Interesting. I think I can simulate something like a Chladni plate by using a repeating pattern in the diffusion coefficient arrays. I'll have to try that tonight.

There's a style of crochet called "wavy" or "wiggle" crochet that I've been meaning to dip my toe into, and it made me think of that.

Also, a petri dish.

You may think it's a bit much, but when I see stuff like this, I think back to 8088 Corruption and how the person who made that demo built a routine that tried to match each "tile" in the original image with the closest equivalent ASCII character (so a tile with a diagonal line might become a "/" etc) and I wonder how far something like that could be taken. Of course font choice would be crucial, but I wonder just how closely an image could be matched with text. And let's not even get started on overprinting (backing up the print head to print a second character over the first)...

That's awesome.

Ultimately, this is basically a diversion from more generative experiments that I was working on. Ultimately, it still lets me practice some of the techniques for manipulating an image and turning it into array data. The next step, which may not directly translate with this image, is vectorizing it and cutting them on the laser cutter. I am interested in using multiple cut layers in a method not too disimilar to overprinting.

I started playing with Midjourney after @Tinwhistler brought it up again a few weeks ago.

One thing I've found hugely helpful is since you can see others creations in the community and the prompts they used to get there, it's entirely possible to take those and alter what you need to to get a good start at recreating.

Another thing I didn't know was possible until a bit a go was you can take an image link and give that as reference to build prompts on to, including previous creations.

I guess I need to soil my mouth and say "It's like finding out that Logan Paul works for you, because you've never seen his videos before."

I guess the closest thing I can think of that's happened to me before is my most recent wife and I used to hang out in the same circles and had the same friends at school, but we never ended up in the same classes (different grade) or at the same parties, so we never met until I was in my 20s--and then we found out that we had all the same friends. heh.

But even that's not even close, because at least we had the commonality of the same school to bring the probabilities together.

While I've had fun poking around with midjourney, there have been a few times where things like an incomprehensible signature was generated onto an image I was attempting to make because enough of the source images it had pulled from had one so it felt like it should be there. That's always leaned toward more than a bit skeevy to me.

Also, people selling things, be in t-shirts posters or what have you, made from images they created using it and encouraging others to do so was always too much for me.

If the image scraping was done on a volunteer basis where someone signs their work over to be added to the trained AI and only those images are trained off of and used to generate new ones, it'd be a different story. But then you wouldn't have nearly the amount of progression it's had nor it's viral success so quickly because of it. Now this is me assuming a little, much of it's progress forward has been because of the sheer number of images it's likely pulled off the internet, and learned from. If the quantity was lessened it just wouldn't work as well* as it does this quickly.

We’re living in a world in which every style, every idea, and every possible remix can be generated as fast and frictionlessly as possible.

www.newyorker.com

[Niklass] created the basic static images with Midjourney, evoking the Harry Potter actors and outfits through text prompts such as “male model, grotesque, balenciaga commercial.” Then he used ElevenLabs—a “voice-cloning” tool—to create models of the actors’ voices based on previously recorded audio. Finally, he fed the images into a service called D-ID, which is used to make “avatar videos”—subtly animated portraits, not so far off from those that appear in the newspapers of the Potter world.

I have found a halfway decent still-image hosting solution that is good enough to replace imgur for NSFW content to avoid spamming up the attachment library on HF to the tune of 125/day... it's at postimg.cc

Even has decent gallery functionality all for the better of sorting things, and can self-generate thumbnail BBcode for ease of posting. Not that this matters to anyone here particularly I guess, but since this is where I posted the gripe, it's where I'm posting the solution.

GasBandit

Tinwhistler said:

They are. I don't know to what degree, however. The tips for the engine I'm using say it prioritizes the earlier parts of the prompt, and parentheticals add weight, either like (this is a 20% boost to prompt weight:1.2), or (This Boosts Weight), ((This boosts more)), (((This boosts even more)))... I've never seen anybody use 4 nested parentheticals and it doesn't say anywhere how MUCH weight is added by ones without multipliers/nesting.... so I usually use multipliers so I can fine tune. For example, in making posts for the NSFW version of this thread, I've found the practical limit for "incredibly huge breasts" to be about 1.65. Around the 1.7 mark it starts just adding more pairs of breasts instead of increasing size. :confused:

Though I'm sure someone's into that!

Back when I had the covers for my books made, I had a hard time conveying my vision to artists of exactly the size and general look of Berry, the little forest imp. Media has really converged on what "imps" "fairies" "gnomes" and the like should look like.

In my mind was a little mouse-sized creature that was brown and looked twig-like or wood-like so it could have good camouflage in a forest. And while the artists at the time struggled to get it exactly right, AI has done a pretty good job of it.

I definitely wouldn't call myself an AI "artist". But I do enjoy working hard to bring the vision in my head to life as imagery. The stuff I'm able to produce is liable to be unique to me, my vision, and my keywords, so I feel like I'm creating 'something'...but I don't know that it has the same cachet as someone who paints, sculpts, or otherwise has had to spend great amounts of time, effort and talent to hone their craft.

On the other hand, I feel like I probably work a lot harder than some 'artists' who just randomly splash paint on a canvas and call it art.

Nothing here to disagree with.
I have been spending hours and hours just tweaking dials and nobs and changing input here and there, and have been enjoying the hell out of it.

But I don't think I'm creating anything. Like I said, I think I'm just giving a general idea of what I want to see, and the computer is finding some version of reality that "might" be similiar.
Some of my best outputs, "creations", or discoveries, whatever you call them, are so far off the mark from my input text but so genuinely good that my draw drops and I'm in shock.

Trying to actually use the Durrface as the o also probably worked against me.

Indeed, if I stare at the motionless picture I basically can't see it, but if I rapidly roll my mouse wheel up and down so the picture is scrolling quickly, it pops out very obviously.

I like how the hottest new trend in AI art is the revival of classical art techniques from as far back as hundreds of years ago.

Is that what that says? Does she look like someone you might have worked with before?

(honestly, I was just gonna make the girls. But the AI put in what I assume is some fake-hanzi gibberish, and when I put my phone up with google translate, it for the briefest moment translated it as "flee" which I thought was hilarious. But I couldn't force it to recreate the moment, so I got the real symbols for it from google translate and photoshopped it in there..the original script was...

)

But beyond all that...look at their freaking hands! bing is killing it over MJ.

I've got boosts and my first gen is still going after almost an hour. There are multiple complaints in various places of generations taking more than 3 hours, and sometimes more than 24.

Quite a change from OnlyFakes, where I'm used to finishing in 10-15 seconds, 45 if it's at peak times.

I've gotten that error a couple times on innocent prompts. I just re-genned with the same prompt. I read it as "we accidentally created smut, and aren't going to show it to you" when really it should just try another regen itself

Me: That picture looks AI Generated.

GF: Why do you say that?

Me: Well, you can see how her hairstyle abruptly changes texture here, and it can't quite decide where her hair begins and the headscarf ends, and... (etc)

GF: How do you know so much about AI generated images?

Me: Oh, I've used AI to generate over 1800 pictures, myself.

I was casually seeing a girl one time--not quite "girlfriend" level. Just kind "early stages dating" level. And I couldn't see her one weekend because I was at a kink event. I was unspecific as to the event I was going to, but she bugged me about it for like 2-3 weeks afterwards trying to get details. So, I showed her some pictures of my handiwork. It did not go as swimmingly as your story :rofl:
