Look, not to brag but DALL-E's "armchair in the shape of an avocado" was mine (https://openai.com/index/dall-e/). I remember trying to convey the gravity of this capability to my friends at the time, who I guess were not as impressed as me.


Thats insane! I cited your image in a humanities paper during one of my freshman year classes.


I think the GP just means it was their oh shit moment, not that it was their image...


I think GP meant that yes, they were the one who had that image generated, and the oh shit moment was that it worked.


Yes confirmed, I did not author the DALL-E paper lmao


Completely misunderstood your phrasing lol, disregard that. But yeah I agree the avocado armchair was definitely a milestone. I used it as one of the exemplary first steps in what we now consider Gen image AI.
