DALL-E is a program by OpenAI's that creates images from textual descriptions. To use it go to: labs.openai.com, create your account and type away. OpenAI developed DALL-E and DALL-E 2, which are deep learning models that can create digital images from natural language prompts. DALL-E was first introduced in January 2021, and utilizes a modified version of GPT-3. In April 2022, OpenAI released DALL-E 2, which has the ability to create more realistic images with higher resolution. The source code for DALL-E 2 is not yet available and access to the model was limited to a select group of users for research purposes, with a beta phase starting in July 2022. However, on September 28, 2022 it was made available to anyone without waitlist requirement.
