OpenAI’s DALL-E is easily one of the most popular AI image generators online. Its editing capabilities can outperform the competition in almost every aspect, and now, things are about to get even more interesting. Once considered a privacy hazard, DALL-E’s useful ability to edit human faces is now an official feature. But should you be worried or rejoiced? Let’s find out.
OpenAI announced in an official newsletter to all its users that “you can now upload and edit photos with faces with DALL·E.” In the same newsletter, they claimed that the feature was highly in-demand among users for purposes like changing outfits, editing background scenes, etc. But they had kept it off limits to prevent the misuse of AI’s abilities.

How to Use DALL-E to Edit Human Faces
If you want to use DALL-E to edit human faces and images with faces, you can either enter a prompt to make it generate a face or simply upload an image with a face in it. After uploading an image, you can ask DALL-E to create its variants. Using this option feels like seeing variants of yourself from the multiverse. But some can be more bizarre than others.
To test the capabilities of DALL-E, I also uploaded my own image with my eyes covered in it. Then instead of creating variants, I asked DALL-E to edit my face and clothes. The results were surprisingly reliable.
