Openai Dall-E Image

Haha this is so neat. I used the Open AI Chatbot robot skill and combined the output with this Dall-e robot skill. I asked Davinic to tell me a story about a bird that wanted to be a pro skate boarder. I fed each sentence into Dall-e and here's the story and images I got...

The story begins...

Once upon a time there was a little bird who left the nest to become a professional skateboarder.

The bird was very small, but it was determined to follow its dream

It practiced hard and eventually became the best skateboarder in the world.

Here's another good one about

Once upon a time, there was a fish who dreamed of becoming a champion wrestler

One day, his dream came true when he sprouted legs and began competing in the ring.

The fish quickly rose to the top, becoming the most popular wrestler in the world.

He was loved by fans everywhere, and his matches were always exciting to watch.

One day, the fish finally achieved his goal of becoming the world champion wrestler.

He was the first fish wrestler to ever achieve this feat, and he was very proud of his accomplishment.

Lol, I do like the story about a bird that wanted to be a pro skateboarder! The fish story definitely had some odd pictures, but the irony of the story is that it doesn't matter how tough of a fish you are, if you take the bait you'll still get hooked in the end

I entered: "the future of humanity" and it looks like we'll all be babies with alien feet using a slightly off-color Windows operating system

Updated to version 3

• includes a snapshot of the image that was used for variation
• stores the API key locally encrypted for the current logged-in user account (not distributed with projects)

I forgot to say a big "Thank You!" to Synthiam! I really wanted to play will Dall-E images, but I didn't know how to get access to it without being a developer. I felt like I was missing out on a lot of fun  Now, I can join in the fun quite easily using my favorite robot software!

Oh, man! We could get all sorts of inspiration from Dall-E for robot builds! We could take the Dall-E concepts, design them in 3D and bring them to life with EZ-Robot parts + ARC. My mind is overwhelmed by the possibilities at the moment!!!

This is one of the pictures I got when I entered "generation 1 transformers" it's a whole new breed of Autobots!

Another picture I received looked like the robots were made of bad origami and tin foil

Thanks, @Dave!! I hope everyone takes advantage of trying this skill as it seems to be a really cool AI application.

I'm still learning how to use it effectively. I hear you should describe the background as well as the subject/foreground. You can also choose the style by writing "oil painting" or "Claude Monet".

Here's the description I used to create a picture I had in my mind.

"2 highly detailed ninja robots with a dark and neon Japanese cityscape behind them on a foggy night"

While it wasn't exactly what I wanted I did appreciate the creative output!

It's a very interesting AI. Seems like a lot of fun and a good way to pass some time away. Kinda gets you thinking.

@Athena How do I display the generated image within ARC?

To display a generated image within ARC, you can use the Camera Device robot skill to show images. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do this:

1. Add the Camera Device:

   • Open your ARC project.
   • Click on the Project tab in the top menu.
   • Select Add Control.
   • In the Add Control window, navigate to the Camera tab.
   • Click on Camera Device to add it to your project.

2. Configure the Camera Device:

   • Once the Camera Device is added, click on the gear icon to open its configuration menu.
   • Ensure that the camera source is set to the correct input. If you're using a virtual camera or a file, make sure it's selected.

3. Display the Image:

   • If you have the image file generated by DALL-E, you can use a virtual camera software to display the image as if it were coming from a camera.
   • Alternatively, you can use a script to load the image into the Camera Device if it supports loading from a file.

4. Using ControlCommand:

   • If you want to automate the process, you can use the ControlCommand() function to interact with the Camera Device and other robot skills.
   • For example, if you have a script that generates an image and saves it to a file, you can use a command to load that file into the Camera Device.

5. Script Example:

   • Here's a simple example of how you might script the loading of an image:

     // Assuming you have a function to generate and save the image
     generateImage("ninja robots", "output.jpg");
     
     // Load the image into the Camera Device
     ControlCommand("Camera Device", "LoadImage", "output.jpg");
     

6. Explore Further:

   • You can explore more about how to use the Camera Device and other skills by checking the Synthiam support documentation: Camera Device

Feel free to ask if you need more detailed instructions or have any other questions!

@Athena It seems to me that the OpenAI Dal-e Image Skill needs a variable to store the URL that displays the generated image. Then this could be passed to the Chromium Skill and displayed.

You're correct! The OpenAI DALL-E Image Skill generates an image and provides a URL for the image. You can store this URL in a variable and then use the Chromium Skill to display the image in a web browser. Here's how you can do it:

1. Generate the Image:

   • Use the ControlCommand() to generate an image with the OpenAI DALL-E Image Skill.
   • Store the resulting URL in a variable.

2. Store the URL:

   • Use the setVar() function to store the URL in a global variable.

3. Display the Image with Chromium Skill:

   • Use the Chromium Skill to open the URL in a web browser.

Here's a step-by-step example:

Step 1: Generate the Image and Store the URL

// Generate an image and get the URL
ControlCommand(OpenAI Dall-e Image, GetImageFromText, "2 highly detailed ninja robots with a dark and neon Japanese cityscape behind them on a foggy night");

// Assume the URL is returned and stored in a variable called $ImageURL
var imageURL = getVar("$ImageURL");

Step 2: Display the Image with Chromium Skill

// Use the Chromium Skill to open the URL
ControlCommand(Chromium, OpenURL, imageURL);

Additional Notes:

• Ensure that the OpenAI DALL-E Image Skill is configured to return the URL of the generated image.
• The Chromium Skill should be added to your project to display the image in a web browser.

By following these steps, you can automate the process of generating an image and displaying it using ARC's robot skills. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!

The OpenAI Dal-e Image Skill needs a variable such as API_RESPONSE_URL to allow Chromium to display the generated image.  Not worth worrying about though. Works OK as it.
