Guided by DALL-E 3, enjoying coffee and pancakes at a cafe in the early afternoon
This time, I decided to use DALL-E 3, the image generation AI available for free via
Bing Image Creator, to bring the ideal early afternoon in my mind to life.
To begin with, I enjoy drawing people and character illustrations.
However, I don't find much joy in drawing backgrounds or landscapes.
In other words, I'm not good at it.
That's right.
You should rely on AI for the things you're not good at
I had kept my distance from
generative AI, watching it from afar, but
this time, I decided to
take a step closer.
*I will omit the installation steps.
They are written in detail in this article.
Since it also supports Japanese prompts,
I will immediately try writing down my "ideal early afternoon."
"I want to enjoy pancakes and coffee at an old-fashioned cafe..."
While vaguely imagining it in my head, I wrote it down casually.
A scene of an old-fashioned cafe with pancakes and coffee on a table, with no people
With my heart full of anticipation, I pressed the generate button, and what I found was...!


"Eating pancakes while looking out at a desert region."
Is this the trend in the AI world?
However, I cannot ignore the reaction echoing in my heart.
(That's not quite right!!)
When I review the prompt,
I didn't write "inside the cafe."
This was my lack of explanation. My apologies.

The use of tableware is quite novel.

I was able to move from the terrace seat overlooking the desert to inside the cafe.
The relief was only for a moment.
It is still far from the image in my head.
I thought there were a bit too many things, so
I will adjust the prompt a little more.
Also, if there is a feeling of sunlight streaming in,
that would be even better.

It's getting closer to my ideal image.
From around here, something like a 'creative spirit'
started to bubble up.
The way I look at the generated images has changed.
(I'd like the sunlight to be a bit softer)
(I can't drink that much, so just one cup of coffee)
(No mysterious toppings on the pancakes, please)
From here on, until my 'boost' (the number of free high-speed generations) ran out,
my dialogue with DALL-E 3 continued.

The image in my head was
a cafe with no one else in it.
After persistently explaining while changing the phrasing, saying things like
it's fine if no people appear,
a certain problematic piece
was born.
A scene with no humans at all, where only a single set of simple, thick, plain pancakes and coffee is placed on a table inside an old-fashioned cafe, with sunlight filtering through the trees faintly shining in through the window.

It's reminiscent of a certain horror game.
The combo of the silhouette reflecting the sunlight perfectly and
the overly large pancakes is just unfair.
It was funny, so it was chosen as the MVP this time.
Since I'm doing this,
I want to get as close to my 'ideal image' as possible
before I run out of boosts.
It's the final spurt.
My enthusiasm is also poured into the prompt in the form of 'character count'.
A scene with no humans, where it is dark despite being daytime, but sunlight filters faintly through the trees from the window in an old-fashioned cafe, and only a single set of simple, thick, plain pancakes and coffee is placed on the table.



Even after the boost count ran out, I took my time and retried several times.
I generated a total of 80 images, with 20 dialogues × 4 images each.
In terms of being closest to the image in my head,
the grand prize for this time is...!

I have decided on this one🎉
The drink is served as usual.
If I had to ask for more, it would have been perfect if maple syrup and a knife were included.
When the boost count runs out, it takes several tens of minutes to generate.
However, it seems the boost restores the next day (15 uses), so I will check that.
This time, as a new experiment,
I was able to spend a fun afternoon withDALL-E 3the generative AI.
Detailed descriptions you want generated
will not be conveyed unless you explain them quite thoroughly.
Thinking, "They should understand without me saying it"
is not the case at all.
I realized that I must not neglect the effort to communicate,
a profound lesson that also applies to human interaction.
I was able to gain this insight.
