The images are created by a bot on the Eleuther AI discord channel, which anyone can join using the link here: https://www.eleuther.ai/get-involved/<br /><br />The bot is in the room called “the faraday cage” and all you have to do in there is type .imagine followed by your prompt.

And James, is it way too complicated to think about doing just that -- to put in what you think ought to be the initial dataset? I agree with arenhaus, that much of my response is "wishful thinking." James, are you encouraging us to get into the software to munge around? It does seem intriguing - like a rabbit trail. We used to do this, starting about 20 years ago, putting in a well-known artist's work, example paintings, along with a photograph, and the result was a painting in the artist's style. What a time-sink, what a rabbit trail that was! and now, here we are!jrshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14077800089915170945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-30793118753637195282021-07-25T11:01:03.227-04:002021-07-25T11:01:03.227-04:00James (and Eugene),

James, I'm curious about how much of your initial response is "wishful thinking". And I want to know what you, yourself, might have put into the initial dataset. I want to see your results - your own "self-portrait". So, are you encouraging us, by this posting, to get into the software and play around for ourselves?jrshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14077800089915170945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-78784159001572002982021-07-25T10:24:45.872-04:002021-07-25T10:24:45.872-04:00Eugene, I wonder if the dataset they're drawin...Eugene, I wonder if the dataset they're drawing from includes the academic painters and illustrators that I've featured on my blog.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-17424176757401979342021-07-25T10:15:59.335-04:002021-07-25T10:15:59.335-04:00No, not really, James.
