There's a fine line between so descriptive that the AI hits an edge case and can't get out of it (so every attempt looks the same) and not being descriptive enough (so you can't capture the output you're looking for). DALL-E is already incredibly fast compared to public models and I can't wait for the next order-of-magnitude improvement in generation speed.
Real-time traversal of the generation space is absolutely key for getting the output you want. The feedback loop needs to be as quick as possible, just like with programming.

I've been sketching around a two-person browser game where a pair of prompters can plug things in together in real-time :D
Damn I am salivating to get access to Dall-E for some projects. Been on the waiting list for quite a while.
I've been experimenting with Midjourney, which is amazing for spooky/ethereal artwork, but it struggles with complex prompts and realism.
That said, some styles (Comic book spreads) seem to come out better on Craiyon. And DALLE 2 does not know what a Crungus is.
You definitely have to play around with prompts to get a feel for how it works and to maximize the chance of getting something closer to what you want.
MJ falls apart when you ask for fine detail. It's a bit of the AI cliche where you have to describe the colour, shape, etc in detail to mold what you want. Asking for a "monkey, gorilla, and chimp riding a bicycle" might have a chimp riding a monkey-gorilla as a bicycle.
Dall E is a lot better with words. It seems to "smooth" some stuff. Like asking for a bone axe will still show regular axes.
But MJ is probably the best choice if you want to do landscapes and stuff, especially horror/dystopian themed.

Maybe that’s a feature not a bug.
You could be right though. It does "digital art" well, but realistic faces poorly, and they slap down lots of restrictions to avoid deepfaking.
"This person doesn't exist" uses StyleGAN which can definitely do faces, but can't do general pictures.
Interesting topic
Also Gwern has done a lot on this.
