The prompt is actually "blue bird twitter logo".

Nothing is expressed. Find yourself a blue bird in an expressionistic style, go to google image search and give it the url. Click on tools -> visually similar.

Enjoy an endless supply of things to plagiarize. In the middle picture of the second row you can clearly see how several pre-existing images are sharply cut off before being re-blended.

Same thing going on here as in your other comments.

Tech like CLIP, GPT-3, DALL-E, etc. are indeed nearing the sophistication (w. caveats around outliers and harmful outputs) of Google search.

It took a lot of people to create Google search. It took precisely one training run for DALL-E 2 to create this.

edit: Removed toxic comment.

No, don't get me wrong. I think DALL-E is very interesting and a potentially useful tool and have nothing against the tool makers.

The tool wielders however.. I think are overyhyping this to say the least. And focusing on the wrong bits. It isn't sentient and it is not making art. But teasing apart how it is deriving these images might shake out serious advancements.

Fair enough I think we are in agreement.
