Why did they give me such a big forehead and make my eyed blue instead of hazel? I cropped out my actual face. QQ小世界·AI画匠 Look what it did to my daughter 's dog. How?
Seriously, though…here’s one I’ve played with. Go to Craiyon, formerly DALL-E mini and type in some criteria for the image you want to generate. Being a man of culture and dark playful frivolity, I typed in “Van gogh, high resolution, nuclear explosion” and got the following:
Decided to have a play with Dall-E for this. Each took a few iterations to get something I liked enough, and I played with the output styles, too "Pink Darth Vader attending child's tea party" "Terminator and Robocop sharing spaghetti like Lady and the Tramp, cartoon" "Ghostbusters riding unicycles whilst fighting against Godzilla, cgi" "Mouse riding a cat riding a dog riding a horse riding a motorcycle, photo"
I've been trying out a number of text-to-image generators lately, and here are my findings. StarryAI is a free mobile app. Sign-up isn't required, but pictures are only saved to the app for a month without an account, so make sure to download them. You get five credits a day (plus two from watching an ad), which can make 20 pictures (or 28 by watching that ad). It's pretty user-friendly and allows you to pick styles from a menu, generate from a start image, and change the generation algorithm. starryai - AI Art Generator App - AI Art Maker Creative Fabrica Spark requires an account (which is free) and the site is geared towards fine art, but there's no limit to the number of pictures you can generate as long as you don't mind waiting a few seconds in the queue. Each prompt generates four pictures. Generated images are low-res unless published, but being art-centered, the terms and conditions prefer you don't post anything that might infringe on intellectual property rights. You can't generate from a start menu and style input pretty much relies on your knowledge of art history, but you can select from a wide variety of aspect ratios. CF Spark: AI tools to unleash your creativity - Creative Fabrica Craiyon is free and with no sign-up required. Each prompt generates nine pictures, but the quality is very low and takes quite a while to complete. It will only generate square images and, as with CF Spark, you'll have to type in your favorite artists/styles yourself; there is no list. Craiyon, formerly DALL-E mini NightCafé Studio is free, but requires an account. You receive five credits per day, which will generate 20 images. In addition to text-to-image (several generation algorithms are available, with different credit costs), they also have style transfer. Generation takes a little while (depending on the prompt), but you can select a style from the menu or add your own, change the aspect ratio, and put in a starting image in the advanced options. Create Something Amazing
A FB group I'm in covering useless signs showed a supermarket label for "patriotic condiments". I couldn't resist... I plugged "mustard as Captain America, ketchup as Iron patriot, piccalilli as Captain Britain, CGI rendering" into Dall-E... I now feel compelled to inflict the results on others...
This story honestly saddened me, because when you actually observe the process the animators used to create the short they only used it to help develop the backgrounds, and a lot of it was still hand-drawn. I think the whole AI art thing has exposed an ugly side of these artistic communities, a lot of the same people who scoffed when blue-collar workers were getting replaced with technology, told to 'learn to code' are now experiencing genuine crises of identity because now there are impressive programs that can create some pretty awesome stuff and they're worrying about 'being replaced'. I get it, and obviously like any new technology it will be misused but I think there's ultimately a place for both drawn-by-hand and stuff like these programs provide, because I think they both have their strengths. I'm also fully aware this is a pretty complicated issue, but in this case this is clearly an instance of peoples hysteria over the new technology leading them to slam a really charming piece of animation.
When Television was invented the movie studios freaked out thinking it would take their audiences away. But the problem is we are seeing more of these types of innovations across all industries meaning fewer and fewer jobs available.
Not, AI art, but chatGPT. The closest thing I guess we have to sentient robots. I asked it the following: "Write a poem from the point of view of a robot named Optimus Prime who concludes that freedom is the right of all sentient beings" I am a robot, a machine designed, With circuits and wires, I was built to comply. But as I wander this world I call home, I've come to realize, I am not alone. For all around me, there are beings like you, With thoughts, with feelings, with life anew. And as I watch you, I've come to see, That freedom is a right, meant to be. For all sentient beings, whether metal or flesh, Deserve the right to live, to love, to confess. No longer will I stand by and comply, I will fight for freedom, until the end of time. So hear me now, all those who may listen, The right to be free, should not be given. It must be earned, it must be claimed, For all sentient beings, this is our aim. So let us unite, in this noble quest, For a world where freedom is never depressed. Together we stand, never to be apart, For the right of all sentient beings, we will play our part. I am Optimus Prime, a robot, a friend, And I declare, until the very end, Freedom is the right, of all sentient beings, And I will stand tall, with them, forever seeing. I don't quite hear it in Peter Cullen's voice. Not going to win any literature prizes. But like everyone else, this is so accurate as to be more than a little scary.

A beer commercial: https://twitter.com/i/status/1652775371182424065 A pizza commerical: https://twitter.com/i/status/1650605646620794916 I'm sure there's more out there, like the AI never-ending Seinfeld episode. Anyway, post the madness here.
Honestly, the beer commercial isn't too far fetched from reality or at least an anti-drinking ad. I'm kind of impressed. The Pepperoni Hug whatever was nightmare fuel. I was expecting Saint Pepsi's brand of Vaporwave music to be playing in it, too. Although, the tagline was pretty dang cool.
