AI never fails to surprise me. Last week, OpenAI announced a new AI called “DALL·E” which can generate images based on a short text description. For example,
Input: “an armchair in the shape of an avocado“
Then DALL E generated a few versions:
The quality stuns me. DALL E clearly understands the meaning of the text and is creative at the same time. Another example:
Input: “a male mannequin dressed in an orange and black flannel shirt and black jeans“
My cousin is a clothes designer and I am sure DALL E will help her design new clothes.
What about unrealistic ideas? Say,
Input: “a snail made of harp“
My mind blows away! If I did not know this was created by AI, I would say this is done by a creative artist!
For us who works in the life science industry, I think DALL E will help us too. For example, when we write some content (e.g. a blog post or social media article), we usually need a nice looking image which matches the content. Often we search in Google or stock image websites (such as https://unsplash.com or https://stock.adobe.com), but most of the times the images are not exactly what we look for. With DALL E, we will have a personal creative designer who does exactly what we ask for!
As of today, OpenAI have not made DALL E to the public yet. I really look forward to it.
