Experimenting with DALL-E inpainting

I don’t think people know how cool the inpainting feature on DALL-E really is. Like, I generated this wizard last week but now I want him to have a cell phone and be in a library. Erase parts of the image and generate. Boom. Five options, one of which is legit good.

A wizard with a long white beard and pointed hat is shown in a library, holding a smartphone. The image has been partially erased, leaving a transparent background where the wizard's hands and the phone are to be replaced.

A wizard with a long white beard and bright blue eyes wears a large purple hat and holds a glowing smartphone, seated in a cluttered room with wooden shelves behind him.

A grid of six images showing a wizard with a long white beard and wide-brimmed hat, in various poses using a smartphone, with the original image on the top left and five variations below it, all set in a cluttered workshop environment.

I guess the stuff on the shelves isn’t exactly a library in this one, but it’s certainly as good as I would have done in hours of digital painting. And it took like a minute tops.

One out of five ain’t bad? It’s like working with a fast, enthusiastic, talented, disorganized, confused amateur illustrator.

Oh, you can also just upload an image and get alternate universe versions of it.

A grid of six distorted, darkly themed images featuring eerie, often glitched or inverted faces with glowing eyes and unsettling smiles, accompanied by reversed or scrambled text.

Outpainting is really cool too.
