What's fascinating is what img2img adds to the creative process. Text to image was pretty cool, but not super interesting to me. But seeding the output with something I've drawn, with a drawing befitting a 3-year old's work of art, really adds to it, because of the larger part you're taking in the output's creation. It's like that story from the 50's when cake mix was first introduced, with a recipe of water+cake mix to make a cake. It flopped, and was pulled from the market. They reintroduced it, with a new recipe of water+egg+cake mix instead, and was a success. The added egg made it feel just that much more like cooking, and I think the same thing is happening here with img2img.

Is snopes even reputable anymore? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4042194/Facebook-fa...

I don't know, but this article definitely is not.

If your comment is satire: well done.

Cracking effort either way...

That was an awesome video. I can't wait for someone to inevitably start a The Joy of pAInting twitch feed, complete with chill commentary and occasionally ruining the canvas with a daring addition to the picture.

I found this one to be really rad too: https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/x0u9a8/ama...

Yeah I've been using the same iterative process using img2img. Using AI removes most of the toil (tedious masking and colour matching and relighting images) involved in this kind of photo manipulation work. As these tools improve it will be interesting to see what professional artists can do with it.

Can we see your work of art?

Sure, why not.

Here's the before[0], and here's the after[1].

And an example of a step in-between: The base was [2] which I changed into [3]. That was I think the last step before the final generation.

It's not great by any means, but it's miles ahead of what I could hope to achieve myself. The biggest problem was to stop stable diffusion from turning my flying island into a pretty standard mountain. It kept trying to connect it to the ground. Especially in further iterations.

This is beautiful. Seeing all of this AI art has me very interested in a way that I've never been since I started programming decades ago.

That’s awesome, thanks for sharing!

What prompts did you use ?

That demo is amazing. I feel like I’m living in the future watching that. Great stuff.
