![]() Perhaps most problematically, the majority of the people it renders, due to the biased data sets it’s seen, are white. Despite the generally high quality of the images it renders, areas requiring finer details often turn out blurry or abstract. If you ask for something the model hasn’t seen before, for example, it’ll provide its best guess, which can be wacky. DALL-E is still in what OpenAI calls a “preview” phase, being released to just a thousand users a week as engineers continue to make tweaks. That said, the technology is far from perfect. There’s even a DALL-E “light,” now called Craiyon, made by the open-source community for public use. There are many following suit: Last month, Google released a similar AI called Imagen, and a comparable generator called Midjourney, which The Economist used for its aforementioned cover image, was released in beta around the same time as DALL-E 2. “It is phenomenal, what they have achieved,” he says. For the real Cosmo cover, creative director Mallory Roynon placed the logo and coverlines herself.Īll this represents a major breakthrough in AI, says Drew Hemment, a researcher and lead for the AI & Arts program at the Alan Turing Institute in London. The words are jumbled, by the way, because the current version of DALL-E was trained to prioritize artistry over language comprehension. Six images that didn’t exist until right now. And then: Six high-quality illustrations of women, each unique, appear on the screen. ![]() Cheng types a fresh request into the text box: “1960s fashionable woman close up, encyclopedia-style illustration.” The AI thinks for 20 seconds. (Nor should she be ruffled-more on that later.)īack to something more basic then. “It looks like Mary Poppins,” says Mallory Roynon, creative director of Cosmopolitan, who appears unruffled by the fact that she’s directing an algorithm to assist with one of the more important functions of her job. This Cosmo cover is the first attempt to go the whole nine yards.īut the portal-to-another-universe-earring thing isn’t working. Just last week, The Economist used an AI bot to generate an image for its report on the state of AI technology and featured that image as an inset on its cover. AI has been around since the 1950s, and many publications have experimented with AI-created images as the technology has lurched and leaped forward over the past 70 years. ![]() DALL-E 2’s vision of a young woman holding a cocktail. ![]()
