I can't speak for others, but I've personally been quite impressed by the dalle output. It creates things that would take me hours (if not days) to create, which no other tech I've tried has been able to generate. It feels like it can absolutely replace at least the stock photo industry. It's also terrific for things like blog photos if you don't have the time or talent to create something yourself, but want some creative control.

Expansions like dream booth, which let you fine tune the system with your own submitted images are also quite amazing. Being able to give it just a few photos, and say things like "show me surfing in the ocean" and get a reasonable image back.

_Much_ more broadly, this space in AI/ML with GPT3/Dalle is exciting because it feels kind of like what the internet was made for. There's too much data on the internet for any one person to ever meaningfully process. But a machine can. And you can ask that machine questions. And instead of getting just a list of references back, you get an "answer". Image generation is the "image answer" part of this system. It's an exciting space because it feels like these systems will affect large chunks of how we use computers.

Here's a cool GPT3 "programming" example: https://twitter.com/goodside/status/1581805503897735168

And here are some of my dalle uses I've been impressed by, that I feel is publish-ready:
