Having spent about 200$ on credits… yes, it glues together your words through transformers into images… of snippets of the identified corpus of images it has… with some specific prompt phrasings having cool weighting for making really nicely looking glued together results… it’s a model: classical computing - everything is turtles and duct tape and rivets and glue, all the way down…

Imagining that one knows "the" relationship between even two really obvious things can be the sign of a closed mind, or a mind which locks out new perspectives. This can be even more true, the more obvious the relationships may seem due to shared sensory biases.
IMO this is one reason why DALL-E 2 can be helpful for conceptualizing. If the user is open, DALL-E 2 can make mistakes and still teach you things through those same mistakes.
Unfortunately the relationship between DALL-E 2 and the user, so to speak, is also perceived as relatively fixed by members of the tech community, so highly do they rate their own ability to tell how "good" such a model is, etc.
