AI image generators

[bob]

Has anyone else seen the incredible things that can be done with AI now? I stumbled across the Dalle-2 subreddit, and some of the stuff it creates is astonishing.

Spider-man from ancient Rome

Napoleon crossing the Alps on a Harley Davidson

a cybertronic bison, leds, high detail, sharp, studio, digital art

Karl Marx as a Happy Meal toy

Mario finds a mushroom

 

There are a few versions available, with varying degrees of quality and strengths. Most are invite only, and most have a limited amount of runs per user to stop the servers being over-run, but they are fun to try out.

These things are going to revolutionise certain industries. Concept art can be generated with a couple of sentences. Stock photographs are basically dead. When it eventually makes the jump to 3D, it's going to make creating video game assets amazingly easy. 

Clearly there are the more scary aspects of it, as they get more and more difficult to discern from real photos, they could be used to generate actual fake news, which is worrying.

 

What are your thoughts? I've just gained access to Dalle-2 after a while on a waiting list.

Here's a guinea pig destroying Manhattan.

It's impressive tech, but I feel like this and deepfakes will end up destroying the world in one way or another

Why isn't yours hyper realistic like the other examples?

[bob]

You have to add a few qualifiers to get exactly what you want. Sometimes it defaults to cartoony, other times photorealistic. 

I tried adding 'news footage', but it didn't really help.

Adding 'photorealistic' gets worse.

 

This one is "A guinea pig storming the Bastille"

There's something a bit unnerving about knowing we can't really trust what we see on screens anymore! Although I'm sure people felt the same when Photoshop became a thing.

A bit early, but Merry Christmas motherfuckers.

Made with Midjourney, linked in the OP.

It's a fun result, but not a good result.

Maybe I'll try out Dalle at some point, supposedly it's better.

 

Edit:

And another one.

.. Don't ask.

 

Edit 2:

And last one for today.

Apparently the original got suspended on Twitch because the AI Seinfeld started doing some antisemitic and homophobic standup...

I'd put the Laugh Factory clip here but it seems innapropriate.
