I have recently been playing around with DALL.E.

I happen to mention this to someone who is in the process of making an oil painting. As, I knew that he is a graphic designer as well. I wondered if he knew about DALL.E and possible impact on his work. I showed to him some images from Google Search that were created using DALL.E. He was awestruck with the images!

His very first question to me was ´how much I need to pay for the tool?´. I explained to him that I have it for free with a limited quota to create images. Beyond which I need to buy credits.

If you are curious about pricing. It is 115 images for 15 USD.

He further asked me if I can help him create an image against a prompt.

His vague description of the image he mentioned was like ´two men in Oslo Fjord fishing on a floating platform´. The result what I got from DALLE2 is the featured image of this post. So, I sent him for feedback and he shared with me his exact prompt.

The result of his new prompt is as follows:

I further added the word Oslo to make it more relevant to local context. Here is the final result.

Do you think tools like DALLE2 will soon become common before an artist starts thinking of a painting ?
