Tips and Tricks to Get the Best DALL-E 2 Results
1. Draw from Others' Inspiration
3. Explain to DALL-E 2 Like It's a Five-Year-Old
Sometimes, the AI needs a bit of extra clarity. For instance, my colleague Sabrina Ortiz wanted to create an image with a Corgi and a Yorkie. DALL-E 2 recognized "Corgi" easily but struggled with "Yorkie" or "Yorkshire Terrier." By using "Yorkie dog," she got the desired result. The takeaway? The more specific you are, the better the outcome.
FAQ
What is DALL-E 2?
Launched in early 2021, DALL-E 2 is OpenAI's AI system that transforms text into art.
Is DALL-E 2 Free?
If you signed up before April 6, 2023, you get 15 free credits each month that expire and renew on your sign-up date. For example, if you signed up on September 25, 2022, your credits renew on the 25th of each month. Unfortunately, new users don't get free credits and must purchase a minimum of 115 credits for $15. You can access DALL-E 2 at labs.openai.com, where credits are billed separately from the DALL-E API.
When Do DALL-E Credits Expire?
Free credits expire at the end of each month and are replenished on the renewal date. Paid credits last for 12 months after purchase. A credit is used only when a generation is completed, so searches that violate the content policy won't be charged. You can check your remaining credits by clicking your profile icon in the top right corner of the interface and buy more starting at $15 for 115 credits.
Can I Use My DALL-E 2 Creation for Merchandise?
Absolutely! You have full rights to use your AI-generated creations commercially, whether that's printing them on merchandise or selling them. Another platform, Craiyon, even lets you order shirts with your designs directly from their site. Just remember, if you download your image, it'll have a DALL-E 2 watermark in the bottom right corner.
Is Making Art on DALL-E 2 Ethical?
It's great that your art is credited to you, but it's worth noting that DALL-E 2, like other AI art generators, is trained on billions of images from the internet. These images have original artists behind them, and while your DALL-E piece isn't directly created by them, it does incorporate elements of their work without credit. The ethics of AI-generated art is a hot topic right now.
Can I Use DALL-E 2 to Create Any Image I Want?
There are some limitations. DALL-E 2's content policy prohibits harmful, deceitful, or political content. Also, many public figures, like Taylor Swift, are off-limits to prevent deep fakes. Even if a celebrity isn't explicitly prohibited, their faces might be distorted for safety.
Is DALL-E 2 the Same as Bing Image Creator?
Interestingly, Bing Image Creator uses DALL-E 3, which is a more advanced version of OpenAI's image generator. The results from Bing Image Creator tend to be more vibrant and detailed compared to DALL-E 2.
*Disclaimer: Before using AI-generated images in your work, consider the potential legal ramifications, such as copyright issues.*

DALL-E 2 is insane! I typed 'a dragon sipping tea in a Victorian garden' and boom, there it was! It's like having a magic art genie. The only downside is sometimes the images are a bit off, but hey, it's still mind-blowing! Definitely worth playing around with if you're into art and AI. Give it a shot! 🚀

DALL-E 2 é incrível! Digitei 'um dragão tomando chá em um jardim vitoriano' e pronto, lá estava! É como ter um gênio da arte mágico. A única desvantagem é que às vezes as imagens saem um pouco erradas, mas ainda assim é impressionante! Vale a pena experimentar se você gosta de arte e IA. Dê uma chance! 🚀

¡DALL-E 2 es una locura! Escribí 'un dragón tomando té en un jardín victoriano' y ¡pum!, ahí estaba. Es como tener un genio del arte mágico. La única pega es que a veces las imágenes salen un poco mal, pero aun así es alucinante. Definitivamente merece la pena probarlo si te interesa el arte y la IA. ¡Dale una oportunidad! 🚀

DALL-E 2は本当にすごいです！「ビクトリア時代の庭でお茶を飲むドラゴン」と入力したら、すぐにそのイメージが出てきました。これはまるで魔法のアートジニーを持っているようです。唯一の欠点は、時々画像が少しずれることですが、それでも驚異的です！アートとAIに興味があるなら、試してみる価値がありますよ。試してみてください！🚀

DALL-E 2 is insane! I typed 'a cat playing piano in a jazz club' and boom, got this awesome image! It's like having a genie that turns words into art. Only downside is sometimes the images are a bit off, but hey, it's still mind-blowing! Try it out, you won't regret it! 😸🎹
