what if picasso painted elon musk? text-to-image DALL-E Mini software takes over the socials

AI image tool feeds Twitter trends

Produced by programmer Boris Dayma, DALL-E Mini is a text-to-image software that uses artificial intelligence to produce bizarre scenes.

Comparable to other companies, such as Google and OpenAI that develop AI models to form images based on natural language, this one is free-of-charge and easily accessible. The result sees absurd yet hilarious scenes taking over the internet and becoming a fever on social media. Ordinary people can join this non-sense world by producing their very own quirky fantasies.

Dall-E Mini turns your words into pictures

DALL-E Mini is pretty easy to use. All you have to do is visit its web page and insert a short phrase letting your imagination go wild. After some minutes, a digital gallery of illustrations hops out based on your prompt. Real or imaginary settings engaging celebrities, superheroes, or random figures create your own surreal meme that comes in nine variations. What if ‘Angela Merkel drinks beer with Barack Obama’, ‘Donald Trump and Boris Johnson were the same person’, ‘Mona Lisa visited Mount. Everest’, ‘Woody Allen arm wrestles Quentin Tarantino’, or ‘Shakira eats pasta with her dog’. — or actually, Shakira eats her dog in one of the nine resulting shots.

One can try, again and again in different styles, adding more descriptive details or funny keywords that will make the result even better. Some of the outcomes are really spooky like they jumped straight out of a horror movie; silhouettes with deformed appearances and altered facial features. Sometimes, though, the image is so distorted that the result is just funny.
