AI dresses my cat for Halloween

ALT

My cat would hate wearing a costume, so I've resorted to using DALL-E2 to imagine her dressed up for Halloween. It does some costumes better than others.

When I try to get DALL-E2 to dress my cat up as other animals, one common failure mode seems to be… this.

It has accurately put my cat into a plush giraffe onesie complete with hood, cuffs, and zipper, but it has also turned my cat into a giraffe.

Another failure: scorpion costume.

dalle2 seems to revert to generic "insect" features when trying to put together a scorpion costume.

"yes i know you wanted to be a scorpion but this is what they had. you look lovely."

Another category of costume that gives it trouble: things with horns and snouts.

I have no explanation for its tapir costumes.

It's not that Dall-e doesn't know what a tapir is - it's more like it's bad at picturing more than one kind of animal at a time. Here's a tapir in a tapir costume for comparison.

I would wear some of these outfits though.
