> I have been experimenting with using DALL-E 2 to design a logo. I gave it a description, and then it gives me an image with random-looking text superimposed on the image. For example, I said, “Design an impressionistic logo for a jazz guitarist” and it gave me an nice image with “Juszt Gister” written at the bottom. Others had “Jigin Jun” and “Pasti Pistor Pation”. Any idea what is going on here? It would be reasonable to use “Lorem Ipsum” style placeholder text if you could just replace it but in some cases it’s overlaid on the image so you can’t just Photoshop it out.

The AIs sometimes manage to integrate something similar to words in your prompt, such as “juszt gister” clearly comes from “jazz guitar”. ([Here](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/digital-art-creator-algorithm-website/962081/518) is one of mine that comes close to writing the word “cotton”.)

You should try using Stable Diffusion at [this](https://playgroundai.com/create) site. If you have an area you don’t like on an otherwise interesting image, you can mark that area and have the AI redo just that area (this is called "inpainting).
