OpenAI introduced a new DALL-E 3 photo generator

DALL-E 3 is said to offer greater protection for artists and designers who claim that such AI (artificial intelligence) image generators are using third-party works to train the algorithm and create photos and videos as a result.

The OpenAI developer has placed new AI capabilities of the image generator in the center, which should be able to take into account and create much more than its predecessor (DALL-E 2). details and complex concepts.

"Modern text-to-image systems often ignore words or descriptions, forcing users to learn how to engineer prompts," says OpenAI. "DALL-E 3 represents a huge step forward in our ability to create images that exactly match the text you type."

This includes creating renderings of even the smallest details of a text prompt and arranging scene elements accordingly, such as the moon over the street in the image below.

DALL-E 3 promises to render human hands more accurately, a task that is too difficult for many image generators. Closest rival Midjourney announced a similar upgrade last month, with a new feature that allows users to request editing of just part of an image (eg "remove one finger").

OpenAI also announced plans to integrate DALL-E 3 with ChatGPT Plus in the coming weeks. By combining the chatter's language skills with the image generator, it wants to create even more accurate images with customization options.

"When prompted with an idea, ChatGPT will automatically generate custom, detailed prompts for DALL-E 3 that will turn your idea into something tangible," OpenAI says. "If you like a certain image but it's not quite right, you can ask ChatGPT to make adjustments with a few words."

DALL-E 2 is currently not free. OpenAI requires a small fee for “credits” of the images. ChatGPT Plus currently costs 20 euros per month. The only major AI chat engine that currently offers image generation for free is Microsoft's Bing Chat AI.

Bing Chat also runs on the OpenAI GPT-4 language model. In the DALL-E 3 announcement, OpenAI acknowledges growing concerns about the authorship of AI-generated photos. "We are also investigating the best ways to help people recognize when an image has been created by artificial intelligence," says OpenAI.

The company is working on an internal tool to distinguish between AI-generated art and human-made art. We're still waiting for OpenAI to resurrect its AI text recognition tool, which it disabled in July due to poor performance.

They also touched on numerous lawsuits by artists who claim that AI image generators are trained on their works. To this end, OpenAI introduced a new tool that allows artists to choose to exclude their works from the database.

OpenAI also says that the DALL-E 3 can reject command prompts that will require the image to be rendered in the style of a living artist. The new and improved AI image generator lays the groundwork for AI-generated images to become commonplace in the future. Since they are not protected by copyright according to a recent court ruling, they can be created, published and sold without restriction. "You do not need our permission to reprint, sell or market," says OpenAI.
