Dall-E 2 users to be allowed to upload faces for first time

Users of the image generating artificial intelligence Dall-E 2 will be allowed to upload faces to the system for the first time, creators OpenAI have said, as competition in the sector heats up.

Later, those rules were relaxed to allow the generation of realistic faces, but not those of specific individuals.

Manuel Sainsily, an artist who works with AI tech, shared a more prosaic use for the feature: generating endless hats.

But OpenAI is also reacting to pressure from the competition, particularly London-based Stability.AI, whose Stable Diffusion image generation model was released to the public with effectively no moderation or restrictions at all.
