11 of the Weirdest DALL-E Generated Images on the Web

Despite the existential horrors that come from the ever-expanding wealth of knowledge gained by artificial intelligence – they sure know how to make art. And now the internet is taking full advantage of this technology to generate some epically weird images using DALL-E Mini.

Named after the surrealist artist himself, Salvador Dali, DALL-E uses artificial intelligence to create images based on the text you write (however weird). For example, if we typed “Elon Musk trapped in space,” the AI would pull up images of the billionaire trapped eternally in the void of space (or so you might hope).

DALL-E was originally invented in 2021 by OpenAI, but the images created were often grainy, imprecise, and time-consuming to generate. However, OpenAI has significantly improved the software, resulting in DALL-E 2 – a powerful new model that performs much better. DALL-E 2 is slowly being rolled out to the public via a waitlist, but the version available to the public, DALL-E Mini, has had great results so far.
