It’s kind of funny that DALL-E 2 is so amazing, and at the same time both DuckDuckGo and Google fail to find the above (and/or a related reddit thread) when prompted with :
dall-e “do androids dream of electric sheep”
but succeed with :
dall-e “androids dreaming of electric sheep”
EDIT : Never mind, it was not only my failure of thinking things through about what DALL-E accepts best, but also about how search engines work—DDG (but not google !) gives me the following as the 10th result when using the quote-less query :
Yes, I thought I had seen one already, so I went searching. “Electric sheep” on Twitter was useless, even after filtering by media and blocking/muting a bunch of accounts, so I fell back to androids dream of electric sheep dall-e in Google, which turned up that link; I noticed that Google also provides 2 Twitter accounts, confirming that a relevant tweet existed & was being liked/reshared (even if you can’t actually find it when you click on those accounts!), and was worth looking for in that Reddit thread.
Curiously, Google Images also falls to find it, and regular google is very sensitive to search query wording—shorter seems to be better, but not consistently… I suspect the problem is that Sam-sama was replying to tweets without any text, just the sampled image, and so it’s hard for any automated systems to figure out that the tweet he is replying to is ‘the label’ - for reasons of scale, I wouldn’t be surprised if each tweet is being processed by Google in isolation and so solving this instance is near-impossible. The hit is just barely on the edge of relevance and highly unstable. (Of course, our discussion here should help fix that within the next few index refreshes!)
Thanks !
