It would be so much better to just have all of these 1500 pictures next to each other in a list with the artist's name under it.

I think the idea is for the comparison to remain spatially consistent because that's what it's trying to highlight!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The positioning seems very consistent, almost to the point where I wonder if that was part of the selection process to demonstrate the differences in style. There are only four per style, where the position of a subject could be a selection factor. Hard to tell if the position similarities are driven by the Stable Diffusion model or by the selection of representative images.

Maybe it's based on img2img? Some are different enough that it's not obvious that's the way it has been done though.

Hey, I'm the developer of this project, no this is not based on img2img all the images just have the same seed

show an example?

I used to draw the flyers when my band played shows. People still went to the shows. If had iterated a few times with one of these models to draw the thing that I wanted to draw rather than deluding myself, and spent 5 minutes polishing it in photoshop, the product would have been orders of magnitude better imo.

So when you say flyers, you're talking about the kind of flyer zero people are employed to make. We're talking about paid artists here.

incredible job! i was just showing my own experiments with sd to a friend and this just take the cake. thank you so much for mixing in that artist list!!

Indeed, what I ended up doing was Inspect Element > Search the name I want > Add the "selected" attribute to the option.

What's kind of crazy is how the images tend to have similarities in small features that become very apparent when flipping back and forth between images, but which are not obvious per se. For example, I flipped back and forth between Beatrix Potter and Paulus Potter. A rounded white bonnet in one picture becomes a couple of blossoms in the other. The roof of a house becomes some shadowy wall with plants in the other.…

Bosch is marvelous. Mucha and Monet are good. Michelangelo tries to be more like his sculptures. Not sure about Walt Disney and Roy Lichtenstein, and Rembrandt version is especially ugly. Maybe it will worth to get rid of "van Rijn" in that sample.

Overall: the impression is better with author's popularity. I think if we train the model only with well-tagged filtered dataset - results may be much better, but we effectively will get a 5-year old Prizm app.

Hate to say it but when i see stuff like this it only reminds me of what we could have achieved if this ingenuity had been applied in another domain. Can't help feeling that this accidentally harms creative types and risks swamping us with visual junk. The technical achievment is astounding but no-one would seriously claim that crafting an image via a short prompt is creative except in the most cursory way. I'm proba…

I'm of the opposite opinion. AI assisted art is simply the natural next chapter for "art" as a whole. It will finally kickstart the public discourse about what being an artist means in the perspective of artistic vision vs execution. Most artists spend their lives not refining their brush stroke, but rather their eyes. The way I see it, the impact of curation and artistic direction will matter more and more in the fu…

As with programming, an AI model cannot replace the key parts but can help automate the monotony.

For me it's exciting to use as placeholder art and then have a 'real' artist review it.

Truly impressive, though it gives me some great fear for all the people whose career is art. This will likely take the pareto to a new height instead of 20/80 maybe even 1/99

Just read the "Profession" by Isaak Azimov :)
