Re: 1SecondPainting: Generate abstract paintings in one click
#72I think AI is currently able to generate images I find pleasant to look at, but they have no impact on me beyond that momentary enjoyment. It is still decoration and not yet art, according to my personal definitions. When I can tell an AI to make an image about the Spanish Civil War and it produces Guernica, then I will be impressed in the way human artists impress me. And then we will have a powerful new tool to com…
But how much of that is context? Is the absence of deeper impact because you're aware that a soulless NN produced these, or is it something intrinsic in them?
I'm not at all an art expert, but I definitely looked at several of them and could easily picture a critic describing the significance of the relationship between the shapes and colours.

#73This isn't live/dynamically generated, but if it was, what would be a good way of architecting it in a basic implementation? Say you keep the WordPress site, do you then just send a request to some endpoint that is served by python which keeps the model in memory for quick responses?

I feel the same way about many human-produced works, regardless of critics' views, so the fact that I'm aware these are produced by NN is probably not the only explanation.

The are pre-generated, by chance I got the same image within 10 clicks URL to images is https://1secondpainting.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/XXXX....

Likely they used transfer learning on an anime face model.

Yeah, it sounds like in that case your criticism may be more about abstract art as a style than it is about whether a given piece was produced by a human or a machine.

The language on the landing page suggests that every time you click Try Now a new image is generated. > Click the button below for an AI-generated abstract painting. Built for artists, developers, and hobbyists. Really though there is a gallery of around 10,000 pngs on a Wordpress site. Fake it 'til you make it!
I would say that the part you quoted suggests it's not generated on the spot. However,the sentence in the huge font right before the one you quoted could be reasonably interpreted to suggest it's generated on the spot. And as you mention it just looks like a gallery of images that was already generated. It's still cool, but I'm a bit irked at the misleading framing. Gwern's website showed us amazing text generation f…
The fact that the link says “Try Now” instead of “next image” or something like that is implying that you are using the AI generation when you click the button.
