DALL-E 2: felt needling of Frankenstein's monster

in

Having been previously amazed by what DALL-E 2 can do with needle felting, I decided to throw it a bit of a curveball by substituting “needle felting” with “felt needling” and it knew exactly what I meant with the query “felt needling of frankenstein's monster”. Sadly, these computer-generated images didn’t quite get Frankenstein’s monster right.

DALL-E 2: A megalithic site next to a stream

in

I have always been fascinated by megalithic sites like Stonehenge so I decided to see what DALL-E 2 might create given the following query “A megalithic site next to a stream”. The vegetation and the rocks do look a bit… “fuzzy” but overall I was satisfied with the results.

I fed OpenAI's DALL-E 2 the following prompt "A Viking shieldmaiden made from needle felting" and it generated these images digitally. I will NEVER trust photos of people's crafts again, I will only trust crafts I can hold in my hands. These are 100% computer-generated images:

I like Vikings (real and caricature versions of them). I like pizza. I gave OpenAI’s DALL-E 2 the task of creating wood carvings of Vikings eating pizza with the following query “A wood carving depicting vikings eating pizza” and the results were AMAZING.
