This AI Program Can Draw Impressive Images Of Whatever You Tell It To
A new AI program is wowing the public with its ability to draw realistic and creative pictures from a mere text description.
The program is called DALL-E 2, and it comes from the San-Francisco based OpenAI research lab. On Wednesday, the lab introduced the AI by showing off the art it’s able to generate.
The results are impressive, and make us wonder if this is the future of image editing. For example, if you tell the AI to draw “a koala dunking a basketball,” DALL-E 2 will do just that by creating a photorealistic image of the animal flying through the air to a basketball hoop.
The AI can also edit existing photos by replacing the imagery inside. For example, if you type in “cute cat” for a dog photo, DALL-E 2 will transform the canine into a kitty.
In addition, the program can look at an original image and create different variations of it in the same style.
OpenAI created the DALL-E 2 by programming the AI to study existing images, which have been labeled with a text description explaining the person, animal or items depicted. Through “deep learning” training, DALL-E 2 can not only recognize what it’s inside an image, but also attempt to replicate it.
OpenAI introduced the first version of DALL-E back in January 2021. However, the second iteration has been upgraded to draw the pictures more accurately and with higher-resolution art quality.
It's also important to note DALL-E 2 can draw pictures of things that don't technically exist in the real world. For example, if you tell it to draw “monkey paying taxes,” the AI is smart enough to generate the animal facing a computer, even though it’s never encountered such an image during the training process.
The CEO of OpenAI Sam Altman said the DALL-E 2 represents a
