slowoldman cat. Well it has my beard.

yeah it took me a long time and a lot of experimenting to get decent results, but the main appeal of AI is what I can do with my own photos, I have no interest in copying other peoples styles or churning out anime or whatever. Because my sparse facial hair is only really visible on my upper lip it always gives me a moustache, it's really sensitive to the photos you feed it 😀
Still providing me with endless entertainment




Who can forget Margret Thatchers Glastonbury DJ set...

I miss a photoshop challenge but these are pretty good...

Some Pirate Ships ... no reason just because.


What is going on 🙁

You can use it to design tattoos. For example if you want one instead of your face

I'll try that Tattoo one later.
Also, you can type want you like in the offline version. Approaching unpostable 😉
It does say "No limitations on what you can enter." - but I've found a few key words that cause it to Error. eg, I tried "Dilbert joins the Ku Klux Klan" - wouldn't accept that.. but would accept "Dilbert joins the ku klux klan" . Always errors on the word "sex" too.
Cool. It also does quite beautiful newspaper front pages 😀
A race of people known as 'gammon'

As above but for woke...


On a similar theme, I did a Mary Berry one yesterday. I found it slightly too cruel to post 😆
Ah, ok then.

Sex Pistols do Morris dancing

It's all good fun until computers make everything and artists are worthless.
Not joking, but music will be 100% computer-generated in the future. Punters will not care at all and will buy it. Musicians will be out of a job.
That is sad.

Well we're still ahead of the game with the creation of physical objects such as paintings and sculptures I believe.... for now.
Find it scary when this stuff gets photorealistic and is readily accessible for all ages to play with using any readily available image source.
seems to be quite broken at times.... it loses the ability to do art styles and just makes a random collage of web photos/images

The Surrealist dream!
Not random....

Use of the word collage is wrong when applied to this technology. This why the likes of Getty are taking SD to court, no idea. By the time ot gets there the tech will have moved on lightyears.
Awesome tool for Artists and that title apllies to me. No fear here.
More people creating is good thing, monitizing everything you ( free time) sucks.
Roman Gladiators playing cricket against Nazis at lords in the style of david shepherd

and this is what it produces for the same prompt when broken

Have you tried the Negative Prompt? It produces totally random images. Not sure I understand that bit 😛

I bet the log bangers* said something similar when violins appeared... the violinists said that when guitars came along... the guitarists when synths... etc etc
*they may have had a better name
"Log banger neanderthal making music". Looks worried eh!

interestingly I was reading some dude's blog the other day where he'd been playing about with getting ChatGPT to programmatically generate CAD data which he could then 3D print... so essentially an AI generated sculpture. Actually, googling it, loads of people have been doing this, so I gave it a shot. I asked it to come up with something original along with a theme. Most of the code it generates doesn't work, which is not uncommon with ChatGPT 😃, usually you can fix it if you know what you're doing but I've never used OpenSCAD before so no chance! Here's one that did work though, its interpretation of "sea monster":Well we’re still ahead of the game with the creation of physical objects such as paintings and sculptures I believe…. for now.

Is that a mk. 1 Vauxhall Aguila? Lovely. I'm going to unleash that on the robot artist later.
I knew I should've cropped the car out! 😆
Insufficient training data. Does not know what a Vauxhall Aguila looks like. Sadface emoji. 
Strange you'd think it's internet searching would pick something up. That's a beautiful picture anyway 😀
I do find it can be addictive. The super-abundance of imagery available at the click of a button. I'm using the one without the negative prompt as there's no waiting for it in a queue before processing begins. These were generated using the phrase "cyborg machines splashing at crowded beach". Was looking at them thinking they could be part of a comic book or something. They could be preparatory sketches for actual physical paintings with material paint on paper or canvas - if I still made paintings - but they look like the kind of stuff I was trying to produce. I always found being selective about my work difficult, same with this. Used to invent rules about how I would produce my paintings in an effort to reduce how much selectivity was needed. To avoid saying "I'm going to make a painting about xyz" and then having to stick to that. Never made it as a professional artist or anything close.

That much is obvious!
Funnily enough, I plan on turning some of the images I’ve got from it into paintings. None I’ve posted here, obviously 😊 Will be interesting to see how “satisfying” the results will be. I’m not sure, but my mate persuaded me to have a go.
“Dilbert joins the Ku Klux Klan”
Did'nt get much back on this one.
Saved a few for furture projects as well. Such a great tool, love it.
I'm sure my online worked has been scraped... but so what.
And, some thing cant been posted... I'm PornHub are looking into the tech as well....IGMC.
Disney meet GoT.
Have you tried the ControlNet photo manipulation? Its good but can be really slow. I didn’t know what the manipulation types meant, so asked ChatGBT! The answer was brilliant 😁

I wonder who the copyright belongs to ?
I was wondering that too. Those were done by Microsoft Bing Chat. I doubt that MS have any practical way to police copyright, but I'm sure there will be courtcases coming before long.

Copyright ?
If I imagined, say a castle from my imagination or seen knowledge of a a castle. Put it to paper, the copyright is mine.
If a computer creates an image from it's thought cloud (not a collage) for it belong to the computer who created or the software creators ?

Sorry to lower the tone.
