DALL-E 2 trying buildings: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, digital art

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issues lots of artist renderings of forthcoming temples, has lots of images of their physical temples available online, and a lot of art created representing these buildings also gets shared online. With that in mind, I gave DALL-E 2 the prompt “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, digital art” and was not disappointed

These are impressive, while it messes up lines and proportions a bit, it nails the actual style used for the real-world artist renderings of future buildings. For comparison, here are a few real examples of future buildings:

The DALL-E 2 generated ones just seem like rough drafts before a final version was put together, quite impressive!
