OpenAI has created an updated version of its image generation software, named DALL-E 2. DALL-E 2 can generate photoquality, high-resolution images, complete with complex backgrounds, depth-of-field effects, realistic shadows, shading, and reflections. Provoking a mixture of awe and apprehension, the technology is able to create incredibly accurate images through a process called diffusion.

Despite worries around how the software could be used, OpenAI has gone to great lengths to ensure the tool is not put to ill-use, though it is yet to be made available to the public.
