OpenAI DALL-E 2 - Top 10 Best Images! 🤯

Dr. Károly Zsolnai-Fehér showcases ten standout images from OpenAI's DALL-E 2, including a koala on a motorcycle, a dabbing walrus, and robotic self-portraits. He explains how the diffusion-based model works and compares it to human artists and the original DALL-E.

Dear fellow scholars, this is two minute papers with Dr. These amazing images were all made by an AI called Dall? E 2. This AI is endowed with a diffusion based model, which means that when we ask it something, it starts out from noise and over time it iteratively refines this image to match our description better. And over time, magically, an absolutely incredible image emerges. And this is a neural network that is given a ton of images to train on and a piece of text that says what is in this image? That is one image caption Pair Dall? E2 is given millions and millions of these pairs. So what can it do with all this knowledge? Well, the key takeaway here is that it does no or very little copying from this training data, but it truly comes up with novel images. How? Well, after it had seen a bunch of images of koalas and separately a bunch of images of motorcycles, it starts to understand the concept of both and it will be able to combine the two together into a completely new image. And luckily, due to the generosity of OpenAI, I also have access and I tried my best to push it to the limits. For instance, it can also generate an image of you fellow scholars marveling at this paper or in the process of reading an even more explosive paper. So good. I also tried this Fox Scientist in an earlier episode and it came out extremely well with tons of personality. And hold on to your papers because due to popular request you are getting some more variants from my experiment with it. And Dolly 2 did not disappoint. This character can be recreated as a beautiful sculpture with several amazing variants or in Dragon Ball style. And it is also a true merch monster. But earlier we also tested it against the works of real artists. My opinion is that it is not yet as good as a world class artist. Here are some tests against Judit Shomojwari's work. And it is also not as good as the King of all donuts, Andrew price. However, Dall? E2 is able to create 10,000 images every day. That is a different kind of value proposition. So we asked after these amazing results, does it really have more surprises up the sleeve? Oh boy. By the end of this video you will see how much of a silly question that is. So today we are going to have a look at 10 recent amazing results, some of which are from prompts that I ran for you on Twitter. Lets see, for instance, this one is from one Schrodinger's cat. Gripping the latest research papers, loving the glasses and the scholarly setting and wait a minute, don't eat Them. Come on. What results are you trying to hide? We will never know. 2. This is a screaming tiger trading cryptocurrencies. And yes, you are seeing correctly. The meme game is strong here. The resemblance is uncanny. So good. 3. I am always curious about what it thinks about itself. Let's ask it to make a self portrait of itself looking in the mirror. Well, it identifies as a robot. Ok, got it. That makes sense. And it is also a penguin. Excuse me. And a robotic frog too, that seems to be surprised by its own existence. How cool is this? Also food for thought. 4. It can create battle maps for tabletop role playing games. And I bet variants of these will also inspire some of you fellow scholars to dream up amazing new board games or even video games. 5. We can't have enough cats, can we? This is one falling into a black hole. I love how expressive the eyes are. The first two seem quite frightened about this journey first time, right? But the third one, this chap seems really confident. And I love how it also inspired you fellow scholars with the memes that are now starting to appear on on these Dall? E2 images. Keep the game going. 6. I now introduce you to the king of life, a dabbing walrus with sunglasses. This one here is an excellent testament to the creative capabilities of Dall? E 2. Clearly its training set did not contain images of walruses in sunglasses and much less ones that are dabbing. It made this thing up all on the spot. What a time to be alive. 7. If you think that this world is a simulation and you wish to see what it looks like from the outside, Dolly2 has you covered. Oh yes. Now. 8. Let's put it to the real test with Noam Chomsky's classic sentence. Here goes. Colorless green ideas. Sleep furiously. He put this together to show that you can create a sentence and that is grammatically correct, but semantically it is complete nonsense. No meaning whatsoever. Well, Dall? E2 begs to differ. Here are its ideas. This idea seems colorless with a bit of green paint from the bed. And it seems that it was asleep and it is now furious. This one makes me feel that the AI can create anything. A true creativity machine. So, nine. Anything you say. Well, this one is from the amazing Dolly2 subreddit and it showcases Bob Ross painting himself in infinite recursion. This is one of the most impressive prompts I have seen yet. Wow. 10. I really wanted to make a squirrel with a malfunctioning laptop. I tried to push Dall? E 2 to the limits in creating this with a huge variety of different styles and to say that I was not disappointed would be an understatement. Look at these beautiful results. My goodness, it can do Disney style cartoon style oil paintings. I feel like this can do absolutely anything. And plus one because I can never resist. This is Kermit the Frog in Fight Club. Oh yes. It seems to me that he went for the method actor route and made the roll his own. Better not mess with this guy. And you know what, if you have been holding on to your paper so far, now squeeze that paper. Four plus two I hear you asking, why are you posting the thumbnail of an earlier two minute papers video here? What is this? Is it possible that oh yes, that is exactly right. Quite a few of our last thumbnails were made by Dall? E2. What a time to be alive. My wonderful wife Felicia Zsolnai does the rest of the design work on these gorgeous thumbnails. I absolutely love them. She is so good, not only in graphic design but but her pencil drawing was also compared to Dall? E2 and she was one of the amazing artists who was able to beat it. At least in my opinion. So as you see, Dall? E2 is transforming the world around us and fast. Just a couple years ago I was wondering whether we could take an AI, just say what we want and get a high quality thumbnail for our videos. And I thought, well, maybe in my lifetime, by the time I become an old man, perhaps such a thing would exist. And boom, just a couple more papers down the line and here we are. I truly cannot believe how good these results are. What a time to be alive. And don't forget, this was what Dall? E1 was capable of just a bit more than a year ago. And now one more paper down the line and the results are outstanding. I Wonder what Dall? E3 will be capable of. I bet it is already in the works. So does this get your mind going?
