I recently got access to DALL-E and wanted to experiment with what it could and couldn't understand. (I'm a little behind the times, I know. Us non-famous people have to spend a while longer on the waitlist.) Most of the other investigations into DALL-E seemed to be focusing on highly complicated real-world concepts, so I went the other way and tried very simple, abstract things.

DALL-E is incredibly bad at this. It doesn't seem to be able to generalize at all, and it refuses to draw anything simple without adding a bunch of extra details I didn't ask for.
