> Pro-tip: we'll automatiically pre-pend 'A TOK emoji of a' to your prompt. Try something simple like 'cat' or 'high five'. What is a "TOK emoji"?

A sure sign that it was trained to replicate a particular style, which the trainer decided to name TOK.

It’s somewhat helpful to pick names that are a single token after byte pair encoding, which TOK happens to be.

Does it make sense to prompt it based on the names of existing Apple emojis? I can’t tell if it’s helping or not. Some tests are exceptionally good, some are inexplicably awful. Very cool either way! I had a lot of fun experimenting.

The generator isn't very accurate. I prompted "a sad bald construction worker" and I got a smiling construction worker wearing a hard hat. Only 1 out of 3 adjectives was implemented.

Construction workers probably need to wear a hard hat even when they are bald. ;)

Seeing what other users are prompting it with is half the fun of the output.

Nice to see people merely pushing boundaries rather than ruining it for everyone for now.

Hi! Creator here! I just started hacking on this last night and wasn't expecting to see this on HN already :) It works by taking your prompt and generating an emoji using https://replicate.com/fofr/sdxl-emoji . Next, I remove the background using https://replicate.com/cjwbw/rembg . Then, click to download and add to slack! It's all open-source, code is here: https://github.com/cbh123/emoji Let me know if you have any…

That's such a coincidence. I was browsing Replicate last night for new models and played with the very same one and was impressed at the results (well, mostly). Kudos to you for turning it into something more accessible and the background removal idea. For everyone else, Replicate is well worth playing around with if you want to tinker with some models without much commitment.
