This is kind of funny because, long before DALL-E, you could Google:

    depressed office worker sitting on toilet, bright lighting site:shutterstock.com
or:

    kangaroo riding a skateboard site:shutterstock.com
For the casual user looking for surreal entertainment, this is a much more efficient method than going on the OpenAI waitlist, or whatever.

But I think a lot just moved on to Stable Diffusion

It was waitlisted for quite a while.

Now Stable Diffusion and friends exist, anyone can make images with a free Google Colab account or their own GPU. It's been democratised and waitlists are a thing of the past.
