In my humble opinion, it is actually very difficult to generate art with AI. I find myself more critical of outputs I generate through Dall-E than VQGAN, STYLEGAN, etc. Maybe, it is because I feel more control with weights or other fields, or maybe, it is because I spend hours even days rendering something, trash binning, and sometimes, changing things up in Blender, Gimp, and/or with other scripts. I don’t know.
Dall-E IS an amazing tool. Midjourney as well. It cannot be denied. It is wonderful to see words create something out of thin air and in mere seconds it seems. But so far, I have not created a piece I have connected with for some odd reason…
I’ve decided to mint a second Dall-E piece (first mint was a gift to an artist I admire) because of my sheer awe of Dall-E and AI in general. I think this may be my last mint since I gather there will be thousands more, if not hundreds of thousands more by other artists soon, and there are far better prompteurs or prompt engineers out there than I. I did not mint any Midjourney pieces by the way.
What I do plan to do is explore the Dall-E API, and how I can apply it to another projkt... I really do hope you enjoy this piece. I think it is the best I could do as an output straight from Dall-E.
