#42Hey 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…
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.
I don't think there's any powerful enough way to stop people from generating one and then tracing over it to create their own linework, and customize things like the colouring and shading. The more broadly AI is able to create, the more niche and obfuscated directions human co-creators could take its products in.

Do you plan to provide an API to generate waifu?
I think I could use this for a project.

#45I can’t wait for this technology to come to video. Imagine a future where people can compile written scripts into Hollywood quality movies.

#46This is extremely impressive. It’s the first GAN I have seen which lets you tweak the result in a meaningful way rather than being just random.
I think the speed that GANs have come in to the world has really shaken people up and it’s hard to process what this all means and what it will result in. Especially the ones which generate based on real people.
But the feeling this gives me, is what happens for the future of art. Sure, this example is no where even close to replacing real artists, but it’s already generating images better than I can draw after a year of practice. It does give me a feeling of “what is the point”. Which might be an irrational feeling, but I’m sure others feel the same.

#47I 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!
Honestly asking, isn't this stuff usually Japanese characters? I dunno if theres even "data" they could use for other skin tones
On the other hand, you get a full spectrum of eye and hair colour.

I think it will have its limits, but the possibilities for editing together, supplementing and modifying products from smaller AI modules should stretch out what you can do on a small budget.

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 ca…
I can’t understand why the GP comment is flagged. If you can look past all the “culture war” stuff, this is pointing out some of the limits of algorithmic creativity.
It does not do well generating instances with features that are not well represented in the training dataset.
Compare this to human creativity. I suspect that fulfilling GPs request would be almost trivial for a human professional artist.
To be clear this is an amazing achievement, a creative use of the technology, and a positive contribution to the world. Pointing out limitations (i.e. areas with potential for future innovation) does not diminish it.

We have been here before, and we certainly will again.
