AI Weekly<\/em> briefly surveys and links the new leading-edge technical papers on generative AI each week. Its next art\/cover challenge is ‘Weird’<\/a>. Weirder images than generative AI usually produces, I guess. Unlike most arty challenges, there’s $50 in it for you.<\/p>\n

Talking of ‘weird’ AI, Google has a new alphabet-generator called GenType<\/a>. Give it a prompt, and out pops an A-Z alphabet of snazzy type. I suggested a font based on the idea of “Cosmic tentacle-beings from the mind of H.P. Lovecraft”, but that was refused as too weird. Thus I never got to see GenType produce any type. But you may want to give it a go.<\/p>\n

Also, in AI Weekly<\/em> one learns that it’s now just-about “possible to train diffusion models using mixed-resolution image datasets”. Which brings hope for a ‘face of H.P. Lovecraft’ plug-in for Stable Diffusion. Since many of the training images would necessarily be low-res. Stable Diffusion already knows what Lovecraft looks like, more or less, though often adds in Nick Cage (starred in the Colour<\/em> movie, and thus gets tagged as ‘Lovecraft’), Buster Keaton (1920s film star, somewhat similar face), etc. We still need a LORA plug-in that guides the AI back to Lovecraft’s face and head shapes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
