Yeah I just tried google image searching to find something like the pikachu photo from https://mobile.twitter.com/gottapatchemall/status/1511777860...

But I can't find anything close to the realism that DALL-E 2 achieved here.

There was an abomination of a live action Pikachu movie some time ago. When I google "realistic pikachu" I get images exactly like this from the movie but not gross.

In fact this photo is exactly what you get when you photoshop the face of an ugly chihuahua unto a Pikachu plushie head and add a yellow brushed hamster body. And a cape. Literally that is what you're looking at.

It understood your prompt and amalgamated the right source photos into this nightmare fuel. Jesus wept.

Yeah, it's still impressive to be able to imitate those styles and add a blue cape that didn't exist in the movies, along with chihuahua eyes. It also appears to be higher definition than Detective Pikachu CG. I'm curious if you could do the same for all 150 original Pokemon, even those for which realistic CG representations don't exist. Would it be able to take the cartoon version of Farfetch'd or Psyduck or a more obscure one and achieve the same realism, without the reference from the deep dataset?

Well to my eye it's realism beyond anything that I could find. Mind you I didn't search for that long so there might be something there if I was to delve deeper.

I am pretty familiar with photoshop, and while I'm not an expert, I would find making something like this really difficult. Anything is possible with photoshop, but some things are very hard.

i guess some people are overhyped, but it's cool that this can do that. Previously, it took a trained human.
