    It really sucks that you'd do this.

    This is a word predictor fed on billions of tokens of text. Because it has been trained on human writing, it makes characteristically human mistakes (including spelling, grammar, a…

    Incredible! I had no clue this existed. Thank you for pushing me down a rabbit hole for the last 45 minutes :-)

    I was similarly surprised, but it's true. The original text is essentially the exact same (probably a 99.9% overlap) with the exception of a few spelling mistakes or grammar errors…

    Hmm.. I may or may not speak French. Thanks for the idea.

    Thanks for the input. I'm working on adding print functionality as we speak - let you know when it's up.

    Absolutely! I was planning on providing this, but wanted to keep the model free of commercial services. There are open-source alternatives out there, though, which I may add suppor…

    These are gorgeous! Great work.

    Yes, good point. I think a major part of the appeal is the backstory. I do love abstract art, though, so I'm probably a non-representative sample :-)

    Certainly a good point. Unfortunately, the output size is constrained by the training data (which in this case was ~800x800px). I think it would be kind of a pain to find 14,000 90…

    Thanks for the input! I'll add that functionality and let you know as soon as it's ready.

    Definitely something I considered while feeding it a tremendous number of famous paintings (Rothko, Pollock, etc). Considering the nature of random seed generation/traversing throu…

    Close! I used anime to test the basic functionality/UI of the site. Transfer learning was in fact done on the FFHQ512 dataset from Nvidia (I figured the complexity of its features …

    Completely fair assessment. Thanks for the input. I look up to Gwern quite heavily, so seeing myself referenced in the same sentence is nice - cheers.

    This is correct. I agree with many of the commentators below - I could have been clearer. I simply didn't want to pay for a 24/7 GPU to generate on-the-spot (a little short on fund…

    Good thinking. Yes, that is correct.

    Thank you. I love the clear, intelligent user interface of your site - it's given me a lot of inspiration for future projects. Keep in touch!

    Correct. This is actually quite doable with word embedding or image classification of a topic, semantic analysis, and then providing those as input to a network like the one I used…

    Excellent idea. I'll see what I can do.

    This disturbed me in all the right ways.

    Comment #23934589

    Correct! I pre-generated 10,000 random seeds so I wouldn't have to rent a 24/7 GPU. The current plan is to upload a new slate of 10,000 each month.

    I used plenty of Malevich while training, so that makes sense. Glad you enjoyed.
