OpenAI's new image generator sparks both excitement and fear

OpenAI has unveiled a new AI tool that turns text into images -- and the results are stunning. Named DALL-E 2, the system is the successor to a model unveiled last year. While its predecessor generated some impressive outputs, the new version is a major upgrade. DALL-E-2 adds enhanced textual comprehension, faster image generation, and four times greater resolution. "When approaching DALL-E 2 we focused on improving the image resolution quality and improving latency, rather than building a bigger system," OpenAI researcher Aditya Ramesh told TNW.
