For those of you who do not know, DALL-E is a state-of-the-art AI model that has the ability to generate images using textual descriptions. It has taken the world by storm and people are benefiting in different aspects, which they thought would never be possible.

For those of you who have not had the opportunity to play around with OpenAI’s DALL-E 3, you’re probably unsure of what you can do with it. 

In this blog, I will go through 5 different use cases of DALL-E 3 and explore how DALL-E is reshaping different industries and workflows. 

You don’t have to be an AI enthusiast to benefit from this blog, you may just be interested to learn what's what and what you can do with it.

Before we get into it, let’s quickly have an overview of DALL-E.

What is DALL-E?

DALL-E, created by OpenAI is a deep learning model which has the ability to create visuals based on textual descriptions. This is achievable with the blend of computer vision and natural language processing. 

The model was trained on a variety of datasets, such as photographs and written descriptions allowing the model to be able to detect objects and patterns so that it has the ability to produce images in different styles. 

So now you have the background story, let’s learn about the use cases.

Logo Design

When you think about a tool that can create images and videos for you, you think about the things it can do for you or cut costs elsewhere. And why this has been on a lot of organizations' minds is because the images generated by DALL·E 3 are all yours! This means that you do not need permission from OpenAI to reprint, sell or merchandise them. 

So with that being said, you can use DALL-E 3 to create a logo to kickstart your business. For example:

If you are not happy with how the logo looks, you can always ask DALL-E 3 to improve based on your textual description. For example, you can ask DALL-E 3 to change the circle to a water/oil drop to represent the brand more. Or even change the look completely to fit your needs.

Marketing and Advertising

Logo design is one aspect of visual generation, but that does not limit you to the different types of visual content. You can create images and videos that you can use for social media posts. You can create images and videos that you can use for your website. You can easily generate these visual contents without having to invest so much of your personal time or the cost of hiring somebody to do it for you. 

Let’s look at an example of creating a data science bootcamp flyer:

AI-Generated Art

Ever had an artistic eye? Or wanted to create art but didn’t know where to start? Need a bit of help because your creative battery is low? DALL-E can help!

Not only can it generate art for you, it can also help guide you to create your own art. A lot of people have created instagram accounts to share their AI generated art and have done very well from it. Other artists are asking DALL-E to help them with the initial sketch so that they can develop. Some want to imitate an artist such as Van Gogh and DALL-E is aiding them. 

Not only does this provide creatives with a premade canvas, but it also saves them a lot of time and money on product prototypes. Creatives now have the ability to explore new ideas and also benefit from past artists' styles and themes. 

Let’s take a look at an example:
 

Books and Comics

You can create an entire comic within seconds with DALL-E. Amazing right! You can choose the theme of your comic, and tada just like that you have your own comic. Let’s give it a try:
 

But that’s not all. You can also use DALL-E to create covers for your books! No need to pay so much for a book cover, and on top of that you can refine it to exactly how you want it. Let’s try creating a book cover for the above comic.
 

Educational Material

This ones for the teachers. Oh how tiring it can be to create visual material to keep your students engaged. Some teachers do not even include visual materials, which can make certain students' learning process much harder.

With DALL-E, you can enhance your learning material with visual aids. For example, if you are holding biology lessons and there’s a focus on different types of lung conditions, you can use DALL-E to generate detailed images of how one's lung deteriorates overtime if they are a heavy smoker. 

Let’s input this and see what comes out:

Cool right?

Wrapping it up

These are not the only use cases of DALL-E, but I hope it has given you a good idea of what you can achieve, how it can improve your workflow, and overall day. If you’ve done some cool things with DALL-E, we would like to know - so drop a comment below!
