Why the Quality of DALL-E3 API is Significantly Lower Compared to the Original

Answer from chatGPT w.r.t. the lower quality / style deviation when using DALL-E 3 with API:

“When using DALL-E via its API, the prompt preparation process is generally up to the user or the system integrating with the API. The API itself does not modify or elaborate on the prompts; it generates images based on the exact text input it receives.

Just in case you were wondering, the above is a blatant mistruth by ChatGPT.

There is an AI between you and the API DALL-E 3 that does similar filtering of content and rewriting.

DALL-E 3 wide images are $0.08 each. A $20 monthly API bill of those is 250, eight images a day, while ChatGPT Plus at $20/mo lets you triple that or more, and still ask other questions to GPT-4. So OpenAI’s product competes with and outprices their own developers.

Your choice is really dependent on how much you would actually use image generation personally.

That “Typing Mind” costs $59 if you want to generate images, with your own damn API key. You should NEVER provide your API key to unknown third-parties.

Use Python. I gave an elaborate script that only takes a bit of understanding of the input variables you’d modify in this topic:

HOWTO: Use the new python library to call API DALL-E and save and display images

How to use DALL-E 3 in the API. Because new versions of the OpenAI Python library are being continuously released - and because API Reference and Cookbooks, and github are USELESS to describe what to do with the data return (or even show how to catch the API return) - I thought I’d demonstrate a basic application for you. The script I’ve provided is linear, progressing through building the prompt and the parameters you’ll need to send to the images endpoint. We start with a basic request to DA…
