Re: The art of asking nicely
#2I played around with these notebooks a while back, and wondered what you get if you jointly optimize for several different prompts. Has anyone tried this? (Or is this what the article is about?)
Re: The art of asking nicely
#3VQGAN+CLIP seem to have this dream-like quality where they generate images that are evocative of your prompts but don't actually picture them.
I find it fascinating because in some cases it's not as obvious as "lump of white fluffy matter" = "sheep" but it still manages to evoke the prompt into our brains.
I'll sometimes get an unrecognizable blob but quickly asking my SO "what is this?" she will get it... unless she consciously looks at it!
Fascinating.

#4Prompt design / learning how to talk to and communicate effectively with AIs is going to be the next decade’s programming superpower.
As an aside, are there any good approaches for producing this kind of generative art on a CPU only system that lacks a GPU?

It is alreay thing, I mean it is not once or twice when people have watced in awe when I google some obscure thing.

It does make you wonder about hypothetical artificial neural network-like "subconscious" layers and how "more conscious" prefrontal cortex layers potentially adjust predictions and perceptions based on their inputs. (Probably a convenient "just-so" "clockwork universe"-esque narrative unsupported by neuroscience research, though.)

#8I didn't realize how clever the title was until I finished reading the article. Love it

This is the precursor of how to talk to and configure a holodeck program.

#10My city is in covid lockdown right now so I have been passing some of the time playing with these notebooks.
It is oddly addictive.
