OpenAI's DALL-E image generator is now more accessible than ever, launching a beta program that allows 1 million people from the waitlist to participate in the coming weeks. Once selected, users will receive 50 free image credits in their first month, followed by 15 credits each month thereafter. Each credit enables the creation of four images from a single prompt, or three if the prompt involves edits or variations. For those seeking more, a package of 115 credits is available for $15.
This beta also enhances usage rights, enabling the creation of commercial projects. Users can print images on t-shirts, children's books, and more. However, OpenAI maintains guidelines that prohibit the generation of images featuring realistic faces, recognizable names, and explicit content, aiming to prevent misuse of the technology for misinformation or harmful purposes.
DALL-E has gained attention for its ability to produce striking images from simple descriptions, requiring only a basic concept rather than exhaustive details. Users can adjust features within the images to achieve desired effects, making it an impressive creative tool that allows anyone to generate unique artwork without needing advanced artistic skills.
