What makes DALLE Mini great is that we can all sit down and play with it, with no "oh this thing might destroy humanity" warning. A warning that most people who have worked seriously on different areas of AI find annoying for different reasons, but mainly it feels like a marketing gimmick to draw attention.

I have lots of friends who aren't related to the tech field having lots of fun playing with DALLE Mini, even though the results are terribly looking -- if they sort of resemble the prompt (and many times they do), they are ecstatic that the machine made a weird doodle about something ridiculous.
