The best thing about this imo is that it proved to me that these image generation algorithms aren't just regurgitating minor variations on an existing image somewhere in their database of billions of images. Although I understand the general idea of how these work, I still had my doubts. The astronaut one in particular made this stand out; many of these artists definitely did not draw astronauts, yet the resultant images do fairly well at emulating the distinct styles of the artists. Thank you for debunking one of my concerns!
- tiluha 4y agoI actually found 'the discovery of gravity' far more interesting. Depending on the style the interpretation was completely different.
- davidbarker 4y agoI'm glad you noticed this too. With "a horse", you always get a horse, but with something more abstract like "the discovery of gravity" or "a representation of anxiety", it's far more variable between a scene — perhaps people performing an experiment, or someone falling out of a window(!) — or it's simply a large block of text without any people in the image.
- davidbarker 4y agoYes! This is one of the most interesting aspects that I found. If it knows the particular style, it's typically very good at knowing how to use it. I'm glad it could help clear things up for you.
