 Hey guys welcome back to my youtube channel this is Daniel Rosel here. Yesterday I got an email from the good people at the OpenAI project which is openai.com letting me know that I've been invited into the inner sanctum of the Dali 2 world. In other words my time on the waitlist had come to an end. If you're watching this video I'm going to presume you've heard about Dali and Dali 2 specifically. If you haven't it's basically an artificial intelligence or AI algorithm that takes descriptive strings of text and it converts them into images so you can get whatever the wildest thing you can think of you know koala I think in their intro video they have like you know koala dunking a basketball the weirdest thing you can think of that couldn't exist in real life you can put that in as a string and it'll generate this really really cool artwork so you're seeing a lot at the moment of hashtag AI art hashtag AI artwork at least I've been seeing I've been hearing and seeing a lot about Dali 2 on Twitter Reddit and Facebook for the past number of months so I saw that they had a waitlist I signed up to the waitlist a few weeks ago and I just got access this weekend so I must say I'm very excited about that I am going to guess that the reason they're doing it like this with the waitlist is that it must involve a lot of compute resources on the back end to generate this AI artwork so I'd imagine that's why they're onboarding users in a kind of a triage phase and it actually makes that makes sense as well because they're actually selling credit so let me just show you guys what it looks like on the inside here of the Dali 2 generator so it's labs.openai.com and when you sign up you're going to get 50 tokens which really isn't bad it's one token each time you generate something in other words each time you put in a string of text and then if you want to buy more tokens it's actually really not that expensive it's 115 credits for $15 and of course I'm not sure if there's a quantity discount doesn't look like it if you're buying 230 credits for $30 in other words you can use the API or do it by your humanly but either way it's not super expensive but they give you 50 to start which is pretty nice there's also a discord server as well you can see it's got like 24,000 people at the moment and people in there like sharing their Dali artwork which is pretty cool so let me just do one so I have it's just wacky idea stuff that can't exist in the real world you can put in here so I'm gonna go I have a bit of a sloth obsession as my favorite animal at the moment but before I was interested in sloths I used to love koalas and penguins so you know I can type in something like a sloth oops a sloth a koala and a penguin drinking together at a bar like you know just kind of a wild wild idea now there's also something called in image editing so you can actually upload an image and have it like use AI to generate a different background you can't at the moment if you try to upload a face just be warned it will say faces are not currently supported so it doesn't work with faces in the AI enhanced image editing so it needs to be something like a background so anyway I'm just gonna go and have a bit of fun with my prom to your sloth a koala and a penguin drinking together at a bar so it takes like 10 seconds as you can see there's a progress bar and the AI is doing its thing and after it generates you're gonna it's gonna give you a few results so we can see if it's good or bad so here we go so this is actually kind of an interesting one so in this it's it's gone for a cartoon style thing and like these are just so creative so here's here's my koala my penguin I'm missing the sloth in that one this one's great the koala and the penguin are feeding the sloth alcohol so if you find one that you like you can save it save it to your collection by clicking on save so I'm gonna definitely save this one and you can also share it now something cool is that once you publish it to open AI it's going to be hosted there which is nice so once I click the publish button it's going to be up there and now you get a link I'm just going to open the link in a new tab here on my browser and this is a publicly accessible link and what's what's cool is that it shows people the prompt as well so you can see I'm gonna just make myself small so you can see all the details of this dally to rendering in all its glory you can see the sloth as well and it has this dally to watermark at the bottom that's just so people can know it's created with that and it doesn't give your full username so I guess if you want to be like anonymous then this is a way to do it it says Daniel and dally human AI collaboration and this is the penguin penguin koala and a sloth at a bar so if I just go back to my account here so then if you really like something for example if I like this particular one a lot let's just go back and see the other ones that I came up with now you can type in there's certain keywords in the prompt so you can put at the start of this a 3d rendering of and then your string and then you'll only get 3d renderings versus these cartoons this one's pretty funny as well I'm going to definitely save this to my collection and I'm going to share it publicly too um you can also start up a collection so I click on the save button there you can go to see everything you've saved so far so this is what I've been up to very sloth centric those be my first ones like I did this creative 3d rendering of a sloth dressed in a suit praying at the western wall in Jerusalem it's kind of missing a face but besides that the western wall is pretty spot on it's even got the little notes that people pop into the walls which is pretty pretty cool um he's definitely I'm gonna have to zoom in so you see or it would have to zoom in so you could see the details better he's definitely got a suit going on he just seems to be missing like a clear facial structure but I thought that was pretty good this one really impressed me this is a sloth using a cell phone while lying in bed like this is this is pretty cool he's definitely got it's kind of missing these like one eyes open one eyes closed but like the kind of sloth face and 3d is really there the cell phone's a bit weird looking it's kind of covered so you could play around with these in an image editor but as a starting point for a wild image of a sloth you know and not something you can get in reality sloth using a cell phone in bed I think it's pretty good so that's what I've been up to so far so if you get one that you like you can generate variations you can also do this after the fact so you can go back into your image creation into your collection and then afterwards I'm just going to generate more and I think this is going to use another credit so just just as an FOI but again I think the price of credits are pretty reasonable so this one someone else is clearly interested in animals a capybara uh wearing a royal so here here are variations on my artwork so this was the first one the original and then we here is a variation I don't think that one's so good because the koala doesn't have ears koala's missing ears and this one so I'm I don't like those variations so much the original is the best one in my opinion out of that batch and yeah that's pretty much what it is you're gonna see people sharing these all over the place on twitter there are like twitter accounts just tweeting out like the best dali artworks have to say this is pretty cool people are using it for youtube thumbnails as well that's another use to make of it or just generally anything that you could create that you know it wouldn't be possible to do in the real world I've seen some really interesting examples so that's what dali 2 is that's what dali 2 does if you if you if you are interested you want to sign up for yourself go on to openai.com or google dali 2 open ai and join the wait list because you might be waiting there for a few weeks before getting access once you have access you're in the system you can buy more credits so that you can keep creating and keep making random things hope that video is useful for anyone interested in dali 2 if you'd like to subscribe to this youtube channel please consider doing so thanks for watching
