[@annawood4547]

Just a reminder that crayon is separate from dall-e! Crayon made their own image generation ai that isn’t quite as good as dall-e, and called themselves dall-e mini to piggyback off the success of dall-e. Dall-e, correctly, asked them to change their name to avoid confusion between the two, and they chose crayon as their new name.

[@hecko-yes]

iirc it was the same _architecture_ as dall·e, just smaller same goes for gpt-neo, which i can't quite articulate why it wasn't renamed; i guess `dall·e` is more of a brand name whereas `gpt` is a generic acronym (`generative pretrained transformer`)

[@StuffandThings_]

This is the first time I've seen any "practical" use of the new AI art stuff. I'm honestly impressed at how _useful_ this is. Made a decent looking texture pack with a whole lot less effort. Just goes to show that while AI won't necessarily replace humans, it will reduce the amount of tedious work by a significant margin. Someone from 2012 would probably be impressed with this pack. Nice work!

[@nuloom]

in that case you might be missing out on a lot of the stuff that’s going on with AI. This is Dall-e mini, but the 2 is much better. A graphic designer made a video looking over some results for stuff like packaging and they are absolutely crazy kzbin.info/www/bejne/laPOfJSjhZimjbM

[@remor698]

Something this AI is also really good at is distant scenery shots, which can serve as backgrounds of art pieces as they are or be the inspirational base to work off of. In general, using the AI's results and the process that goes into formulating and refining the prompts as a source of inspiration is probably the best use for craiyon as it stands though.

[@mosquitobrainbutcool]

I've found that the OpenAI has been extremely helpful in visualizing game concepts and drawing concept art for me.

[@coolblack86]

I use this AI to create textures and matcaps for unity materials, works when you need something specific in a pinch

[@Squigdude13]

This is one of my main points, it still took this guy an entire days worth of time pretty much to edit, polish, and compile everything and make sure it works. Ai is a very useful tool and i can definitely see smaller companies or even larger ones using it alongside other software to lets say, make a bunch of background rocks and textures thats there purely for flavor instead of making a team do that all night

[@NivaeliVT]

This reminds me of old HD texturepacks that I'd use back in 1.7 lol. Looks surprisingly good, and makes me disturbingly nostalgic..

[@TommyTonk]

I love how you kept using "in the shape of a square" instead of just writing "texture".

[@SkeleTonHammer]

That's because the AI doesn't give you a non-perspective, uniform square just by putting in "texture." AI doesn't interpret that word correctly.

[@TommyTonk]

@@SkeleTonHammer The AI is based on images taken from the internet, if you search texture the images will be flat, because that is what a texture looks like. Therefore the AI will produce flat images when you put the word texture. Literally all you had to do was test it out to prove that it works.

This is so creative, yet not creative at all since the AI made it. Wholesome.

[@petersmythe6462]

I think one thing that might be useful is more careful specification of three prompt. One big issue with these is that many are not tileable. To fix this, one solution is to make them tileable in an image editor. A more fun solution is to tell the AI to make them tileable and let it try its best.
