DALLE-2 AI Variant Animation #1

Every single image in this video was created by the AI called DALL·E 2 from OpenAI from just one initial text prompt “A bad photo”

The first photo of the blurry hand is the "bad photo" it came up with.

From there all I did was request variations, and choose the variant I liked the most, then ask more more variants, repeat. I never gave it any more text prompts. I would subtly try to “guide” it toward aesthetics I like. I also tried to pick variants that I thought would change things.

I'm really shocked by the vast range of styles and aesthetics it's capable of. Especially without any explicit direction. Some of the images are ugly but I love many of these, I wish I had made them.

I have a longer thread about this on Twitter:

The song played is Daisy Bell, the first speech synthesis from a computer made in 1961. Astonishing Alan.

I like how most molecules displayed more or less correctly, white small hydrogen atoms have one bond and big black carbon atoms have three or four bonds. You could also see something resembling benzene ring.

This would be an amazing showcase of the potential in artificial intelligence, but the fact that Alan uploaded it makes it unsettling.

I really love the part when the AI starts to make freaking bikes and Brazil flags 😂

[kemoni]

Funny how the machine goes from fidget spinners, through Brazil, to human skulls

Interesting how it gets stuck in "molecules at the beach" for a long time.

I love the gradual shift towards more realistic shading in those beach images. This is incredible & very inspiring!

[legatelaurie]

It's amazing just how much of this is passable as art. There are so many brilliant applications for it, it's really amazing

[Dougie-Jones]

In typical Resnick fashion, it ends with some uncanny digital head thing. thank you again

0:47 Woah DALL-E 2 is lowkey throwing it BACK with that thiccness. This AI needs to chill.

[UltraVitamin]

This is really cool but what would be even cooler would be to add a morphing animation/transition between each picture instead of just going straight to the next picture. That would look so trippy

[amber]

Love this! The fast pace of big tech AIs is concerning, but at least we have people Alan to make cool stuff with it for now

[SCWood]

I really don't like how skilled AI is getting

Artificial Intelligence Takes Psychedelics So You Don't Have To

[Cynadyde]

How it started: We are on a tour of hydrocarbons at the beach
How it ended: We get lost and are taken to Brazil

[Kids_Scissors]

1:06 I love that somewhere along this one, the ai made a Klein bottle

[kirtil]

i love the way the fidget spinner almost transitioned into a ball bearing, the thing inside the spinner

[somerandmpersn]

i love how it just makes a motorcycle for no reason

It's learning quickly. I feel like a dad watching his child taking its first steps.
