DALL-E Mini, the newest meme image-generation tool, is making waves on the internet. The app is easy to use. All you need to do is type a word, and a series of nine pictures will appear right before you.

The new AI meme machine has quickly gone viral for some reason. Some photos look funny, while the other results are horrifying. 

The app developer Hugging Face is shocked upon knowing that it has huge user traffic, and here's why.

All over the social media platforms, people have been sharing various results generated from the Dall-E Mini website. According to Wired's recent report, the AI tool is said to be generating around 50,000 photos every day.

The same story says that DALL-E came from the two words: Salvador Dali, a Spanish painter best known for his surrealist artworks, and Wall-E from the 2008 sci-fi animated film.

Although it's fascinating to see that a single text prompt could generate nearly a dozen different images, there are some reminders to using it. 

The AI could be a double-edged sword for businesses since it can produce a unique artwork, but that's not all about it. On the downside, it can deceive the users into thinking that the subjects are real.

The app's web page says that it may "reinforce exacerbate societal biases" or produce stereotypical results that might impact the minority.

DALL-E Mini Images Are Creepy

Upon testing DALL-E Mini and typing "Elon Musk," we found out that the results are nightmarish. Oftentimes, the faces are tainted with unusual highlights, and they are either distorted or warped.

Some photos display discoloration, while some lack a body part or it's slightly altered. Wired says that the AI model behind this tool generates images from nearly 30 million labeled photos.

It should be noted that the AI produces strange pictures because it has no idea about the behavior of the objects in the real-time space. This is the reason why it could not properly create desirable images.

AI Manipulation is Alarming

In the age of deep fakes, people can be easily tricked by a single image. This issue has sparked controversy among researchers and policymakers since AI manipulation could count as a violation.

In 2019, the experts discovered that the deepfake clips were surging in numbers. In just seven months, the numbers increased to 84%.

At the time, California made deepfake distribution illegal, especially when it featured politicians. Of course, this trend is very dangerous to all people since manipulation and misinformation can happen at the same time.

Last month, Fortune reported a deepfake version of Kyiv (Ukraine) mayor Vitali Klitschko was circulating online. At least four mayors from Europe had reportedly engaged in a video call with the fake official.
