OpenAI's second-generation image model that democratized AI art. Once revolutionary, it was deprecated from the API as DALL·E 3 (integrated directly into ChatGPT) made the standalone model obsolete.

Collateral damage: Apps built on the DALL-E 2 API had to migrate to a completely different image generation interface.
