• DALL-E is now being used to show more of famous paintings All these incredible images were made by an artificial intelligence called Dall-e 2

Kid’s drawing

Dalle-2 is interesting because you can not only tell it what to create but also the style of art you’re after. In this case a kid’s drawing.

Doughnut house

You can also let your imagination run away with you. So if you’re hungry then just turn food into objects.

New Google Pixel watch

We thought it might be fun to try to get an idea of future smart devices and what an AI might think they looked like.

Batman’s new ride

You can make your requests as specific as you like down to the era of something, the style or simply the subject matter. Here we asked for a 90s Batmobile.

Balloon monsters

What’s one of the least fearsome things you’re ever likely to see? A balloon monster?

Concept BMW

Designers and engineers are coming up with all sorts of future designs for cars. But what can the AI think the future looks like?

Space monkey

What if we sent monkeys to Mars instead of people? What would that look like?

Germs

We recently wrote about Nikon’s Photomicrography Competition which features awesome photos of the tiniest things in our world. Can Dalle-2 create these too?

An exploding phone

Not one wants to see this happening to their smartphone, yet we’ve seen enough horror stories over the years. 

Roses in bloom

Sometimes you’ve got to take time out to smell the roses, even if those roses aren’t real and were created by AI. 

Dogs in a submarine

Dalle-2 seems pretty good at creating cartoon imagery. In this instance an amusing vision of a pair of dogs having a great time under the sea. 

Concept cars

Concept cars can often be a bit out there. And that’s the fun of them because designers often have a bit more freedom in their creations.

Duck vs turtle

After seeing what Google Imagen could do we thought it would be interesting to replicate its results by using the same terms.

Another of Google’s examples saw some funky robots in a flooded gallery. What would Dalle-2 do with such a request?

Corgi in Times Square

We love that the AI has chosen to embody that joy of seeing a dog wearing a hat and riding a bike in one image while making the dog super grumpy in the other. 

The moon made of cheese

We were frankly a bit disappointed with this one as we were hoping for something a bit more creative when we asked to see the moon made of cheese.

A space racoon

With this one, we actually got two quite different results, if slightly subtle ones. One racoon is looking inside from outside and one doing the opposite. 

An exploding vase

We’re big fans of high-speed photography and slow-mo results. So we wondered what Dalle-2 would come up with if we asked it to create something similar.  

A cyberpunk styled car races away from police on horseback in Times Square

For some reason when we asked for this scene Dalle-2 gave the police officers space helmets. Make of that what you will. 

Colourful computers

One of the highlights of this AI technology is the way it can create new artwork based on the style of a human artist.

Vader is angry

Admittedly Darth Vader looks a bit strange in a couple of these images, but the overall theme is still sort of what we were hoping for. 

Teddy time

There’s something amusing about Teddy Bears going on adventures.  These two furry creatures are having a great time on skate boards in public spaces. 

Cat monster

We’ve had fun experimenting with what Dalle-2 can create when it comes to cartoon artwork. Here cats become sea monsters and frankly it’s quite unnerving. 

Cybernetic humans in a pop art style

Even if the end results can be a touch hit and miss at times, you’ve got to admire how versatile the AI can be.

Aliens at the Whitehouse

It seems that artificial intelligence doesn’t have any idea what aliens might look like.
