OpenAI's decision to wind down support for DALL-E 2, an AI image generation model that created photorealistic images based on text descriptions, marks the end of an era for a group of artists and tech enthusiasts who formed a tight-knit community around the technology. The service's debut in April 2022 sparked wonder and debate, but has since been surpassed by newer models. Beta testers, who bonded over their pioneering exploration of the technology, felt like they had a portal into infinite alternate worlds and merged language and visual imagination in novel ways.
