Since AI can already reproduce damaged artworks, the next logical step is having OpenAI’s DALL-E 2 use its new ‘Outpainting’ feature to see outside the frame of famous paintings. Simply put, it essentially extends the original image and creates large-scale images in any aspect ratio. It takes into account the image’s existing visual elements, whether it be shadows, reflections, or textures, to maintain the context of the original image.
Currently, there are over 1-million people using DALL·E, the AI system capable of generating original images and artwork from a natural language description (text prompt). Several artists have already generated amazing images with the new Outpainting feature, and in turn helped the OpenAI team better understand its capabilities in the process.
