Using DALL-E to make images of Muppets in Mad Max

I confess to stealing this prompt off Reddit and generated my own. I think this might be my favourite DALL·E 2 creation. Muppets in Mad Max #dalle #dalle2 pic.twitter.com/xR67bab6Bg

Experiments I conducted with DALL·E 2 from @OpenAI replicating styles of well known portrait photographers using photo-realistic AI. 🧵

I chose this search phrase as I am currently living in Mexico City, but it is fun to imagine how classic portrait artists might have captured other cultures and ethnicities. pic.twitter.com/kFu67YPV7J

5. Annie Leibovitz
For each artist I generally completed 2 or 3 iterations, with each iteration returning six unique images. I then chose the best 4. pic.twitter.com/QRShwz6tXQ

7. Steve McCurry @McCurryStudios
The results are less impressive where the source photographer (in this case my personal favourite) is known for diverse work that often ties the subject with the environment. pic.twitter.com/QVrBdvTn9I

9. Robert Mapplethorpe
In this Mapplethorpe series, DALL·E, for many of the iterations I did, would combine his work with flowers with his portrait work. pic.twitter.com/o4nqNIQeZf

11. Terry Richardson
DALL·E has pretty good command over the use of clothing accessories and expressions. It knows what attitude Terry captures in his work. pic.twitter.com/Zr7v0iuKqi

13. Martin Schoeller
Again here, for artists like Schoeller with an extremely consistent visual style, DALL·E is able to replicate with ease. pic.twitter.com/lqyQ4z0zuX
