I don't want to go all SJW on you guys, amazing work, but can you try to make sure there's an inclusive array of starting faces please? Talking about things like skin tones, thanks!

#32Earlier quoted context omitted.
I purchased a waifu from your vending machine (loved the blog post!) at Gen Con in 2019, but can't see the saved model in my account. Is there a way for me to get a v2 generation?
Welcome back! We're currently working on the data migration from V1! As long as you are using the same email as you did in 2019, you'll be able to see the image again! As for a V2 generation, sorry, because the models are different, you'll have to discover a similar image again, if you want a V2 version!
Can't you use projection with the original image as input? Not for an exact copy, of course, but for a similar V2 rendition?

#34Hey HN, one of the team members here! I hope you all enjoy playing with the new and improved generator! We've been hard at work improving the model quality since the last time the site was posted[1] As both a professional fantasy illustrator & software engineer, I find the concept of AI creativity so fascinating. On one hand, I know that mathematically AI only can hallucinate images that fit within the distribution o…
Firstly, amazing work. My question is, how do you figure out how to parameterize "Same character, different pose" / "Same character, different eyes" / "Same character, different gender" / etc? My (super limited) understanding of GANs is that they slowly discover these features over time simply from observation in the data set, and not from any labels. So how could you make e.x. a slider for head position, style, pose…
Not affiliated with this project, but there is a gazillion different variations of GANs. Most just change the adversarial loss to improve the learning rate / quality, but others focus on architectural changes, such as StarGAN, Pix2pix (conditional GAN), CycleGAN, MUNIT, etc. It's really a fascinating field.

Indeed, we spent 2 years working on this!!!
It's an extremely hard research problem, because darker skin tones account for only about 0.3% of all anime art produced in the world.
We have employed an absolutely exhaustive array of art and data science tricks to give the model the ability to draw darker skin tones, though they are underrepresented. The results that you see today are the culmination of many months of careful tuning!
It's not definitely perfect, but from a data science perspective, this situation can't be rectified until the art world makes a shift.
Personally, I hope that more art representing dark skin tones will be created in the world!

Honestly asking, isn't this stuff usually Japanese characters? I dunno if theres even "data" they could use for other skin tones

Thanks, happy to hear that you guys are on top of it.

What are the terms of use for the images generated through your website? I'm guessing any commercial use is forbidden? It would be nice if you could formally spell it out on the website.

#39The explainer video about gans is top-notch! Excited for Arrowmancer!
The game is an interesting mix of mobile fun with the concept for El-Fish. https://www.wired.com/1993/02/maxis/

#40I can’t wait for this technology to come to video. Imagine a future where people can compile written scripts into Hollywood quality movies.
It's already begun https://twitter.com/somnai_dreams/status/1477411531037937664...
