Sociotard Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 I've been binging on this topic and I want to start a thread to talk about it. For an article: OpenAI’s DALL-E 2 is a new illustration of AI bias - Vox. These programs are similar in a way to Jukebox for music or GPT3 for text. They don't photobash existing pictures, but they draw on patterns they've learned to associate with certain words. And they're fun! just pop in a few words and get instant gratification. I don't have access to Dall-E, but Midjourney just went to open beta, and I've been having fun with that. Questions: Will this be impactful at all? I saw a few musicians 'collaborate' with Jukebox, taking inspiration from Jukebox output but fixing and improving things. And that was when it was new and fun; I haven't heard of anyone using it recently. It just kind of died. Is that what we should expect here? I've already seen videos of artists drawing inspiration from the machine's output, but still needing to put in a lot of work.

Sociotard Posted July 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 I'm still having fun. Any requests? Playing with what style you ask for is great, but there are obvious holes. I tried asking for some in "precious moments" and it had no idea. Same for Ringerike Norse art. Anyway, here is a double quarter pounder cheeseburger in the style of H R Giger. As with quite a few of these, I could see using it as a launch point for photobashing, but not an endpoint. the middle has a piece that looks too much like a bun, and the meat could use more beef texture. Also, there is no cheese. I asked for a cheeseburger. Same for "Zen Geometry in Celtic style". The symmetry needs corrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sociotard Posted July 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 some prompts are complicated by word associations. I wanted some fantasy images with giants, but using the word "giants" tended to get me creatures with football helmets, because some of the images captioned giants were of the New York Giants. I tried "titan", and the results were clearly influenced by the monsters in "attack on Titan" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sociotard Posted July 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 I find it oddly comforting that text-to-image AI is bad at hands. Really bad. Every novice artist I've ever listened to has complained about the difficulty of hands and feet. I see so many pictures on this site where the hands look like they belong on a gibbering horror. AI has the same problem we do. Old Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sociotard Posted July 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 This comic has been on my mind as I've been playing with MidJourney. I don't know about Dall-E, but I've already seen some codelike specialization creep into the prompts for Midjourney. :: separates phrases -aspect lets you set an aspect ratio for the output image URLs can be used as a prompt input. that isn't particularly codelike but it isn't intuitive either. I just thought that was interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sociotard Posted July 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 Douglas Adams once wrote: "The results were more often surprising than they were accurate, but it was worth it for the times when they were both." That's how I feel at the moment. Giving it just the right prompt is an art, and the joe biden fight is not proving easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some did ... not. I can see bits of pattern from Calvin and hobbes, but this is not Erol Otus at all Mad Max Fury Road in the style of Bill Sienkiewicz worked better Hello Kitty in the style of Simon Bisley is a maybe Dr. Strange by Picasso is okay These stills from Star Trek II do not capture Frank Miller Not horrible, but the faces need cleaned up a lot.

Old Man Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 Lol the Erol Otus one is even more disturbing than Erol Otus' actual work. I really like Lingerie Hello Kitty and her angry pink bomb friend. Dr. Strange looks like the Kardashian one. Is Rob Liefeld actually Picasso? The mesopotamian city one is beautiful, the spaceship in the background really sells it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
