I wonder what would happen if you put in the text prompt: "Long-necked spotted mammal that eats leaves from trees".

Most people would answer that as a giraffe.

I was curious about this as well. Here is what I got: https://i.imgur.com/Ey0i3My.png

Very similar to my images for the prompt: https://imgur.com/8dw2brf

Intriguing that it's gone for a headshot for all of them. I suspect it says something about the source text

I was curious about this too and wondered if it could then relate to my description of a giraffe so put in "legs of a yellow mammal with a long neck and spots" and it still nailed it.

Dall-E knows what a giraffe is IMO

I found it incredible too

The text model of dall-e at very least can map "Long-necked spotted mammal that eats leaves from trees" near the same representation of "giraffe"

The pictures are incredibly similar to what one gets when you type that same string in to google image search - it makes me wonder if you could do reverse-image search on some of the pictures it produces and find whole training pictures embedded in it, the way one can find blocks of intact training text stored inside language models.
