    To the surprise of absolutely nobody. There’s no way it was going to be free and have no ads.

    Edit: By the way, I don’t see many people talking about it but DALL-E 3 was stealthily launched in the new Bing chat update and it’s incredibly impressive. By far the best image generation AI in the market right now, and it probably won’t be free for long.

      Do you think that the next step is product placement?

      “Draw a rabbit wearing a top hat.”

      Produces picture of rabbit, wearing a top hat, sipping a coke.

        That would be hilariously evil, but I doubt they’d go that far. They’ll likely just put an ad in-between every prompt if they decide to go full greed.

          Why not both? Why would their greed have a limit like that?

          I could see this being a very interesting watermark - the free demo is sponsored by Coke, and all images will prominently feature the product. Upgrade to a paid/business/Enterprise account to get images without the product.

          Given how many God-awful advertising patents have already been filed, I really can’t see anyone turning down this opportunity. The only reason against it would be a technological limitation- making sure the product isn’t featured alongside negative/toxic content. For instance, Hitler yelling at a bunch of homeless orphans (while holding a Coke)

      It won’t be free for long. MS already announced that it will be moving to a paid service shortly.

        Wonder if they’ll use the Hulu model of “pay us money and still see ads”…

      I jave had mixed results. I asked it to generate a user interface and it was absolute gibberish.
