Would be fascinated to see the DALL-E output for the same prompts as the ones used in this paper. If you've got DALL-E access and can try a few, please put links as replies!

Looking at these… I can’t help but wonder if these are literal examples of AI imagination?

I've started to ask myself if my own creativity is a result of random sampling from the diffusion tapestry of associated memories and experience on that topic.

I do wonder what Dall-E 2 would output for a request along the lines of "A still life of a vase of flowers in a completely new art style."

Don't have access to Dall-E 2 or Imagen but I do have [1] and [2] locally and they produced [3] with that prompt.
