What is DALL-E 2?

DALL-E 2 is an artificial intelligence program developed by OpenAI that has the ability to generate original images and text based on a given prompt. The program works by taking a short text description as input, and then uses that description to generate an original image that is associated with the text.

One of the most impressive things about DALL-E 2 is its ability to generate completely original images that are not based on any existing image or data. This means that it is able to create images that are completely new and unique.

DALL-E 2 is a truly innovative and groundbreaking program that has the potential to revolutionise the way that we create and design new concepts and…
