DALL-E is a computer program developed by OpenAI that is capable of generating images from textual descriptions. The name "DALL-E" is a combination of the artist Salvador Dali and the character EVE from the movie Wall-E. Using natural language descriptions as input, DALL-E can create a wide range of images, from fantastical creatures to everyday objects, and even scenes with abstract concepts. The technology behind DALL-E is based on a generative model called GPT-3, which was trained on a massive amount of text data to enable it to understand human language and generate responses.

In this future society, technology, particularly AI plays a crucial role in helping individuals become better versions of themselves. Through personalized feedback, insights into decision-making processes, and input from others, AI can assist people in making choices that reflect their deeper values and goals.

AI-powered fitness and sleep trackers, financial apps, career coaches, and time management apps are some examples of how AI can provide personalized feedback to help individuals improve their health, finances, and productivity. By analyzing past choices and behaviors, AI can help individuals identify patterns and biases that may prevent them from making decisions that align with their values.

Moreover, new technologies such as decision markets and aligned AI-powered social media platforms can provide individuals with input from others whose opinions they care about. This feedback can help individuals better understand how their choices and behaviors are perceived by others and make decisions that align with their values and goals.

However, the society recognizes that AI is not a panacea and that its effectiveness is only as good as the effort put into it. Therefore, society must ensure that AI aligns with their values and works towards this goal.
