Nobody is able to use Parti or eDiff. Compared to models you can use, the experimental Dall-e or Bing Image Creator is second only to midjourney in my experience.

I haven't tried those two, but I'd be surprised if they were better than Stable Diffusion. Which is free, runnable (and trainable!) locally, and already has a large ecosystem of frontends, tweaks and customized models.

Believe me, i know all about SD's possible customization and tweaks.

I would still easily put both ahead of the base models. You won't match the quality of those models without finetuning. When you do fine-tune, it'll be for a particular aesthetic and you won't match them in terms of prompt understanding and adherence.

Parti/eDiff show that it is relatively easy to do much better than the experimental model which presumably represents their best effort, never mind the hot garbage you see in OP from DALL-E 2. And it's not a calculated degree of low-quality enabled by those models being unreleased and having no competition, because competition like Stable Diffusion or Midjourney are beating the heck out of DALL-E 2 in popular usage.
