Wouldn’t that require a different approach to paying for computation? From OpenAI perspective there is no difference in spent resources whether you are still tinkering or know exactly what to generate in DALL-E. Which seems fair.

DALL-E is massively overpriced for the compute it uses. The current DALL-E price is based on what they think they can get away with, not on compute costs.

That's... How pricing works

There's a lot more to product pricing that compute costs...
Yes, but it is in their interest to monetize this.
Many people I talked with are fully willing to pay for it after it goes behind a paywall. OpenAI improved the user experience of their Playground with ChatGPT and not so many people taking out the wallet for DALL-E 2. It is fair to mention that the free alternatives of DALL-E 2 are equally capable, if not better.
