This is so interesting. If anyone has played the board game Dixit, the images generated here feel like they would fit right in. I could totally see this being used for custom decks in Tabletop Simulator.

For those unfamiliar, you can see some examples of the actual game cards here: https://www.libellud.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/DIXIT_OV... (PDF warning)

Would be fun to play a game of telestrations/garticphone where you get a prompt, select the ai-generated image you think most accurately represents it, then the human tries to write a caption which captures it most accurately, and you see how the work evolves as it passes through multiple players.

(Could also probably generate some fantastic training data)

This is a great idea! Around 13 years ago I played this web-based game called Broken Picture Telephone (the site seems to be back, but it was shut down for a long time). It had a very similar concept to Telestrations. A user would start with a phrase or description, the next user would draw what was written, and the next would describe it. Repeat until n rounds are complete. At the end, everyone can see how the game evolved.

I ended up writing my own after it first shut down and even though the community was small, it was incredibly fun. Doing this with Dall-E 2 sounds like a fun project to bring back some nostalgia.

Sounds exactly like GarticPhone - great game: it's free and only requires a web browser. It's become the go-to for our remote company happy hours.

Several people have reported laughing so hard they were sore the next day.

That was my first thought as well! The directed, purposeful illustrations that are open to myriad interpretations feel so much like the Dall-E work.

Oh yeah totally! I want to round up some friends now to play AI Dixit. An easy version could be to play sort of "reverse Dixit" where one person generates an image from a prompt and everyone else comes up with prompts based on the image, then you guess which prompt was the real one.

It reminded me a lot of the art in Mysterium as well, where the premise is that the art cards are visions being presented to mediums from a ghost to try to hint towards how they died.
