Tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee got his hands on DALL-E 2, an AI system that can create realistic images and art from ordinary language description.
In his YouTube video, Brownlee tried to walk viewers through how the software works.
DALL-E 2 was created by OpenAI, an intelligence company owned by Elon Musk. It uses two two AI technologies – clip and diffusion – to produce realistic images and art that will totally floor anyone who does not know that it exists.

However, just describing the tool as reproducing a command it is given does little justice to its power. This AI artist can do a whole lot more including making ‘realistic edits to existing images from a natural language caption. It can add and remove elements while taking shadows, reflections, and textures into account.’
Also, the images that DALL-E 2 produces are original and not just stolen from somewhere else on the internet. And yes, for those that want to build on already existing works of art, the software can create variations of an existing image.
First introduced in 2021 as DALL-E 1, the software has evolved a lot in its one year of existence. On its official website, the developers say:
“DALL·E 2 has learned the relationship between images and the text used to describe them. It uses a process called “diffusion,” which starts with a pattern of random dots and gradually alters that pattern towards an image when it recognizes specific aspects of that image.”
For now, the makers are still studying the AI’s limitations and capabilities and only make it available to a select group of users until it is safe for a public rollout.
