They take too long to generate, but there is no clear indication of that. You should add a spinning mouse or other thing that shows that the server is working. (A robot paining a canvas would be nice, but you need someone that can make nice drawings. A hourglass or a spinning circle are good enough.)

Agreed. That's already one of the things I have on the list for v2, "make image summoning more obvious/loading" and also we'll improve the button location for "Summoning new images" because it's likely that users won't want to scroll to the bottom just to generate new images.

I'd make the working indicator a top priority. It's not so difficult to add, but it makes the UI much better.

You're absolutely right. We'll likely have a fix rolled out for this and a few other things on Monday.

Summoning, I like that~

Seances aren't easy things to get working with ones and zeros.

Or in any other context, for that matter!

Dall-E 2 does something great: Show prompts and examples of images that those prompts generate. This educates your consumer to be able to get more of what they want while they wait. It kind of tickles the desire for mastery.
