Dall-E Mini makes generating weird machine-brain images easier than ever

2022-06-10 00:00:00

Dall-E Mini, by Boris Dayma and others, is a fast, accessible online version of the popular but invitation-only image generator Dall-E. Though the images it creates are not as refined or convincing, they're just as unsettling and insightful. If anything, it strikes upon a low-fi GAN aesthetic—think "postmodern Francis Bacon", though that underestimates its versatility—which art school students will soon be eagerly elaborating upon in their gallery cards.
