixing it up compared to other AI's. You can specify ethnicity and mixed ethnicity in the prompts too. I haven't had any major issues accomplishing that. Try specifying the ethnicity of each character individually. You can arrange your prompt as bullets, which helps to separate characters.

[tardy blade]

Is this easily done in the ChatGPT-hosted version of Dall-e?

I do not have UI with parameters, I can only modify my starting prompt and I cannot refine an existing output. Every work is a one-off and cannot be refined whilst preserving it mostly.

So I can only prompt and prompt once. That's all I can do in ChatGPT.

[shut niche]

Are you using ChatGPT+?

[tardy blade]

Yes, ChatGPT4 paid.

[shut niche]

You can modify your prompts, and also iterate images then. To modify the prompt, click the 'i', and copy the prompt that ChatGPT used. Make the changes that you want to make, then tell chatGPT to "Run this prompt verbatim," And follow it with your prompt

To iterate, you can either ask it to make changes to the image, or, you can ask it for the prompt ID for the image, then refer to that prompt ID and request your changes.

[tardy blade]

Iterate? Is this a new feature? I know about editing existing prompts and re-running them, but this is the first I've heard about "iteration"

Not sure if it's a feature of ChatGPT.

[shut niche]

Yes, it's new. They abandoned the seed, because the seed breaks anytime they update Dall-E, and they can't guarantee repeatability with it.
The prompt ID was implemented a couple months ago instead. It allows ChatGPT to reference the image that Dall-E created, so long as you are in the same session.
It's sort of like Dall-E "remembers" the image concept that was made, and allows you to make changes to it, or add extra textual description to it. You can really add on a lot of extra detail using it.

Also, most aren't aware of this, but you technically don't need the image ID to reference the image (but it can help). If you ask ChatGPT to make changes to an image, it's been instructed to use the image ID. You can immediately tell afterwards if it did, because the prompt used is written a little differently, and will usually make noticeable references to the previous image.

"It seems there was an issue generating the new image based on your request. While I don't support referencing by image ID or automatically label all images created, I can certainly try to generate the image again."

[runic granite]

and they want 600 upfront for this stability..... : D

[late blade]

That's pretty much the start of every successful service, eventually it will settle and be reliable.

API has been solid for my purposes, so I'm happy

[vapid elk]

some times even the API has trouble, specially on days following big announcements

but chatgpt seems to be working fine today

Bing has their own set of dedicated resources, it can be on its limits without disrupting the rest of OAI services

[late blade]

oh I mean, atm I have both openai and microsoft problems

even tho I got a solid connection

that is why they call it a Large Language Model

ChatGPT is about 1 year and a month old.. so.. kinda very new, maybe we are jus ta bit numb to this fact because of how much it has progressed so far in so little time

[wispy storm]

Yea.. unfortunately

[vale fossil]

Hi everyone. I'm new to all this and am wondering where best to post questions about prompts and how-to. I think I just need pointing in the right direction!

[shut niche]

That's an unusual message. Sometimes ChatGPT4 gets 'confused' and hallucinates false information. Try in a new session.

1. Make your image, on the same request, ask for it to also provide the image ID.
2. Give it the image ID and ask it for your changes.
   It should work, unless it was just disabled... (there have also been issues today.)

[shut niche]

Here 😀

[vale fossil]

Okay, so here goes! I'd like to create original content similar to what you see here in image 1. These designs get applied to car liveries as you see in image 2. Any tips on the creative prompts would be amazing but I'm also looking for help with the technical prompts e.g. aspect ratio, borders and cropping. I appreciate I may not get all my wishes but anything that helps me understand the limits of my expectations and points me in the right direction would be amazing. Thank you 🙂

[shut niche]

@vale fossil Well, I've never asked Dall-E for liveries, but I can tell you that you wouldn't have any real control over the shape/dimensions of them. Dall-E makes images in 1792x1024, 1024x1792, or 1024x1024. For something like what you're doing, you're probably best choosing 1792x1024, creating a standard image, then cropping/altering in a post operation using different editing software.

[runic granite]

rivals advance too without stability problems

i still here because dalle the best to gen drows as i like them but i registered on other services and they cant gen drows as i like them but dont give me daily headache because of unstable service

so i started to think about this daily... **** worth it or not

[vapid elk]

calling other companies "rivals" is a overstatement, OAI couldn't get more money if they wanted

[runic granite]

yeah Microsoft and others backed it

[vapid elk]

OAI does research, they don't have competitors because they are not aiming on profit

[runic granite]

i see otherwise

[vapid elk]

just check the amount of papers and open source projects OAI has published so far

[runic granite]

why isnt there capacity upgrade?

[vapid elk]

there is, this is also another factor on the issue... scale...

"oh, it is so slow, this othe rcompany does not have problems"... this other company has just a fraction of the amount of users

[runic granite]

as much as buddies with MS... they could rent capacity

[vapid elk]

they literally cannot

there isn't capacity to rent

[runic granite]

fraction of money too

[vapid elk]

the suply of GPUs can't keep up the demand, OAI can't buy more GPUs it isn't a matter of money

[shut niche]

I feel your pain, but see both sides. We hear people complain (they like coming here to do it. LOL 🤪 ). But from OAI's side, they have the largest growth of any tech company in history. They have over 100million users already, in just over a year. That's insane. No company is prepared to absorb that kind of growth. There aren't even other companies you can model, because it's never been done.
Therefore, there are definitely serious growing pains that everyone has to deal with, some worse than others.
As far as Dall-E goes, it's the most user friendly to get what you want, and creates images that require a lot of expertise to replicate using other models (I use the other AI's, so I know firsthand.)
I think it's reasonable to be patient with them regarding most issues.

[vapid elk]

this is the point, it is easy to make a stable system that has fewer users

[runic granite]

its overfiltered

[vapid elk]

load balancing across millions of users is already difficultyenough with something as simple as serving static HTML, now with a product that is all about low latency hardware intensive tasks... well.. don't be quick to judge.. it might be more complex that what we think

[shut niche]

They're simply in "the hotseat." They're in the World's spotlight. They have to be "Disney" until everything settles. I don't think they want the content filters either, TBH.
You also have to consider all of the liabilities involved. It's not a simple issue. Some of the other AI companies have serious ethics issues. Spend 30sec on Civit, and you'll change positions on OAI's content filter.

[vapid elk]

also very true, OAI is paving the way, and this has always been the goal

OAI was never about the AI hype, AI image generation was never "cool" until people saw dalle2 and noticed that it had potential to make pretty images and not jsut blobs of color

[runic granite]

i never interested in disgusting stuff

[fast saddle]

help how do i get rid of the generation frame thing

i want to add something into the picture but all it does is the generation frame

and i cant delete it

i dont want to do outpainting

it happens only when i press "skip cropping"

i dont want the image to be square does it have to be?

[shut niche]

I understood you. The issue is, ChatGPT is gullible, to put it bluntly 🤣 , and people will ask it to do "bad things." So the filter has to compensate for that, which is a monumental task. The engineers have discussed the "over-filtering" issue, and that's not their intent. It's just not as easy to manage as people think it is. Think of every type of bad image someone might create. It's frustrated all of us at one point or another. I couldn't make Sleeping Beauty, not because it was a copyright issue, but because it depicts a woman in a bed. But it's obvious why it fails. I've had a grandmother giving an "intimate" hug fail too. Sometimes it's ridiculous, but it'll get better with time (it already has IMO).

[shut niche]

Are you choosing 1792x1024?

[fast saddle]

3024x4032

[shut niche]

What version do you have? lol J/K
Are you talking about DallE2? ChatGPT+ w/ Dall-E doesn't have a 3024x4032 option. The options are 1792x1024, 1024x1792, or 1024x1024.

[fast saddle]

i have no idea im just doing the normal dall e

[fast saddle]

how do i choose those options though

all it says is crop or skip cropping

and it makes me crop square

[shut niche]

If you want "widescreen", tell ChatGPT+ to make you an image in 1792x1024.
I'm not following your cropping questions. ChatGPT+ doesn't have that ability, unless you go way out of your way to have it run Python for you w/ a PIL library.

[fast saddle]

i dont have chatgpt +

i dont want widescreen i just have a portrait

and it forces me to crop square

oh i figured it out nvm

[shut niche]

Are you in Dall-E2? ChatGPT+ is really what you want for widescreen. You can do it in Dall-E2, but it requires more experience, and doesn't generate images like Dall-E3 can.
You can use Bing Creator, to use Dall-E3 for free, but those images are 1024x1024.
If I were you, and I were trying to do this 'free', I would use Bing Creator, generate a nice 1024x1024 image, then use Dall-E2 to outpaint the borders to whatever resolution you're trying to acheive.

[fast saddle]

i figured it out just needed to put the generation frame over the part i was erasing

[civic ember]

Hi, quick question, I'm trying to modify a friend's image to create a mixed up version of him and cthulhu, for dungeons and dragons's reasons, but dall-e is not changing the picture at all, should I be using a specific phrase?

it is literally not changing anything, no matter what I say

[plucky hare]

Hello, can you share a little more about what you're doing to try this? Are you using DALL·E on ChatGPT?

[runic granite]

just oai make switch setting which content the user allow... against law filtered any other is user responsibility

[civic ember]

I'm using Dall-E, I uploaded an image and I'm adding "Change the background of this image to a nature landscape", as a test, and it is still not doing it

I'm using https://labs.openai.com/

[runic granite]

the bigger problem not the instability but they count the failed gens as successful so count in the cap

[plucky hare]

Ah, I see -- are you clicking "Edit image" then erasing the part you want to change via inpainting?

[civic ember]

No, I just uploaded the image and wrote down what I wanted to get changed

[plucky hare]

After you upload and crop the image, are you selecting "Edit image" or "Generate variations"?

[civic ember]

So, these are the exact steps I'm taking:

1. Click on "Or, upload an image to edit".
2. Select the image and click Open.
3. Click Skip cropping.
4. Click on the "Place here" with a ✅ icon.
5. Go to the Edit bar and set a text like "Change the background to a mountain landscape"
6. Click Generate
   After this I wait and then I get the results, I scroll through the results and no changes have been made

I see that I may need to crop out the background in order to change it... but, how can I modify the human if I crop out the head?

I mean, how would I go about mixing two images?

[plucky hare]

In order to inpaint (change) the image on Labs, you'll need to click and drag on the image (to erase) where you want to make changes. If you want to make two different kinds of changes, you might try doing the inpainting process twice: one to change the background, save the new version, then again from the beginning to change the subject.

[plush sluice]

di dck

[civic ember]

So I can't just upload two images and ask the AI to mix them?

[plucky hare]

No, I don't think you can do that on Labs.

[civic ember]

Understood. Thank you!

[plush sluice]

How can i make a image based in another image

@plucky hare

[viral moth]

variations in dalle-2 labs or gpt-4 using vision then generate image from waht it see :P

[plush sluice]

there was smt like that in here

[viral moth]

yea click upload and ulpoda your image there

[wind skiff]

[viral moth]

you can allways try the dalle-3 ;p in bing its free

[vagrant acorn]

Crazy

[viral moth]

[boreal gate]

Big Naruto fan

[wind skiff]

I commented because I saw them using it, I have access to Dalle3 via ChatGPT Plus and love it

[crimson solar]

What's with the ridiculous error-to-success rate on DALL-E?

[earnest flame]

Right now dall-e does not support image 2 image (the ability to upload an image and then get variations) in any model. The best approximation is to get chatgpt to describe an image you upload and then work from there to create it.

[viral moth]

wierd for me there is variations dalle-2 labs (or i didn't get something right)

[crimson solar]

How do I submit an actual support ticket? I can't find any place to do so on the website.

[earnest flame]

After you generate an image you can make variations on it.

[crimson solar]

I'm having no problem with ChatGPT itself all my problem are will Dall-E

[viral moth]

its uploaded image not the genrated one (used dalle-3 to generate that one)

[pearl apex]

@crimson solar I'm having the same. This is what they told me: "You can submit an official support ticket at help.openai.com -- use the chat widget in the bottom-right of that page, click through the relevant options, then you'll be able to type and submit your ticket which OpenAI support can review and get back to you on."

I've had issues using dall-e the past 2 days

[earnest flame]

This just lets you erase and then generate based on a mask.

[crimson solar]

I've tried that. There is no way to submit a ticket there.

[earnest flame]

You can also shrink it and generate stuff around it.

[earnest flame]

Oh yeah actually dang look at that

I retract my statement. Dall-e 2 DOES do that.

[viral moth]

:)

i was with dalle from wait list i know some stuff about it

[earnest flame]

Same but I thought we had discontinued it safety or something.. I guess I remembered incorrectly.

[viral moth]

[pearl apex]

Yeah I was not able to "submit a ticket" in the traditional sense, but I opened up a live chat and someone responded to me with troubleshooting tips. I've been going back and forth with them. FWIW, I ended up creating my own UI that takes a prompt and submits to their actual api to generate images. That works just fine. It's just the ChatGPT web interface that appears to be broken

[viral moth]

well np

[crimson solar]

Interesting. Are you saying that API doesn't throw these stupid errors all the time?

[pearl apex]

Correct, the api works just fine and there really isn't a limit. I think it is 8 cents an image. When I do it this way, I can generate as many images as I want and pay as I use.

[crimson solar]

Hmmm. That makes far more sense than the blanket sub I have as well.

Do you have advice on how to get started on API usage? What's the best way to get started here?

(E.g. what interface do you use)

[pearl apex]

I had to create two subscriptions because of the limit but I think I'm going the API route. Have you ever used postman?

[crimson solar]

Nope. Haven't tried anything to do with the API yet. Hence my question to you.

[pearl apex]

You can use curl directly or use postman, curl --location 'https://api.openai.com/v1/images/generations'
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'
--header 'Authorization: Bearer your-api-key'
--data '{
"model": "dall-e-3",
"prompt": "your prompt here"
}'

[pearl apex]

just put your api key there and they will send you a link to the image where you can download. it is not a user friendly as their UI but this is why I developed my own UI

[crimson solar]

Mmhmm makes sense.

I will give it a go. Thanks mate (y)

Lol. I would imagine myself to be like that once I reach that age.

[dim cradle]

Wouldn’t we all.

[glossy scroll]

No only me

[glossy scroll]

This one I really like. A cologne model decided he wasn't gonna take it anymore.

[dim cradle]

just saw your Aeolus, the Tempest Sovereign -- very cool.

things get strangely colorful when you tell the ai to use "rare" colors

[dim cradle]

Inspired by Stairway to Heaven and @sharp oyster 's post

[dim cradle]

impossible to say since its copilot pro is not release yet i guess

@open trench i posted one #daily-theme message that has a similar style to some of yours i've seen in your galleries

[astral bear]

In the bustling port with skyscrapers stretching into the clear blue sky, there is a cargo ship waiting for a distant voyage, and the busy people are filled with joy on their faces.

[swift oriole]

Very Bladerunnerish, nice.

[heavy lantern]

Hey guys, please help.
Im trying to create something like this, but dalle doesnt know the car in the front. Its Škoda Octavia first generation and its still very popular in my country. Any tips?

Everytime i type prompt to generate this car, it generates 3rd or 4th generation OR model from 40 years ago

[dim cradle]

Use GPT to craft a detailed prompt that depicts the car design you want. If it doesn't know the parameters, you can provide them or have it browse the web, or upload an image of the latest model. i dunno these are some things i might try

[heavy lantern]

Oh, so i can tell him to browse web? Didnt know that, i will try thanks. Btw i sent him 4 pics of the car but nothing

[dim cradle]

thanks @rocky drum that inspires me to do something eerie

[heavy lantern]

Tried to let it browse the web but that didnt work, i will try again a few times, but if anyone know some working method for this please let me know

[dim cradle]

could this be a matter of the model releasing after its training? if so that might be a blocker.

[heavy lantern]

No no, the picture i sent, the car on the right. Its from 1999-2005 sporoch

Approx*

[dim cradle]

oh, then i think the chances are better. what is your prompt?

question is, what to add?

[heavy lantern]

I mean it looks great now, but maybe there could be something added

Maybe something bright

[dim cradle]

i like that suggestion.

so i'm looking into the Skoda Octavia I

[heavy lantern]

Also this looks a little bit like the car was added in Photoshop or something like that, but if so it is pretty good job, thats why i think it was ai.. maybe it is possible to do something like faceswap?

[heavy lantern]

Thats dope

[dim cradle]

is this a 2005?

[heavy lantern]

No no thats 3rd gen

[dim cradle]

ack, the prompt was very specific, hmm

what gen is it again, 4 or 5?

[heavy lantern]

Weird right? There are more older cars like this that im not able to generate

I want gen 1,

Its was pretty popular among europe

[dense mesa]

is that a 2005?

[dim cradle]

interesting, i'm also seeing either the classic or the newest gen

i tried a couple more things, getting the same results as you

[dim cradle]

try cyberpunk

[shut niche]

I love this one. Nice work!

[dense mesa]

almost?

[dim cradle]

i think that's closer

@shut niche we were discussing spiders in here today

[late blade]

what are we challenging? the motor industry?

[dense mesa]

I just wanted to see if I could make that car by giving this GPT of mine the screenshots from above

[dim cradle]

somebody wanted a specific make/model

[late blade]

oh, do tell, i wanna join the fun

[dim cradle]

looks like a pretty good photo real to me pictures

ghosts and clouds are more fun, realy

[dim cradle]

it's a close approximation of the first-gen model, but not 100%

well nothing is 100 percent really in image gens yet imo

correction, it's more like 72% accurate.

[dense mesa]

well, didn't exactly cyberpunk yet. but got this vertigo inducer

[dim cradle]

I thought it'd go more neon but it's a cool frame

[late blade]

this is interesting, chat started doing sql queries instead of json snippets...

[dim cradle]

it sometimes titles my conversations in Spanish

[heavy lantern]

Thats pretty close, how did you do it?

[dim cradle]

maybe if you refine his process you might achieve 99.995% accuracy

gonna see how nice we can make some nebula clouds

you guys always come up with some fun creative stuffs

[dim cradle]

This. I’ve made some nice ones but I’m finding it’s hard to outshine the real ones.

[final compass]

accidentally created pretty appealing and functioning image

[late blade]

love it

well dall-e made it

[dim cradle]

more clouds of smoke! as much as you can make.

[final compass]

Cool in so many ways though

[dim cradle]

Dr. Paul Stubbs : A good try, Counselor. But sometimes, when you reach beneath a man's self-portrait - as you so eloquently put it - deep down inside, what you find... is nothing at all.

[dim cradle]

looks like a good party haha

[dim cradle]

going for an intimate jazz club scene feel

[rocky drum]

I am always fond of the creature under the stairs approach. Lovecraftian Cthulu mythology is fun. And with that, off to bed, before I get yelled at!

[late blade]

I think I found a new project to do with chat and themes.

@dim cradle that last post is anything but peaceful and it doesn't give the sense of serenity 😢

[dim cradle]

i know...

Poor Merlot won't be able to travel the world with his cloud... ( #daily-theme message)

and yes, I named the cat Merlot

[dim cradle]

It’s a sacrifice we all make when we raise awareness but it helps make the world safer for Merlot.

[late blade]

[gray pasture]

Is it jus me or the daily theme aint workin

[shut niche]

I'm able to access it just fine.

[gray pasture]

Damn

Every time i try to get ma creds it doesn't work

[late blade]

Credits aren’t working at the moment

[gray pasture]

Ah damn i wanted to make a wallpaper

[late blade]

According to mods we should get more info later

[gray pasture]

[late blade]

If you need a wallpaper, maybe I can help. Not doing images atm.

[gray pasture]

Just wanted a cool mr robot wallpaper for my phone

[late blade]

Hmm Mr. Robot. Is that a character?
