DALL-E 2 has a secret dictionary of gibberish, and it's not just being polite about it
Ourtake
Turns out the nonsense was a language all along, and the filters didn't speak it.
What happened
University of Texas researchers found that DALL-E 2 responds consistently to certain nonsense strings that appear in its garbled text output, so those strings can be used to steer what it generates. The authors said the strings could be used to bypass OpenAI's text input filters. The researchers planned further study of the vocabulary.
