Maybe “ink”?

Using selection tool and editing takes it out for me when it happens…

Yes when I edit it removes. I just searched on web, this style images contain text and red color stamp/signature. I think training data effects it in the first place.

Can anyone explain what’s going on here? I asked for it from the QB’s POV three times and each time it was from the side. On the one hand it’s good that OpenAI doesn’t know much about NFL, but you’d expect at least some knowledge.

Here’s the prompt that generated this image: “Draw a picture of NFL offensive linemen. This is important: draw it from the quarterback’s point of view. In NFL, the linemen are in a line and they face away from the quarterback. Do not draw this from the side. Both the quarterback and the linemen are looking in the same direction. I want this from the quarterback’s point of view.”

A realistic scene from the quarterback’s point of view in an NFL game, showing the backs of the offensive linemen lined up in front of him. The linemen are crouched in their stances, facing downfield toward the defensive line. The field and opposing players are visible ahead, with details of the stadium and goalposts in the distance. The perspective emphasizes the view over the quarterback’s shoulder, looking directly downfield past the linemen.

This closer?

POV can be hard, though. Try to keep your prompt as simple as possible while having as many details as possible if that makes sense…

(Unimportant post, only for curiosity)

This does not need to be fixed and is only relevant to people who have a morbid interest in the DALL-E system. Fixing it would only be useful in extreme situations by letting the system define a clear goal, if there is too much randomness involved. The effect is caused by uncertainty and chaos.

It is a result of tests on indeterminacy. When the DALL-E system no longer knows how to render an image or when too much randomness is used in the network, it includes all possible elements in an image, leading to nonsensical results. Certain elements tend to appear more often, seemingly because their weights are prioritized higher in such situations, for example, hexagonal patterns. The prompts were all designed to produce meaningful images, and meaningful and aesthetic images were indeed generated, but occasionally, such broken images appear. The probability of such an image occurring is around 10% to 30%, depending on the prompt.

Most users will likely never see such images, as most prompts are precise enough to avoid such results.
