Random AI-generated images #2

Once again I exploited a hapless neural network so it would render the nonsense that crosses my mind.

The neural network has learned that some artists sign their paintings.
I told the neural network to depict a demoness with a gun, and in a Victorian style. Good enough.
Gandalf discovers firearms. Why do you have three hands, Gandalf?
The pilot is supposed to be a penguin.
The two previous images depict Paleolithic people playing music.
The two previous images depict a presumably sentient Megatherium wearing a plague mask (and associated gear).
These two previous images depict a sasquatch roaming the post-Apocalyptic wasteland. I don’t know why that sasquatch is gigantic and has three legs. I hope that’s a leg.
I told the neural network to depict an orangutan doing ayahuasca in a cave. That’s not what it looks like.
A colossal llama ruining a town.
Alpacas fighting alongside colonial marines.
Cyberpunk alpacas.
Alpaca mugshots.
Demonic giraffe.
These two previous images were the neural network’s depiction of “an atomic explosion made of spiders”. Well played.
This neural network is way too good at rendering radioactive spiders. I could have kept asking for variants indefinitely.
These previous two images were intended to depict heavily armored dwarves fighting demons. In other news, “Dwarf Fortress” is supposed to come out in Q3 of this year.
This one was supposed to depict the burning of the Great Library.
These four previous images were supposed to depict the whole Atlantis deal as captured by Plato on his “Timaeus”.
A capybara discovers the secrets of the universe.
I pleaded for the neural network to render an image of Punpun and Aiko having a good time. If you know, you know.
A Japanese maid tragically losing her battle against spiders.
Live long enough to become the jello.

I had some fun exploiting the current Da Vinci of neural networks, mostly to produce silly combinations of elements. Because that particular neural network is a damn genius, I ended up with some masterpieces.

I obviously prompted the neural network to produce an image of a ghost playing the guitar; although not much of a guitar ended up in the image, I like the composition.
I wondered how a Megatherium would look if it were the star player of a soccer team.
These two previous images were the neural network’s answer to prompts related to the question, “what if horses were also firearms?”
I don’t know what is it with me and horses.
This was the cover I wanted for one of the two books I self-published in Spanish, and I paid a human to do a worse job.
This is supposed to represent a bunch of Roman soldiers fighting against a Lovecraftian monster in an underground chamber, part of my free verse poem ‘The Menace From Our Underworld’, that I’ve yet to revise for publication.
This was an accident; the neural network can’t quite tell apart an urchin from an urchin.
I prompted the neural network to put an elf in command of a plant-based UFO. I guess that’s technically a success.
These previous two images were the neural network’s answer to the question, “why the hell am I in a forest?”
These two previous images somehow ended up being produced as I was feeding the neural network moments of the 64th chapter of ‘We’re Fucked’.
These previous two images were the neural network’s answer to the prompt, “a demoness comedian on stage telling a sad joke”.
If these previous five images remind you of Beksiński’s stuff, that’s not a coincidence. I prompted the neural network to use that guy’s style, and it turns out that it has been trained on his paintings.
This image was a variation of the previous one, and I didn’t dare ask for more variations.

AI-generated images of Leire from ‘We’re Fucked’

I’m still two-fifths of the way through the last draft of the 64th chapter, but I have been sending prompts to the neural network that generates images on some supercomputer; it merely requires me to input a sentence. So here are some depictions of Leire, the protagonist of my ongoing novel.

This one is so ‘Uzumaki’ that the neural network must have been trained on Junji Ito’s works; I merely included ‘falls in spiral through a vortex’ as part of the prompt

As a bonus, here’s a portrait of Spike’s decapitated head:

We’re Fucked, Pt. 64: AI-generated images

On By Jon UreñaIn Arte, Inteligencia artificial1 Comment

I have finished the first draft of the next chapter of my ongoing novel, but as I was working on it I kept generating images with the neural network that runs on a supercomputer, feeding it prompts about the images I had in my head. The results have been interesting, and some horrifying.

Although chapter 64 isn’t out in the wild yet, maybe this sequence of images can work as an intriguing teaser. Probably in the future I will only post an entry with all the related images after I’ve uploaded the corresponding chapter, though.

EDIT: here’s the link to chapter sixty-four.

Although the bunnyman doesn’t show up in the next chapter, I made the unforgivable mistake of asking the neural network to generate images of him. No wonder Leire behaves likes she does.

I don’t want to end this entry on such a note, so here’s a generated picture of Jacqueline:

I came across a paid service that allows you to take advantage of trained neural networks that run on supercomputers and are specialized on generating images. So far I’ve been busy for a couple of hours generating masterpieces like the following:

A new banner for my site
Harelactal, the sasquatch goddess from a poem I wrote

A very unflattering portrait of Leire, the protagonist of my ongoing novel ‘We’re Fucked’

Needless to say, as long as I have the time and I can pay for such services, I’m going to generate images for my chapters and poems from now on.
