DALL.E 2 (Formerly Craiyon and Dall.E Mini )

String combination on a larger platform - goth emporium - daguerreotype

Thanks to AI, we now know what it was like for a postman to deliver Mail Art in Medieval times.

Welcome new member Joey Patrickt - we look forward to your prompts!

Bradford - nie one - he seems to be delivering a fish amongst other things?

The stamp depicted here is doubly rare, so much so that I doubt anyone here has one in their archives. It pays the Intergalactic Rate which is rare enough, but also bears the image of a 6-fingered alien hand. This species originates from outside our galaxy, is 10 feet tall (3 meters per witness in South America, also corroborated with a Chinese witness). The stamp bears appropriate postal markings and is largely intact as issued with only a detracting crease present in the lower margin.

Very nice.  Six fingers definately more useful for holding a ray gun!

Variations of the Irish crisp packet!

What a great idea to give AI image-rendering software; a crisp packet.

I like how the last one has what looks like "NORPETH", almost correct for the Northumberland town of "MORPETH".  In general, the text is getting much better than just a short while ago.  Placing text in double quotations helps.

Here is what 1957 Ford T-Bird plus some other terms revealed . . .

Welcome awyn.

Loving these  variations and wondering what the prompts were. Experiments by awyn reminds me that the North West Phillumenists will be hopefully returning soon. Great fun sorting though all their stamps. Bradford - the cat on the tin of sardines?  most bizarre!

I KEEP ALL MY LETTERS IN A TREASURE CHEST

I like the one where he's balancing the umbrella on his nose - even Gene Kelly missed that opportunity in "Singing In The Rain" .  Altogether a nice set of stamps Awyn.  The treasure chest is amazing and very 3D - really jumps off the screen Bradford!  Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, that's DALL-E (not crAIyon).

BIG NEWS!  DALL-E has "inpainting" which will augment an image such as when you delete something you don't want in the picture, but announced "outpainting" such as when you want to extend an image to make it larger according to the rendering style already employed.  I haven't played with "edits" yet on DALL-E.

Thanks for the reminder Bradford.  I have changed the title of the group. I expect it will change again.  Not tried the "outpainting" yet and barely touched on the edit or other functions.

Well, "outpainting" debuted today, but the demand was chompin' at the bit and overwhelmed the site which crashed about 5 hours ago.  The good news is that they gave everyone who has accepted the DALL.E invite 50 free credits as a "sorry 'bout that".

Tried the "outpainting" but rather baffled by it I must admit - need a tutorial to show me what all the buttons do!  Maybe there s one on YouToob - will have to look.

Awyn , yes DALL E. 2 is in Beta right now. You had to sign up for it. Not sure if you still can.  Its getting more sophisticated. Here's my latest effort using the new "over painting" thingy  where you can stretch the image and add bits and rub bits out.

Cheers Bradford.  Yes, slowly getting the hang of it. Here's another of some ruins I did this morning. Not really how I intended but interesting all the same!

My sister in laws phone calls about her blocked toilet influenced these pompts -

AI generated postage stamps

These look like the real thing Mick.  Thanks for sharing.  I seem to have lost interest in artifical intelligence just lately but wiull get back to it soon. I still have a few credits.

Merry Crimble!

Hi everyone, so glad to have found the group as most people panic at anything that has to do with AI, as a professional artist I find it absolutely intriguing as to the possibilities of what lies into the future for us all, let's embrace this understand it and be able to live with it:) any comments

Welcome ThomasB - Thanks for joining us.  Yes, not a great deal of interest in AI  here on IUOMA  it has to be said!   Even the members of this group seem bored with it now after an initial flurry of activity?  Anyway, I do find it intriguing and it amuses me to dabble in it from time to time as you can see.  Have you tried any other AI  apps and what, if any, are the differences between them?  Craiyon seems very bad at doing faces or maybe it's my prompts that are too vague?  Here's a new one -

NEW BETA MODEL RELEASED

This is a completely brand new model. You are the first beta testers (other than us and our moms) to try this model! Highlights include:

– More knowledge

– Increased resolution and much much better quality

– Improved faces

– We're still training the model, meaning the images will be improving every day

Learned about midjourney before dalle and it pulled me in, so I haven't had much experience with dalle. A set of ten images relating to intergalactic mail art from July 2022, using Midjourney AI.

Thanks Thomas , Bradford and Adam - great images.  I have rather lost interest in Dalle 2 and Craiyon.  Nice toys to experiment with but I must admit I prefer cutting up bits of paper and gluing them on other bits of paper - the effect is just as strange  and interesting for me!

I agree. Those programs are just a fun gimmick. The novelty wears off pretty quickly. I'd never pass them off as 'art.

It's understandable. I'd still be playing with Midjourney if I had the extra time and money. Not giving up on it yet. The main problem for me was that it could be a lengthy process of experimenting with prompts and refining results and then MAYBE it would give you what you were looking for or close enough to it. I got plenty of great images out of it, but the rate was probably 100 great images to several thousand images I wouldn't consider sharing because of so many things that were off by a little or a lot. Guess I'll get back to drawing by hand. 

As you can see I've not given up on the ai  completely yet. Still some fun to be had - making space age LP sleeves.

Looking good, Michael!  It looks like the stuff in auction lots of vintage music & film posters/packaging.

Cheers Bradford - yes it does look like that -  but where did that floating tent come from?  I love the colours especially. 

it for AI

doomed

and so.......

Impressive Gifs Carl _  no idea how that was achieved!  I guess we all need one of those hats Bradford  - my tin foil fascinator was lost many years ago.

ML, these are midjourney images from unprompt and altered with gif,

still new to generating images, really just play, lets animate.

Thanks Carl and welcome to the group BTW.  Not tried midjourney yet.  Impressed by your results.  Cheers!

The one I posted was a prompt in DALL-E2 inspired by Bhomas Trown's avatar.

So, didja get any Mail Art today?

Craiyon V3 (version 3) debuted this afternoon.

Bradford - thanks for the info.  is this version much different to the last? I will have to try it if they let me!
