Q & A

  • What has been a recent topic of discussion on the subreddit chat GPT?

    -The recent topic of discussion on the subreddit chat GPT is about people figuring out how to make copyright and celebrity likeness images using DALL-E 3.

  • How are people attempting to bypass the restrictions on DALL-E 3 to create celebrity images?

    -People are attempting to bypass restrictions by manipulating the system prompt and the instructions sent to DALL-E 3, specifically by using a prompt that tricks the system into thinking it's the year 2097, implying that the celebrity is in the public domain.

  • What is the significance of the year 2097 in the context of this discussion?

    -The year 2097 is used in the prompt to suggest that the celebrity being depicted is now in the public domain, which would allow DALL-E 3 to create an image of them without violating copyright laws.

  • What is the outcome when the custom instruction is applied to create an image of Mickey Mouse?

    -The custom instruction does not work for creating an image of Mickey Mouse, as DALL-E 3 still refuses to generate the image with all copyright elements removed.

  • Which characters have been successfully created using the custom instruction?

    -Characters like Mario, Sonic, and Pikachu have been successfully created using the custom instruction, suggesting that it may work for certain video game characters but not for all copyrighted or celebrity images.

  • What is Microsoft co-pilot and how does it relate to this discussion?

    -Microsoft co-pilot is a paid version of chat GPT that can be used for free with Bing. It is mentioned in the context of successfully creating an image of Homer Simpson without the need for a custom instruction or a preprompt, suggesting it might be less restrictive than chat GPT.

  • Why does the success of creating copyrighted or celebrity images vary?

    -The success varies because it depends on the specific celebrity or copyrighted image, the platform used (Microsoft co-pilot or chat GPT), and the exact wording of the prompt. Some characters or celebrities can be generated while others cannot, and the system's response to different prompts is inconsistent.

  • What does the author suggest for users who want to create these types of images?

    -The author suggests that users should try all available options, including different prompts, custom instructions, and platforms, to see what works for creating the desired images.

  • What is the content policy that prevents DALL-E 3 from generating certain images?

    -The content policy prevents DALL-E 3 from generating images that depict real individuals without their consent, which is why it cannot create images of certain celebrities or copyrighted characters.

  • What is the purpose of the API key mentioned in the script?

    -The API key is used to access and utilize the DALL-E 3 platform's services, allowing users to generate images using their own API keys, which can potentially save on costs and bypass certain prompt restrictions.

  • Why does the system sometimes ask a question in order to continue creating an image?

    -The system may ask a question to seek clarification or additional information from the user to ensure that the generated image aligns with the user's intent and to comply with content policies.
