An artificial intelligence company called OpenAI created a tool that allows any descriptive sentence to be turned into realistic images and art.
The tool is called DALL·E 2 and can create imagery because it has been fed countless pictures and has been trained to create imagery.
Our newest system DALL·E 2 can create realistic images and art from a description in natural language. See it here: https://t.co/Kmjko82YO5 pic.twitter.com/QEh9kWUE8A

People on Twitter were pretty psyched about the new tool and offered up suggestions of what they wanted to see it do.
Here’s one example.

The people at OpenAI said that safety measures were put in place to make sure the DALL·E 2 software can not produce v**lent images or spread misinformation.
Here’s a nice one from an employee at OpenAI.

Open AI has no plans to release DALL·E 2 to the public but we’ll have to keep an eye on that…
