MORE AI ART

But NOT Artbreeder this time! Thanks to Metafilter, I ran across this article on AI-generated art that had links to several Google Colab notebooks I could run to generate art.

What is a Google Colab? Uh, hell if I know, even though I was using one to do all the AI-generated text a couple of years back. But you can set it up to run programs and use computer power elsewhere for it, and people have kindly set them up with software that runs the AI-generated art. I shall not explain how they work otherwise because it would mostly be "Click this, this, and this, then type here, then click there."

You type in prompts, and it does its best to produce something using hat it thinks the prompts say. It is not a human, so quite often it has nothing to do with reality. There are a few tricks you can use to pull better stuff out of it, and since it was trained on internet data two of those tricks are to add "artstation" (or "trending on artstation") and "unreal engine" to your prompt.

( And it has produced some AWESOME results! )
