DALL·E 2 is an advanced AI system developed by OpenAI that has the ability to generate realistic images and art from textual descriptions. It can use a natural language description as input and produce corresponding images as output.
DALL·E is derived from two influential figures: Dalí and WALL·E.
- Dalí refers to Salvador Dalí, a renowned Spanish surrealist artist known for his imaginative and eccentric artwork. His name represents the creative and artistic aspects of the AI system.
- WALL·E refers to the fictional robot character from the animated film WALL·E, produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. WALL·E is a curious and creative robot, which aligns with the AI system’s ability to generate creative and imaginative images.
Together, the name DALL·E signifies an AI system that combines elements of art and creativity, akin to the surrealism of Dalí and the curiosity of WALL·E, to generate images from textual descriptions.
