DALL-E Does Dallas

[Taylor Bennett Jr.]

I bet a lot of you have seen people post images generated by the AI project DALL-E, and perhaps have made some of your own.

DALL·E 2 is a new AI system that can create realistic images and art from a description in natural language.

But have you ever seen or tried to make any Dallas-themed ones?

I wasn't having much luck at first, and I don't think rendering specific characters from an older TV show is its forte, but it's still fun to try... Perhaps more apropos for for Halloween than I'd intended, I give you "a computer-generated image of Bobby Ewing and Guzzler Bennett throwing a football"

I must admit after watching this YT video a while back I'm quite fascinated by Dall-E, what it can do, and the potential ramifications of that. It's actually kind of mind blowing.

But from what I understand you need to go on a waiting list for an invite to use it. Did you have to wait long to get access to it?

Those are cool. The house looks more like Pam's before she remarried Bobby IMO

I got straight in yesterday, no more waiting list. I used the 'sign up with your google account' option. You get 50 free ‘credits’ to create images, which I blasted through in like an hour. After that, you can buy more credits.

...blasted though my credits with masterpieces like "Painting of Jock Ewing on an Elephant", that is...

I like how there's a little pond that's kind of like a cross between the Southfork pool and that awful pond that Ray threw Pam into in Digger's Daughter

I thought it was a kangaroo, as in "Dallas Down Under".

Southfork probably has a guest room large enough to host this creature.
