Playing Telephone with GPT-4 and Dall-E-3

Hello Hacker News! I’ve been having some fun recently and I wanted to share with you. My idea was to feed ChatGPT an image and ask for a caption, feed that back to DallE, then call this in a loop, and observe how the image that was generated changed over time. Similar to playing the game “telephone”. The results were really intriguing, so I built something that you can play with. Note this is best on a desktop (streamlit is optimized for a large screen), but if you’re on mobile you’ll want to expand the sidebar to start — it’s the carrot on top. My initial intention was for you to be able to submit seed images on the site and watch them progress, but that was too expensive and slow. So instead I built an explorer. While this also illustrates a framework I’m developing that helps structure code, it should be interesting regardless of whether or not you’re looking for new tools. I’m happy to add more images — feel free to suggest starting ones you’d like to see!
