>yeah that's exactly it. i frequently put flirty face phrases like "sly smile" and "half-lidded eyes" and they'd get ignored and i used to think dall-e just didn't have the text comprehension. but nah, i'm more convinced now it understands EXACTLY what i mean and is rewriting/ignoring on purpose.

Your "half lidded eye rolled comically back in her head" was a great little add in to some prompts. And yeah Dalle always knew exactly what we were asking for it was just filtered / rewritten to varying degrees. Was a revelation seeing what a somewhat Jailbroken Dalle would do. Sora is quite happy to do rolled eyes /ahegao depending on your prompt.

> the real problem and principally why i stopped frequenting the thread (save once a month) is that it's hard to experiment with it anymore.

Pretty much the same but with Cici / Azure. Once they brought the hammer down in what was it April? it was pretty much game over. I limped along for another month or so but if ChatGPT is to be believed they totally upgraded the Azure back end which killed the workarounds. My last Cici hack gen was mid June, all just instantly fail now.

Its an absolute shame they built something so powerful ( I still dont think Imagen or Sora are as good despite perhaps being technically better ) and nerfed it within a cpl of months so people never really saw how powerful it was / is. Bing - I dont see any point in using it now, endless dogs and filters and shit UI make it pointless. Sora / Imagen are OK ,keep me interested, but lack the Dalle magic, Imagen more so,Sora still seems to have a sense of that surrealness that Dalle had with filling in the details,even obvious rewrites would often look great. I post a bit on that MMAI thread but it doesnt have the spirit of these Dalle threads.Too much low quality spam on there for my tastes as the thread is pretty much for all online generators so no cohesiveness to it.

Random surreal Cici gen...Downton Scullery Maid sucking LOL
