AI Generated Images with Stable Diffusion

Hooovahh — Tue, 06 Sep 2022 15:04:25 GMT

So I saw some news stuff about AI generated images. But once a friend of mine showed me it in action I had to set it up and play around. The technology is absolutely amazing and has tons of uses.

There are a few ways to set it up. I first went with the python development method mostly described here. But there is also a Windows installer with mostly everything you need from here. You do need an Nvidia GPU with 4GB of VRAM, 8GB is recommended.

But after setting it up oh boy have I been having fun. There are just so many good and bad ones I don't want to flood this post, but here are a couple of my favorites.

Ron Swanson as Ironman

Ron Swanson as the Terminator

Chris Pratt as Captain America

Phoenix on an alien planet

Blue Tesla getting struck by lightning in the city

Lighthouse on an alien planet

People can also take images and ask the program to change it in interesting ways. Artists are using this to get ideas of what to make and inspiration. Game developers are using this for tiling of textures. You can use this for AI upscaling of images too. So much cool development around this tech.

I used one of the online ones and asked it for a "LabVIEW block diagram" and it gave me a lot of images that looked like this:

I've seen a couple articles today on this subject, and they have some pretty cool uses. This one talks about a very abstract MSPaint level drawing of Seattle, and then turning it into some kind of alien invasion future.

And here are a few more from my Napoleon Bonaparte tests.

Diffusion is AWESOME! I'm impressed beyond words by what i've seen!

I've made me a logo for my discord with it. 🙂

Could someone try "Steve Watts" + "Judge Dredd"? 😁

So you can add training information to it, but it gets even more demanding on your PC. And my computer is just barely good enough to generate images, not additional training data. Here is a video from a VFX crew that takes images of the employees, and asks the AI to insert them into scenes to a story.

Never mind I upgraded my computer. I wanted to make a better Linkedin profile picture, since I've hated mine for years. So I trained the AI on Google Colab with 20 pictures of my face. Then I took that back into my computer running AI generating code locally. The result is my new Linkedin profile picture.

This office isn't real, the suit isn't real, and I'm not real.

More like "I am the Architect"

(I didn't want to waste too much time on this one. I could have made it better. I probably spent 3 hours or so on my Linkedin profile picture over the weekend. This took about 10 minutes.)

Stable Diffusion is so silly good it's close to scary!

I love how at first glance it looks completely normal and then if you try to look at the details, it's all Penrose stairs (especially those folders on the right).

Yeah it's like oh that's an Apple computer...sorta. That's a pretty strange keyboard. My arms are also a bit weird too. I tried having the computer generate new arms, but most of the time it made me an amputee so I left it at this.

Re: AI Generated Images with Stable Diffusion

AeroSoul — Mon, 05 Dec 2022 06:22:35 GMT

Now that you mention it, the keyboard does look like a melted bar of chocolate and your left arm looks like it's on backwards 😄

Oh boy the saga continues. So we aren't just building images with text for AI, but AI can also generate written text given simple prompts too. So naturally someone asked the AI to generate text stating that AI generated art isn't real art.

Which then lead into someone asking an AI to generate text explaining why AI art is better.

This stuff is really cool. Here is a podcast talking about it. They do a bunch of examples of generating real usable code.

Slightly off topic, but ChatGPT might interest you:

Freaky, really... Esp. the Python examples come close to home. Although I haven't seen LabVIEW examples, apparently the algorithm deals with every that can be broken down in tree structures .

To the (rational) me, magic is the opposite of reality, so if it's reality it can't be magic. It's fun to see in action either way.

It is really impressive though:https://youtu.be/0A8ljAkdFtg?t=973

The Ai is asked to respond like a linux command line. And it does. It's asked to create a file, joke.txt and fill it with a joke. Ls lists the file, and opening the file shows the joke. A bit further on it's asked to create a docker and to run Python in it... And it does.

The (rational) me... It wasn't a quote, there's no source nor reason.

Magic is a bit like the term 'supernatural'. Supernatural can't exist, because if it did, it's natural simply because it exist. If magic is possible, it's not magical simply because it is possible.

A lot of stuff we find normal now would have been considered magic at the time it didn't exist, but only because it didn't exist back then.

The word "technology" means "magic". It's basically anything that's really cool that you don't know how it works. And if it breaks, you have to buy a new one.

I use that quote all the time, but no one gets the reference.
