I like to see examples of using a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) to create images. This Person Does Not Exist<\/a>, for example, features realistic AI-generated human faces. And Janelle Shane’s “AI Weirdness” Web log<\/a> is consistently entertaining. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The more powerful systems are not available to the public, though as of this writing I’m on a waiting list for one that I’d love to try (DALL\u00b7E 2<\/a>). <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

But there are more limited applications that can be used by anyone, and they get better all the time. Here are a few of those. For each, I’ve included examples of things that I’ve entered when I tried them. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n

Pix2Pix<\/div>\r\n

This application enhances line drawings. However, I think it’s no longer available because it became too popular for the host to afford.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Computer Vision Explorer<\/a><\/div>\r\n

This one produces abstract images based on text prompts. For example:

<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n“a monster coming through your bedroom wall at night”\r\n
\r\n

\r\n“a man robbing a candy store”\r\n
\r\n

\r\n“who actually greets you when you get to heaven”\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Pixray Text2Image<\/a><\/div>\r\n

This one produces slightly less abstract images. For example:

<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n“a shopping mall flooded with oatmeal”\r\n
\r\n

\r\n“fish swimming in cheese dip”\r\n
\r\n

\r\n“the most beautiful skeletons travel”\r\n
\r\n

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n
DALL\u00b7E Mini<\/a><\/div>\r\n

This is a limited version of DALL\u00b7E. It also uses text prompts and I find it impressive. For example:

<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

“Robocop fights Ed-209 in a Hieronymus Bosch painting”\r\n
\r\n<\/p>\r\n

“Katamari Damacy as a Katsushika Hokusai woodblock print”\r\n
\r\n<\/p>\r\n

“Katamari Damacy as a Junji Ito drawing”\r\n
\r\n<\/p>\r\n

“Katamari Damacy as a Roger Dean painting”\r\n
\r\n<\/p>\r\n

“Dark Souls birthday party”\r\n
\r\n<\/p>\r\n

“Silent Hill water slide”\r\n
\r\n<\/p>\r\n

“The Exorcist Saturday morning cartoon”\r\n
\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
