While the sudden success did result in some growing pains, that didn't stop the demand, and with good reason - it's an amazing piece of technology and gave the everyperson the ability to see, "touch", and play with machine learning.
It seems the time has come for DALL-E Mini to evolve further, and with that morph into something new like many of the images and visions it helped generate.
