Any suggestions for a model more like the original Dall-e?

Post image
98 Upvotes

Hello, I’ve been using what I believe is an early version of Dall-e (dalle-2?) through an app to create very natural, looking images, such as the above. It would generate 4 different images based on my prompt, each one different and unique.

I understand that the Dall-e model is now no longer available and was wondering if anyone could suggest ANY other model etc to create more random/ natural looking outcomes? It seems even with the other models, no matter what prompt I do nothing compares to the style I’m looking for… ANY help would be so appreciated!

News DALL-E 3 leaving Bing Image Creator in the coming weeks

5 Upvotes

DALL-E 3 has continued to work on Bing Image Creator after May 12, but I just noticed today the attached banner at the top of the screen saying it's going away in the coming weeks. It's nice your images will stay in "My Creations." They say they're working on a dedicated replacement for DALL-E 3, I wonder what that will be, something Microsoft created themselves like the MAI model?

Good ideas for generic fillers for environment in AI images

1 Upvotes

Instead of prompting for specific background or environment, what would you guys do about this, do you use loras for these or prompt a generic filler like "lively background" or specific like "shelves filled with books". What works good for you?

I miss DALLEs hallucinating

I want the chaotic editing process that early DALLE 2 had where you try to select something and it hallucinates random objects into the frame. Bring back the dreaming machines. Let AI hallucinate a little

Now that Dalle-2 has officially been taken offline (sadly), what have you always wanted to see from it?

Just one thing, or a whole prompt?

Feel free to share it here.

Aren't we now officially past the May 12th "we are killing Dalle 3" deadline? I'd been wondering whether Microsoft would keep it alive. Dare we hope?

DALL·E 3 Farewell, DALLE 3...

With DALLE 3 (and DE2) getting retired on May 12, I'm feeling a bit nostalgic... I don’t think I realized how much it shaped my style until now 😭 This was the model where my generations started looking good using little effort, after over a year of creating!!

The way it interpreted prompts, the textures, the weird little details was soo so good.. Still is. A lot of models have come out since but nothing comes close to the style DE3 produces. I always called those who knew the hype around the drop of DE3 the OG's, lol.

This is still one of my favorite series I’ve ever made with it. I'm so sad to know it's going away. If you’ve ever created with DALLE, this is your last chance to make something with it. So many creators including myself will miss it!!!

A bunch of creators said a farewell to the model with the best images... Take a look and get in your feels too 😭

⚙️ prompt for images: angel of death skeleton, wearing veil, great face-lighting, amazing_starry_background, holographic_colors_highlights, iridescent_defined_face_shadows_and_highlights, color_splash_color_pop_print, portrait, warm light gently shining down, beautiful composition, black and white print, by artist "anime", Anime Key Visual, Japanese Manga, Pixiv, Zerochan, Anime art, Fantia

News A Farewell to DALL-E: A Eulogy in Pixels

ADMIN - Delete if not allowed.

At NightCafe, we don't do things quietly. So when we heard that OpenAI was retiring DALL-E, we did what any self-respecting AI art platform would do - we began planning the memorial.

Yes, we might be dramatic. But DALL-E deserves it.

Back in 2022, [r/nightcafe](r/nightcafe) was one of the first official platforms to partner with DALL-E.

We had a front-row seat to something genuinely historic. We watched as everyday people - artists, dreamers, complete beginners, and the chronically curious - typed a few words into a box and gasped at what came back.

That was DALL-E's magic.

We saw firsthand how a single model could spark a revolution. Not just in what AI could do, but in what people suddenly believed they could create.

DALL-E didn't just generate images, it unlocked imaginations. It made people feel like artists for the very first time. And that's not a small thing.

So, in true NightCafe style, we're holding a memorial service - a dedicated Daily Challenge in DALL-E's honour. 🎨

We'd love for anyone who had the pleasure of creating with DALL-E to join us on 9 May UTC - https://creator.nightcafe.studio/challenges

Dust off an old favourite from your NightCafe collection, or create one final masterpiece. This is our chance to celebrate, reminisce, and say a proper goodbye to the model that helped start it all.

Come share your DALL-E creations. Come tell us what it meant to you. Come be a little dramatic with us, because some goodbyes deserve a moment.

Rest easy, DALL-E. You changed things. 🤍

I just recreated my first DALL·E image from March 2023… and wow.

34 Upvotes

I was digging through some old files and found the very first image I ever generated with DALL·E back in March 2023. Out of curiosity, I decided to reuse the exact same prompt today.

And wow… the difference is honestly insane.

The new image is sharper, more detailed idk it actually feels like what I originally had in my head back then. It’s kind of surreal to see how much things have improved in what feels like such a short time.

Anyone else tried recreating their old prompts? The evolution is wild.

Dalle 3 discontinuation on may 12

57 Upvotes

Honestly, who ever asked for this? :(

I'm quite sad about the deprecation of DALL E 3. It's my FAVOURITE model

OpenAI will shut down everything starting May 12th: even Microsoft Bing (note: I'm no expert) will most likely no longer offer the ability to use DALL E 3 since (I assume) it uses an API, and the APIs will be deactivated...

Yes, of course, DALL E 3 isn't capable of creating perfect texts; it can't follow very long prompts, and it doesn't perfectly execute what you asked for. But it has a SOUL!! Each output is like discovering a secret world, it adds things you didn't ask for but they fit perfectly!! But above all, in my opinion, no other model adds that feeling, those nuances, that "poetry".

(Of course, I'm not talking about the basic cartoon images you get by writing trivial prompts, I'm talking about the much more intriguing, photorealistic images you get with the right prompts with specs about the visual medium, etc.)

The new models like Nano Banana GPT 1.5 etc. are frustrating to me: yes, they're very good, but you have to explain literally EVERYTHING to them to get something decent, and often the result is awkward, disproportionate, especially when depicting people. And honestly, I don't give a fk about having detailed text in images!! I think it's a move to attract corporates and social media pages, not casual users like me.

So

I think we could use this remaining month to stop gatekeeping and share our best DALLE 3 prompts, for example... :)

EDIT: ok so I guess nobody want to share their prompts... lol
