OpenAIconfronted a common problem forAI image generatorswhen it broadly released anew edit featurefor ChatGPTsDALL-Ethis month.
The tool sounds great in theory, but in practice, it leaves something to be desired.
Ideally, a photo editing tool should enable you to change the things that are wrong in an image.

We largely found that DALL-Es edit tool refuses or simply fails to produce what you ask.
In some cases, it completely ruins the photo.
Thats because the AI doesnt know what it made.
It cant tell if theres a foreground, a background, or even what a sign it created says.
So the edit feature is not really editing the photo at all.
Its actually editing your prompt, and generating a new photo each time in the area you specify.
You have to understand DALL-Es limitations so you can use the edit tool.
To be fair, this is the case for all editing tools on AI image generators at the moment.
They are generating something new each time, and that can distort your image.
While the editor works in limited circumstances, it doesnt offer the customization you might hope for.
Here are our test runs with DALL-Es image editor.
