OpenAI has developed an AI image creator in the form of DALL·E, a system that can create realistic images and art from natural language. This type of Artificial Intelligence (AI) system is referred to as a transformers-based language model, and DALL·E’s key underlying technology is variant of this model. To use the AI image creator, simply type in a description of what you would like it to create. This could be anything from a koala bear playing basketball to a polar bear playing the bass guitar. Users can also make realistic and context-aware edits, like retouching a specific section of an image or altering it in creative ways.
Once signed up, users receive 15 free credits per month to access the AI image creator service. Any additional credits must be purchased in packages, and each credit can be used for one DALL·E request to generate an image, edit or variation.
OpenAI’s goal in creating DALL·E, is to empower people to communicate, express and share their ideas and creativity through collaborative AI-generated art and visuals. It works by understanding a text description, and then applying diffusion principles to gradually build a pattern from a set of random dots until a final output is reached. In its most simple form, it is a program that can take language inputs and transform them into images.
OpenAI was founded by a group of tech pioneers, including Elon Musk and Microsoft co-founder, Paul Allen. Together, they are focused on researching and developing advanced AI solutions to benefit humanity. This cutting-edge AI technology embodies the team’s commitment to bringing AI into the mainstream in a responsible and meaningful way.
The name DALL·E was chosen to combine the artist Salvador Dalí with the Pixar character, WALL-E. The AI image creator was first introduced back in January 2021, and currently has potential applications available in fields such as art and design, advertising, and the entertainment industry. DALL·E is an impressive step forward in AI’s ability to take natural language and generate visual content.
For users interested in non-commercial purposes, OpenAI has an easy-to-use signup and setup process. Then, with the assistance of DALL·E’s AI image creator, users can create unique visuals that have never initially existed. DALL·E has created a new level of creative diversification, and now people can bring previously unheard of visuals to life, with the help of Artificial Intelligence technology.
