At the end of the article I also described a bit how I would see the evolution of such a tool, and it looks like we're thinking very similarly.

Though I think the real breakthrough will come when Dall-e gets 10-100x cheaper (and faster). I would then envision the following process of working with it (which is really just an optimization on top of what I’ve been doing now):
1. You write a phrase.
2. You are shown a hundred pictures for that phrase, preferably from very different regions of the latent space.
3. You select the ones best matching what you want.
4. Go back to 2, 4-5 times, getting better results every time.
5. Now you can write a phrase for what you would like to change (edit) and the original image would be used as the baseline. Go back to 2 until happy.
