Used it on some Fortnite screenshots, I'd play that depressing version! https://files.catbox.moe/i8tfkl.jpg https://files.catbox.moe/mw8vbc.jpg Then I thought what would it make from an already dark and grim scene, like HL2 Ravenholm https://files.catbox.moe/d7z77h.jpg but nothing really? Just made the whole thing a different color scheme + changed some architecture

Fallout!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

There's a pretty clear expected transformation here though? It takes an image and then reduces the "shiny-ness" of it by giving it the same transformation: change the sky to overcast, add material degradation like rust, reduce the landscaping by adding weeds/puddles, and remove the happy looking people.

Also adding random electrical infrastructure and random signs, also removing a statue in the distance in one of the images

Sure, that stuff too. The point still being that it's a pretty predictable set of changes being made to whatever photo you give it.

Top of HN and people are loving it, but there's got to be a better way of getting some $$ rewards for fun viral ideas like this than "Buy me a coffee". I'm betting he's got tens of thousands of sessions currently and nobody is tipping. https://ko-fi.com/magnushambleton Is there a better way? Asking for myself, also.

Ideally the model would be run locally in the browser, so the author isn't paying whatever they're paying. But the web standards to do complicated stuff locally aren't there yet and probably will never be.

That's not a practical answer but it's my two cents.

This will be an unpopular answer but one way that could have worked is just good ol' advertising, because it directly converts "virality" into income.

Any solution that requires the user to bust out a credit card and put down his billing address has way too much friction for the median user to get through.

It should be tasteful ads for the AI companies that are making money... Oh wait, I instantly see the problem with that idea.
