DALL-E is a unique app that uses AI learning to turn texts and phrases into images. The developers chose the name as a way to recognize both the work of artist Salvador Dali and the animated Disney character Wall-E. This app uses the text that you enter and compares it to a huge database to create a new image. You can use it to create images of things that don't exist in the real world. Though it sounds confusing, this app is easy to use.

After you download DALL-E, open it and select the text box. Enter the text you want to use in this box and let the AI go over it. There is a limit to the number of characters you can use in this box. If you use too many words, it can confuse the AI and give you images that don't match what you need. Try sticking to basic commands or phrases that include the most important details. If you want a photo of a chair shaped like a carrot, you don't need to add related terms. Simply tell the app that you want an image of a carrot-shaped chair.

While there are some similar apps making their way to the market, DALL-E is still one of the best. It allows you to add multiple details about the image you want such as a series of white mugs sitting on a counter. You can also ask the app to draw several objects in one photo. For example, it can deliver an image of a cat wearing a green hat and a red vest. DALL-E has the ability to add texture to your images and even incorporate some 3D elements.

One of the biggest issues with DALL-E is that it will occasionally get confused or lose track of what you want. This often happens when you add too many details to your text or when you use the same word multiple times. While the developers claim that the app doesn't have any issues if you want an image of a box and use the word several times, users found that the app often came back with images that showed the same object multiple times. DALL-E is a closed-source app that does not share its info with other apps, which can limit your results. It also limits what you can do with the demo.

The best way to see how DALL-E works is with a download of the demo. This allows you to enter some text and see the results you get back. While the demo limits what you can do, it's an easy way to see what DALL-E can do and what the future might hold for AI-generated images.
