I think "legit" in this context might mean more of the Twitter post author's representation of their use of DALL-E 2:
- Were the prompts shown the ones fed to DALL-E 2 or were there more complex details described in the prompt?
- Were these the first images generated for the prompt, or did the author generate many images and cherry-pick the best example, and if so from how many?
It's funny that 10 years ago "a human did it" would be, by far, the most plausible explanation. Today, it's "AI did it." Put another way, if a human made these then it'd be as shocking as seeing DALL-E 2 in 2012.
