What does that link do?
The confirmation link should only be going to accomplice.ai unless Sendgrid is doing some link tracking that I've just forgotten about. Could you forward that email to adam at accomplice dot ai if you get a chance. Thanks for letting me know!
Same thing happened to me multiple times across multiple platforms: SendGrid, Mandrill, MailJet, MailGun. I always turn off the tracking (enabled by default on all of them), but magically its back on a few weeks/months later. I've given up finding a solution and just revisit my settings every few months to check on it.
The two “african american” ones look south or maybe southeast asian (and the one of those that is a “young...girl” looks like a, maybe young, adult.)
All the ones without a racial/ethnic prompt are white, and disproportionately blue eyed (again, including sclerae.)
(It indicate “diverse”, and yet all of the examples read white or Asian, though the unlabeled darker-skinned male figure in the group of six at the top is ambiguous enough to be plausibly be something else.)
The “beautiful woman with curly red hair” has rather radical facial asymmetry, and straight to slightly wavy hair.
In one sense it's kind of like a much "smarter" photoshop filter, where it can make your own art/photos look more like what you want (ex: Van Gogh, Dali, Picasso, or combinations of those, or something completely weird/new/different).
You could also train the models on your own work and have it generate art in your own style that could inspire you or could be useful to you either as a base to work from or that you could take interesting elements from to create new art.
Similar things can be done in music, by the way, and that would be really useful to musicians too.
Poets could use something like this to create poetry, novel writers to write novels, etc..
This is really an improvement on the collaboration potential between humans and computers -- which is probably why it's called "Accomplice".
i.e. The ability to easily take your logo and stylize it: https://accomplice.ai/@adam/iterations/2bcc90ad-3237-486a-8d...
Create a photorealistic avatar whenever you need it: https://accomplice.ai/@adam/iterations/988b7d54-dc39-43b1-b5...
Easily remove the background of a photo: https://accomplice.ai/models/97746c4b-c6f0-49cb-ae1b-859716b...
Upscale a photo: https://accomplice.ai/models/bd4619ee-8202-4cf0-a04e-291820f...
Etc etc. AI can make all this stuff easier. And you have a sense of ownership over what you create. All in one place where you can collaborate on all of it with your team. I feel like that's valuable. It's certainly a tool I've always wanted.
But, also, as a bit of an aside – if the Googles and OpenAIs of the world are just going to bite every artist's style anyway with a mostly black box service and training set… it feels like the option for an artist to train/finetune their own model, promote it and possibly make money off of that is worth trying.
My current approach is a "model marketplace" (https://accomplice.ai/models) where the most popular open source text-to-image models (VQGAN+CLIP, Disco Diffusion, DALL-E Mega coming soon…), sit alongside the most popular open source style transfer models, and then finally I have the ability for a user to finetune their own models using a simple drag-and-drop tool (https://accomplice.ai/no-code-model-training).
Using this approach a user has enough models to try or train that they can have a higher hit rate. For example, Accomplice currently has finetuned models for photo realistic people (https://accomplice.ai/models/f58bfa91-bb18-406f-a0e1-db00fcf...), watercolor backgrounds (https://accomplice.ai/models/91b8a080-faca-4ff4-8b11-64b0789...), etc…
So theoretically if there were a searchable marketplace of 100s of different finetuned models people could choose from, they would use it much like an iStockPhoto and be able to create the kind of images they want instead of just downloading them.
But it's of course a constant work in progress. Slowly growing though and lots of promising stuff ahead!
