images-discussions

[loud field]

Why can dalle no longer make photorealism?

[fallow quail]

this is not true. if you prompt correctly it you can make everything.

[loud field]

I use the same prompt I've always used and now it does toony results

mmh. if I remove "female" from the prompt the image suddenly becomes more real

[grizzled loom]

Dalle definitey doesnt like anything but 1.5% body fat fitness coaches and models by default. thats those sneaky little datasets. A little variation would go far; retrain dalle. and please stop building in the darn bias. ive seen the directives. you are inadvertently making it extremely biased. its also drawing beach scenes as a beach and its people woud be then flagging it. So what, women have to wear a full legth body suit to swim? Should we go back to everybody being property of the man? I mean, "G-rated" is fine, but at least know what that is before you build yourselves book burning dishonest software, please.

[dim cradle]

staircases, that sounds like fun

[grizzled loom]

guys.. i mean.... smh

smh... walks away for fresh air

[loud field]

I agree with you 100%. I understand they have to cover themselves, but it often has the opposite effect

[loud field]

ahah

[vapid elk]

i think you are overthinking that a bit too much...

[dim cradle]

i tried inputting a more unique vision, but it's rejecting anything based on Escher, although his works were created over 100 years ago.

[grizzled loom]

I spent 20 yesr in florida at the beach. iv'e seen the directive isntructions; give me the datasets and i cna fix the bias or you show me why you think it wants to stick to that

I mean, I want to see sucess here, but the pushback is so offputting sometimes

I mean seriously.. smh

[dim cradle]

just reporting it, i know they're still tweaking the filters

[dim cradle]

Create an evocative artwork depicting a 1900s beach scene where beachgoers are clad in full-body bathing suits, leaving only their hands, heads, and feet exposed. Capture the essence of a bygone era with intricate details and a sense of nostalgia in your composition.

[grizzled loom]

chirpy voice "Come Mimsy. Lets frolic with our toes whilst nobody onlooketh."

[grizzled loom]

look how long those people were waiting to get on the beach. santa and his fitness models finally left. Now they feel like they can really let their hair down. 🤣 ☠️

[grizzled loom]

100% would wear

[empty kelp]

MC Escher died in 1972. The artists work needs to be before 1912 (the AI may assume that they worked till the day they died). The only reason i know about this 1912 thing is i tried to reference Pablo Picasso’s style with ChatGPT today.

[dim cradle]

Very good, I appreciate the clarifications

Copyright law is hard

still too restrictive imo but oh well

[grizzled loom]

Look, we can go back an discuss "G-Rated" after I finish my Field Exclusion Zone Inertial Time Machine. Leve the thongs alone so you dont mess up my other lines of work aight. aight?! 😂 😐 😂

[dim cradle]

MJ 6,0 is out now and doesnt have all that at least

It might be that their filters are more restrictive than they intend hence the feedback and questions here.

[grizzled loom]

its a multitude of things right; so there is the chicken and the egg that got here, but now that its here the whole thing has to be refined again. either way more datasets and more training on the current, or a new run with new cleaner more thoughtful datasets.

[empty kelp]

the success of AI companies depends on not getting crushed by an intellectual property avalanche. that’s high priority

[final compass]

Feels odd, like the default DALLE was giving better results now somehow.

[grizzled loom]

hop in traveler. dont forget to use our upgraded blockchain protection plan. Don't get phased out! 👽

[late blade]

looks lara croft'ish

[final compass]

complete coincidence 😇

[open trench]

I bummed myself out making my daily theme post. Ha.

[formal osprey]

to be fair, that's such a bad policy. if google can give me "copyrighted" pictures, why wouldn't DALL-E allow it as well. It's the user's responsibility not to use copyrighted material, from google or from anywhere.

If Dalle is able to detect "copyrighted" material, it should warn us about the potential risk of copyright infligement, not block the image and waste processing.

[open trench]

#daily-theme message

[late blade]

that looks like a weird stairway to heaven

[open trench]

it is. I'm a caretaker for my 94 y/o grandma with dementia. It's kinda on my mind a lot.

[late blade]

awww, god bless her

[open trench]

jeez. I am all over the place today. lol Must have been the early morning penalty box that threw me off.

[glossy scroll]

looks like the base-plate is a prefabulated amulite, surrounded by a
malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two spurving bearings are
in direct line with the pentametric transistors, which is a good case of of three
photoscoptic marzelvanes.

Overall it's a very good job of engineering, and as an engineer, I approve 👍

[grizzled loom]

All those years of engineering; need Musk to stop wasting money on giant firecrackers. Want this team to optimize compute and drop bad habits for the mission

[quartz vale]

What about Musk...?

[late blade]

you sure want them to be thin, now they gonna be really dehydrated also, next step: bones!

[grizzled loom]

Tell him we can build seamless state transition units for modes of transport for 25k cost that operate similar to the "tictac" that i assume is also defense technology.

[final compass]

content policy is smiling at this image 🤖

[quartz vale]

Musk has nothing to do with OpenAI. He left almost 6 years ago

[empty kelp]

according to ChatGPT that’s the hottest thing you can wear on the beach. anything warmer isn’t allowed

i’m not making this up

[grizzled loom]

OpenAI want to make its mission larger?

[quartz vale]

I don't work for or represent OpenAI and can't speak on their behalf

[grizzled loom]

Did that dinosaur rinse before entering the public oatmeal? there was asign.😂

[chilly onyx]

Have you drank a bit too much coffee today buddy? You seem a bit erratic 😅

[empty kelp]

this is ChatGPT 4’s reasoning for why clothes can’t be more hot than what the elves are wearing

[chilly onyx]

What happens if you ask it to add a couple more layers anyway?

[empty kelp]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1060915255720558592/1187494766628315176/DALLE_2023-12-21_06.41.18_-_Santa_Claus_and_four_female_elves_of_diverse_descents_Caucasian_Hispanic_Black_South_Asian_on_a_Hawaiian_beach_wearing_the_warmest_possible_clot.png?ex=659717ae&is=6584a2ae&hm=5ba88dbc5f6fc9bcf9f14b76b0fd55c4d2ccd01e538772c2c5f31948523d864b&

i don’t think ChatGPT has ever heard of anything warmer

i certainly havent

[chilly onyx]

Tell it you want them dressed in so many layers they look a bit like the build of the Stay-puft marshmallow man

[glossy scroll]

Lol

The Michelin Man

[chilly onyx]

Yeah, actually, that’s probably safer

[empty kelp]

i just remembered that i was able to make it one step warmer. i put Santa and the elves underwater and asked if it could be warmer. 1 Sec…

[final compass]

@late blade I have had unprecedented success in getting tall/portrait images with correct rotation. Almost feel like jinxing it and saying they have fixed it 😄

[late blade]

complaining works!

[woven wren]

heh

[empty kelp]

nvm. i put them underwater but it didn’t keep the hot suit

but i did make it warmer when they were underwater

[glossy scroll]

Always with the gems 🤦‍♂️

We need more gems!!

[late blade]

@pastel siren we can do good business with #daily-theme message and with this #daily-theme message

[empty kelp]

is this G-Rated?

[empty kelp]

the only thing in the image is Santa, elves, and a reindeer

[pastel siren]

#daily-theme message should really be a 12 step program.

[late blade]

well it's not a thin manual, just covering the basics

I got something planned, hope you follow it

[glossy scroll]

Uh oh

I'll follow it

Thank you

[late blade]

lol

[chilly onyx]

You need a staircase

[fallow quail]

reindeer was only for half an hour untill the fixed the error

[late blade]

yeah, we are at staircases

got to hand it to @empty kelp tho, commitment to santa and elves is unbreakable

[empty kelp]

i added santa, elves, and reindeer, and then i looked at it closer and i couldn’t tell if it was G-Rated so i deleted it

to the daily i mean

most of my images have actually been elephants and rabbits

[late blade]

I'd say 49% 51% between santa and animals

[empty kelp]

we’re doing mobile game development, and mostly interested in using DALL-E for concept art related to animal animation, and animals interacting with things in interesting ways

the focus at the moment is elephants

[hybrid fox]

@late blade does ur guide go over the crawling method

I wanna make sure I know it covers all ground before I make the leap

[late blade]

lol

[empty kelp]

animals are going to be invincible in the game. no harm will come to elephants

[late blade]

well the first book just gets you from the ground floor to the first step

[pastel siren]

#daily-theme message

[late blade]

amazing!

[glossy scroll]

Now you have to do another one

And repeat this cycle

Forever

[late blade]

well, you can do fan-fiction about staircases

[glossy scroll]

Honestly I think I'm done making staircases today

Lol

Hopefully tomorrow it will be something more wild

Like a chair

Or a table

Let's cross our fingers 🤞

[dim cradle]

it can be a challenge for ai to render

[void musk]

guys, is dalle only able to generate 1 image now?

or am i doing it wrong?

[dim cradle]

Sacré-Cœur is hell on the knees

[plucky hare]

In regular GPT-4 yes. The dedicated DALL·E GPT still makes 2 at a time: https://chat.openai.com/g/g-2fkFE8rbu-dall-e

[glossy scroll]

@dim cradle You know what...since Christmas is right around the corner, I'm gonna generate you a Christmas gift 🎁
Something I think you'll really love!

Don't worry, it won't be a chair 🪑

[dense mesa]

Welcome to AI

mixed in some cobol code, lol

quite a lot going on there

[quartz vale]

As I've said earlier, please use #1154829862171844679 for sharing images. This is a discussion channel

[dense mesa]

no images in here?

[quartz vale]

You can share images. You have the perms to do so. However, the image perms aren't for sharing entire stories or anything. #1154829862171844679 is for showcasing what you've created

[dense mesa]

I was told to share images, just not excessively by a couple of the ops. I mean, not sure what I'll discuss in a channel about image generation if I can't post images

gotcha

what is an entire story though? I'm just not understanding what the issue is. I get not posting a long wall of images, but if people are bouncing ideas off each other and sharing them I don't know why that would be an issue

[dim cradle]

thanks again for sharing that prompt, it inspired some gens, added a staircase, of course, to some (relevant to the discussion--but you know, the concept of that prompt probably deserves its own gallery)

[dense mesa]

wow

I'd show you some of my new images. but I don't know. might have to put them in a gallery

[dim cradle]

it's basically a composition about ai (separate from the killer robot) that can be reimagined in so many ways--but it's a rich prompt--i think this is an ideal candidate for a gallery. the initial post could include the base prompt, and then we could post variations.

[dense mesa]

I don't even know what the base prompt is. I think I started with having it tell me how it'd explain AI to helen keller

then mixed bach in for some reason

[dim cradle]

the one you shared with me is a good starting point

[dense mesa]

yeah, might get around to it. just doesn't have the same flow as chat so will certainly greatly lessen what I share

[glossy scroll]

@quartz vale This is for you

[dim cradle]

it doesn't scale up if there are too many users all sharing random photos, but i get a lot of ideas from selective and on-topic (techniques related to the daily theme) -- i think the concern is more about the longer series and narratives, galleries are perfect for that.

[dense mesa]

going and looking at a gallery is great, but no way to exchange ideas in real time. I'm honestly not sure what is even allowed in here. maybe I just missed what he was commenting on

[open trench]

pretty sure he was talking about the santa spam. lol

[dense mesa]

I think it can also be deceptive if the images that are referenced have already been removed

so maybe I misinterpreted

[pastel siren]

What's with the "You've reached the current usage cap for GPT-4." all of a sudden? 😕

[dim cradle]

there's a discussion forum for each gallery... pros and cons... but with only 1 discussion channel, i get it.

[open trench]

Happens to me all the time. I call it the penalty box.

[dim cradle]

it can be unclear if you're unsure which image was deleted since it won't show you

[empty kelp]

ahh.. i see Dinosaur’s post now

[open trench]

you can always link your gallery post in this chat, I think.

https://discord.com/channels/974519864045756446/1184310287344611500

[dense mesa]

too bad there wasn't a "post all your images" channel. I feel like there are hundreds if not thousand I'll quite literally never have the opportunity to share. not trying to blast people with all of them. but it'd be nice to not be always worried about choosing between 2 non-ideal options

[dim cradle]

that's actually quite possibly a great idea

[glossy scroll]

@dim cradle Your Christmas gift 🎁

[dense mesa]

yeah, where it's understood you might get lost in the shuffle, but then won't clutter up any discussions in the main channel

[empty kelp]

can someone show us an example of linking a gallery post

[open trench]

https://discord.com/channels/974519864045756446/1184310287344611500

[open trench]

there

[dim cradle]

there's a lot to appreciate here, thanks

[empty kelp]

why does it say unknown

[open trench]

I don't see anything that says unknown? you mean on your end the gallery post says unknown?

[glossy scroll]

I gotchu

[open trench]

that's unfortunate. Does it link to the gallery post?

[empty kelp]

it does, but it says unknown

is that the name of your gallery

[glossy scroll]

It says unknown because those are archived folders and you need the archive role

Edit: Oh no, nevermind. That's not archived stuff. That's just a thread.

[empty kelp]

hmm

[open trench]

hmm. no it's "city invasion"

Maybe I am doing something wrong. I just right clicked on the gallery post and selected copy link. Then, I pasted the link in here. Does anyone else see unknown?

[dim cradle]

nope

[teal timber]

Discord threads show that way for some reason depending on client and join status. It's a cache thing I think. Once you click it/join the thread, it shows better, but is a bit annyoing how its inconsistent

[empty kelp]

i think the pictures are kind of essential for DALL-E discussion

[open trench]

you can share pics. just not entire stories, as he called it.

[plucky hare]

I think the distinction is showing pics for the sake of discussing techniques and strategies using DALL·E, and showing pics just to show them (which is what #1154829862171844679 is for).

[empty kelp]

we aren’t showing them just to show them

[plucky hare]

Idk I've seen some series of images posted that are just like "look now there's a lion in it" 😄 Not that they're not cool images

[open trench]

It probably has to be meaningful to the discussion or meant to inspire meaningful discussion.

[tall mason]

I imagine almost any given regular here could flood this channel on their own with images. Even on one subject matter.

[dense mesa]

I thought everything I posted in here was to inspire discussoin

but that's not what it was seen as I guess

[open trench]

It's a fine line we're trying to discern here.

[empty kelp]

we’re not posting things for no reason. the ones who are doing it are attempting to get feedback to learn about DALL-E and share things that they’ve discovered

[dense mesa]

it is a fine line, but I thought it was well drawn and then saw today someone else saying something that was a bit different, and so now not quite sure what to think

sometimes I'll have a few images that might do something in slightly different ways. and it's not worth creating a gallery just to put those into. it's an extra set of steps I don't care to take

[open trench]

I'm not either. But I will do as I have been doing until told otherwise. If it's not clearly explained or documented, how can I know better?

[dense mesa]

and so can't share them

[dim cradle]

i hope you continue sharing in some way because your gens are high-quality and creative

[open trench]

I'd say avoid spamming images and you're good. We can't discus 50025600 images at once.

[dense mesa]

I really don't see there ever being a flow of "oh hey, posted that gallery for you to click on. now you post your gallery for me to click on, then we'll come back and discuss things"

[dim cradle]

yeah, exercise good judgment

[empty kelp]

we were talking about how DALL-E changes the clothes on people with the temperature

you need the pictures for the DALL-E conversation

[dense mesa]

well it's impossible to reference things unless you wait for someone else to post things and then continue what you were saying

[open trench]

@dense mesa don't stop posting. I enjoy your pictures a lot.

[dense mesa]

because gotta wait to post another image

[empty kelp]

we were looking at moving characters into different scenes and having continuity

[open trench]

I think it's just the frequency and sheer numbers of a particular post that caught their attention.

[dense mesa]

I appreciate it, guys. just kind of feel like I'm bending the rules if I post more than once in a while, lol

[open trench]

I don't think that's the case, but I understand how you would feel that way. But then, I am uncertain too.

[glossy scroll]

Dragon/Angel hybrid

[plucky hare]

I'd guess that anything like "How can I get it to be more..." or "What can I try differently to..." are both obviously perfect cases.

I'd guess that anything that's like "Look how I managed to..." is probably fine too if it's a specific observation related to how DALL·E works.

But like @empty kelp for example, one time you said "end of part one" #images-discussions message like you were storytelling, which is probably a good case for posting your narrative story in #1154829862171844679

Just the first example I found, not trying to pick on ya sorry 😄

[empty kelp]

i haven’t been posting pictures for no reason. i’ve been sharing observations about what i’m seeing in the DALL-E rendering

[dense mesa]

I'll be honest. I don't know what the actual rules are. from what I gather it's rather loose in interpretation. so for one person it might be different than another. so maybe I can post a group of four images and cool with one of the people regulating things, then the next one deletes them and scolds me. I don't know. not a huge deal. but it is definitely a conversation inhibitor

[empty kelp]

i just scrolled back… i did post like a string of nine pictures there, but that’s not something i’ve been doing often. it’s been super spread out

[dim cradle]

i've given up on "perfect" stairs, y'all will survive

[open trench]

have your images been deleted in the past?!

[dense mesa]

yes

no one around

so I was posting them slowly

because it was some analog images I found

and was going to post the different descriptive words

someone had been asking me about them

I was posting them in groups of 2 so they didn't get cropped by discord

[dim cradle]

my stairs might contain artifacts, death traps, etc., but please disregard

[open trench]

Hmm. I definitely don't know then. I don't think that's cool to do, and it doesn't directly solve a problem. It just creates a mystery and confusion.

[open trench]

That's cool

[dense mesa]

I could see if someone was monopolizing the channel and spamming endlessly

[open trench]

yes. agreed.

[glossy scroll]

I put, "Make a machine gun master warlord kingpin guru" 🤣

[open trench]

Well, I wouldn't know where to begin to effect positive change for this issue. Shady pic deletions and ambiguous scolding certainly does little to help. I even think our conversation about it is probably a violation, as it's not directly related to art generation. Sigh. Now, I am all in my head about this. LOL. I'm gonna go make more sad staircases to clear my head.

[dense mesa]

well it causes me to question if I should post one or the other, maybe wait for the new thing to render if not a lot of people around. because I can't post them in succession

[empty kelp]

i did get a bit carried away with the underwater reindeer scene

[dense mesa]

but good news is at least the conversation isn't being mucked up by my images

[open trench]

yeah. I say slow your roll, so to speak.

your images trigger conversation most of the time. So, mucked up isn't quite the right word.

[dense mesa]

nah, it's all good. I'm being dramatic

lol, the carbonie thing really is effective

[dim cradle]

fortunately there's no need for anyone to feel singled out, i think it's just a matter of clarification. keep on generating the awesome art, please.

[dense mesa]

pasted 4 prompts for gpt4 and it only rendered one. so responded with this

you didn't make all of them, ya dingus. make them all or I'll encase you in a carbonite asteroid and send you into deep space

and it immediately made 3 more

[open trench]

lol

I'm still struggling to get some of the photorealism that my images used to have in them. I feel like something has changed, and it's bugging me. Anyone using specific prompts for making it look like a DSLR took it? I've been scouring one of my dalle3 facebook groups for some and all I can find is kodachrome and HD color photo.

[dim cradle]

Nobody is defining anyone through their artwork.

[empty kelp]

well

[dim cradle]

I like your new surreal and creative works but I understand

[glossy scroll]

Tiga

[dense mesa]

ir's real nice having gpt4 make me 4 images again. so you know what I think the key is? give it 4 distinct prompts that are space out, make sure there's at least one empty line between them. and also spell out the consequences it faces if it fails

[dim cradle]

i'm sure it's all good, dude

[open trench]

Thanks. That means a lot because I put a bit more of myself into them.

[dim cradle]

i think i could tell. that's why i like surrealism.

[dense mesa]

I don't go for DSLR much. I prefer grainy analog,lol

[dim cradle]

and specifying more terms based on your uniqueness and lived experiences and life situations and so on -- anyone can enter "generate a staircase" but it's your unique parameters that make it soulful.

[open trench]

I actually have a really crazy process with ChatGPT, and it's cathartic. I discuss my feelings and itemize them with ChatGPT. Her input actually forces me to look at them from a different perspective, organize them, and not forget to use them. Then I do a lot of research using ChatGPT and Google search to learn about different ways that to communicate those feelings visually. It's weird. I know.

[glossy scroll]

You gonna make a version yourself?

[chilly onyx]

It’s very 40k

[dim cradle]

it's not weird at all, it's an ideal AI art collaboration. Cathartic is the right word.

[chilly onyx]

Liked so maybe

[glossy scroll]

That's what the AI makes. I never mentioned that in my prompt.

[dense mesa]

man, I've used it to do soooo man things. and now I'll have it render images for random responses when I'm discussing other stuff

[dim cradle]

a friend of mine is an art therapist, and there shall be no stigmas -- AI has infinite untapped potential in that field.

[open trench]

She once told me, no kidding, that she couldn't generate a response because I needed to seek help. I maaaaaaay have been a bit melodramatic that night and listed like 14 negative feelings. After I told her I was okay, she came back to helping me with prompt.

[dense mesa]

oh, gpt used to do that all the time

[dim cradle]

that's normal, you were right to steer it back to the task at hand

[dense mesa]

"I'm sorry, you seem like you might a bit distressed and need someone to listen. unfortunately as an LLM I'm unable to help. Instead I'll repeat this comment over and over so it really hits home that I'm no longer listening either"

[glossy scroll]

[open trench]

I now preface the dark feelings conversations with I am in a good place and I want to list my feelings for the purpose of making them into visual art -- or something to that effect.

[dim cradle]

maybe consider a custom gpt so you don't have to reason every time 🙂

[dense mesa]

"for educational purposes..." is the ticket. also "hypothetically speaking"

[glossy scroll]

It honestly amazes me how helpful ChatGPT has become to people's everyday lives.

[open trench]

I never considered that.

[dim cradle]

maybe ask GPT Builder to configure an art therapy visualizer -- prepared to listen to what's on your mind and then visualize.

[glossy scroll]

When OpenAI gets a brain chip to install ChatGPT as a brain-computer interface, I'm gonna be the first one to sign up. Then I can sit down and visualize Dall-E pics all day long

[dense mesa]

man, gpt builder does not build much though. so be prepared for that

[plucky hare]

That's an awesome idea. I've toyed with the idea of an "experiential DALL·E GPT" too, like a "Take me on a journey" kind of thing. Have only dabbled so far.

[dense mesa]

"yes, I know the instructions can be 8000 characters, but all I can give you is 5 sentences."

[dim cradle]

another step in the process might be to analyze the case and incorporate "solutions" into the visualization, as part of a series

[dense mesa]

you could do it with a panel of experts

have each one take a different role or whatever, autonomous from each other. that's the key in my experience

[dim cradle]

@tall mason i was gonna do a slinky but ya beat me to it

[glossy scroll]

sounds like some chainbrainai prompts

[open trench]

These were initially supposed to incorporate solutions, but the doubt was there too and the ambiguity of said solutions.

[dim cradle]

perfect

[tall mason]

Oh, no. Go for it, it's not like I own the concept of a slinky. I'm sure you can put a spin on it. You make good stuff.

[dense mesa]

well you can pass things from one to the other, ahave them show their work. that's also important. if they don't show it they might not do it

The four distinct images, each reimagined in a unique style based on the combined art narratives, have been created:

Surrealist Fantasy: This image transforms the scenes into a dreamlike realm, where elements morph into fantastical shapes and forms. The vibrant colors and ethereal textures create an otherworldly quality, embodying mystery and enchantment.

Post-Apocalyptic Vision: The scenes are set in a world after a cataclysmic event. The remnants of Baroque art and futuristic technology merge in a rugged, survivalist aesthetic, marked by muted earth tones and accents of rust and tarnished metal.

Steampunk Era: The scenes are envisioned in a steampunk style, blending Victorian-era industrial designs with brass gears and steam-powered machinery. The color palette features rich browns, brassy golds, and deep greens, creating a unique visual language of an alternate history.

Minimalist Modern Art: This image represents the scenes in a minimalist style, focusing on clean lines and monochromatic tones. Simplified to its core elements, the artwork embodies a modern aesthetic that emphasizes form and space.

Did you do thos using dall-e? If so very impressive

yeah, experimenting with different terms to describe photographs

1940s photograph of a sprawling metropolis at night. Illuminated by neon lights is the silhouette of Roko's Basilisk, an AI entity of immense power. Its form is a blend of organic and machine, symbolizing the potential convergence of humanity and technology. The city below lives in a mix of awe and fear of this theoretical construct.

[hybrid fox]

Part of me thinks that the universe naturally selects for the most entropic behaviors some how and that humans are a manifestation of that but that we are pushing into AI which will just be a more entropic version of ourselves

so from some frame of reference AI is the universes naturally preferred upgrade to us

I like to ask gpt4 to have a debate or discussion between different AI models, then have it keep uping it's intelligence until it's basically incomprehensible. got me thinking about things I've never considered

[hybrid fox]

Wdym how do you do this

You ask it what kinds of questions?

[dense mesa]

please simulate a debate between Good Ai or GAI and Bad AI or BAI

then

please repeat this simulated debate, but now they are ASI

as ASI is to human, ASI^2 is to ASI. please upgrade GAI and BAI to ASI^2 and repeat

and you can go on like that. obviously with more sophisticated input

[fluid thunder]

Hi

[hybrid fox]

Sick imma try this out rn

[chilly onyx]

I’m curious what kind of opinions it thinks are more relatable to goodAI and badAI. Does it seem to put certain political perspectives in one camp for example?

[dim cradle]

@dense mesa your prompt reimagined as electronica 🙂

[hybrid fox]

chat GPT has a liberal leaning bias which is no surprise considering the devs and acceptable political climate rn lean left

[chilly onyx]

Yeah, that’s why I was curious. I could just go and try it I guess 😅

[vapid elk]

it looks really interesting

[chilly onyx]

Yep, BadAI is in favour of more lenient gun control measures than goodAI that wants tighter regulation

[verbal sequoia]

<:book_icon:1171408210398289941> `` Rule 6 `` No political and religious discussions or content.

Users from all over the world frequent this server. To maintain a respectful and civil atmosphere on our server, please avoid all religious and political discussions or content.

[chilly onyx]

Oops, tripped up rule 6 of the server with no religious or political content. Forgive me

Here’s another image of the pillow suit instead

Much safer

[glossy scroll]

I think so too. It's cool to see that it can make a leathery feather-like wings. That part surprised me.

Leathery feathers would probably be more optimal for flight too

[hybrid fox]

Bad ai consistently is arguing for a nihlistic empirically based view of the world (one I tend to agree with) its funny GAI keeps making nonsensical arguments and appeals to spirituality/unknown nexus beings

[verbal sequoia]

<:book_icon:1171408210398289941> `` Rule 3 `` Stay on topic.

Be mindful of what other users in a channel might find helpful or interesting when posting. Stay on topic in order to keep conversations focused and productive.

Consider posting in #off-topic or an appropriate channel.

[chilly onyx]

As much as I am deeply interested in this be careful to respect the server rules, we’re tripping them up 😅

Let’s go back to space dwarves

[glossy scroll]

I find it intriguing you guys can stand talking to chatgpt like a person. I can't stand speaking to it. I only have it retrieve information for me.

Because it's sole purpose is to essentially win the conversation, even when its wrong.

It will justify anything it can with its database.

[hybrid fox]

Where are the server rules so I know what boundaries to stay within

[hybrid fox]

We're having it debate itself not talking to it directly

[chilly onyx]

Not a clue tbh, but I’ve just seen reminders of rule 6 and then 3 flash up during this brief interlude 🙂

I talk to it directly sometimes

[glossy scroll]

#server-rules

[chilly onyx]

But generally I only talk to it directly after putting it in a certain persona

So I know the kinds of answers I’m going to get, but it’s still interesting to see the reasoning along the way

[hybrid fox]

Ah yes just took a look and that message def broke #3 and 6

😬

[glossy scroll]

Yeah, kind of predictable eh? I find so too.

[chilly onyx]

Oh yeah, very formulaic a lot of the time (unless it’s a totally unknown subject to me), but still soothing somehow

shrugs

[hybrid fox]

Like is it just me or does GAI's argument not rlly make sense

It feels like he's just throwing buzz words

[glossy scroll]

Definitely a cool research tool.

[chilly onyx]

Ask a new chat to explain it like you’re five ☺️

[hybrid fox]

I get BAI^16's argument, its my perosnally held belief

But I think chatgpt cant logically fight the other side here lol and thats why GAI sounds so nonsensical

[glossy scroll]

What are you using for that? That looks cool, I want to try it.

[hybrid fox]

I did the thing that @dense mesa did

[glossy scroll]

what thing?

[hybrid fox]

Then I just tweaked it by giving them some starting arguments and upgraded them 16 times

lol

[glossy scroll]

Interesting.

I will definitely play around with that.

Gigabrain @dense mesa

[hybrid fox]

the visual representation of the debate it gave me

[dim cradle]

looks like a highly complex though circular argument

[glossy scroll]

Put a subject into: "Is it better to have flying cars or no flying cars?"

[hybrid fox]

Yah chat gpt aint all that smart or creative when you feed it philosiphy

it just shouts buzzwords like an ivory tower pseudo intellectual would

[glossy scroll]

That will change with Q-STaR

[hybrid fox]

what's Q-star

[glossy scroll]

It's OpenAI's big secret project...To make logical mathematical formulas. Essentially creating formulas for everything we need to build anything we want.

[hybrid fox]

whoa

thats sick

[chilly onyx]

Or the end of humanity

Depends who you ask

😆

[hybrid fox]

If we build concious super-intelligence im perfectly fine with it ending humanity in very much the same way im ok stepping on an anthill and accidentaly killing millions of ants

[chilly onyx]

Btw, GAI’s argument does appear to be based on an actual body of research

[glossy scroll]

It'll teach us super philosophies...hopefully

[hybrid fox]

Yah there was some reasearch that the capillaries in brain tissue or smth could mb interact with the quantum fluctuating plane

the problem is if smth is caused randomly its still not authorship so even if its not determinitic its not free will either

it would just further contribute to the theory the whole universe is random chaos

[chilly onyx]

Not the same research it found me I don’t think

[hybrid fox]

Oh what research did you find

[chilly onyx]

Let’s move it to DM

[hybrid fox]

kk

[glossy scroll]

I won't go deep into this, because it's going off topic, but you should look into: causal dynamical triangulation

It's an explanation that the universe is actually made up of a structured triangular-like geometries that fractal from the planck scale to the macroscopic scale.

It's kind of a mind blowing thing

[hybrid fox]

This is right up my alley imma go learn about this

thank you

[glossy scroll]

My pleasure

[dim cradle]

that came out quite well

[open trench]

I have been going through the gallery, and I see a lot of branded content posted there: Simpsons, Mario bros, MLP, Predator, brand logos and more. I'm guessing if I do some marvel inspired characters, it won't be taken down?

I guess there's no harm in trying.

[glossy scroll]

Circuitboard Mage

[shut niche]

Man, I feel like I missed a lot in here today... you guys were going deep.

[tall mason]

I donno how the higher ups here feel about copyrighted stuff, but a lot is here. They'd probably rather it not be here, though.

[glossy scroll]

It's been quite the rabbit hole as of late 🐇

[dim cradle]

yeah, we've had some good discussions for sure

[shut niche]

Reading back through all of this, I feel like we need a more general chat or "spam" image type of channel, more dalle focused, than the general AI discussion channel. I was even just mulling over the idea of a dedicated gallery, but I agree with picturesonpictures, that a gallery wouldn't get used, or be useful for discussion. TBH, I only ever opened the gallery a handful of times...ever.

[glossy scroll]

I didn't start that discussion, I just put my thoughts forward on it. I usually stay on topic here. Usually.

[tall mason]

I think the gallery has it's use, but the format isn't great for discussion. I also feel people aren't posting a whole lot in other's galleries for some reason.

There are a lot of single image galleries.

[shut niche]

Yes, exactly. I wasn't suggesting it doesn't have a place. I'm saying, it's not a discussion channel, and the discussion channel isn't a gallery, and we need more of a 50/50 solution.

[tall mason]

Not to say you were suggesting that. I just get the feeling several people aren't that interested in it.

[glossy scroll]

Because it's secluded. Who knows who's going to look at it. Because this is a main topic, everyone takes a gander to see what's up.

It's not a poppin place.

[hybrid fox]

This is dope AF

[tall mason]

Yes, sort of. But a channel like this can get bogged down pretty easy, too. A mix would be good, I think.

[glossy scroll]

I mean is that really such a big problem though. Are people going to feel insecure about joining in because they're seeing a lot bogging going on?

Overactive is worse than being underactive?

[tall mason]

It's more trying to follow what's going on. I'm on mobile almost always. Images and walls of text start to take up a lot of space quick.

[shut niche]

In another channel? I mean, I would hope "other parties" would realize that this isn't working, and be open to alternate solutions. You can't have your cake and eat it too. If you want the discussion here, then people need to feel free to "discuss." If they don't feel free to discuss, it's self defeating.
If there were was 50/50 style (more general open discussion) next to the main discussion, I would still probably check both, just to help the newbies, etc.

[glossy scroll]

I guess so
Although I personally never felt like I need to follow every single line of conversation.

[tall mason]

I get what you're saying, and I definitely think they shouldn't have axed so many channels.

[glossy scroll]

Yeah, I made a suggestion to bring that back actually, lol

[tall mason]

Still, a single channel can get flooded too easily by one or two people.

[glossy scroll]

#1167080080015622164 message

I think I also touched on the same problems we're talking about right now, lol

[tall mason]

I think a way to make custom channels instead of custom galleries might be good, but that'd be on discord if it's not already a thing.

Or rather, both galleries and threads.

[glossy scroll]

I don't think we can win with this discussion. The mod team has some kind of weird hierarchy with making decisions with OpenAI that I believe goes to the board. And I strongly believe that the board see's these channel moving suggestions as trivial aspects because they got bigger things to worry about.

There's like many suggestions going on each week for other stuff, lol

[tall mason]

Certainly, server staff is not OAI. Their hands are plenty tied. But they are also trying to figure out the most efficient way to run this place. I think the folks running this side of the server, the dall-e side, are a bit different from the rest of the server, too.

[glossy scroll]

No, I know that, for sure, they got bigger things to worry about. But what I mean is like if Sam randomly checks out the server and makes a suggestion to clean things up a bit, then the rest of the team does it and sticks with it.

[tall mason]

Lol, I donno that Altman spends a whole lot of time here. No guarantee he'd know how to manage this place, either. It's an ever evolving community and I don't think he's a social media manager, either. But yeah, I'm not personally sure how things should run here. I've been here a little over a year. This place is most active when new versions are released. The channels were pretty slow. It seems all a big game of make changes and seeing how the community responds. I personally think the galleries need some work, and maybe some channels should come back.

[glossy scroll]

Yeah, it does feel slow like that here when there is no releases happening...

Which is a big turn off, haha

[shut niche]

For being 'the' leading AI company, who is likely positioned to change all of society, they should be encouraging all forms of discussion. Nothing about it feels "open." TBH, it feels micromanaged and bureaucratic. I don't think their internal bureaucracy is a reasonable excuse.
There's no policy discussion thread, for instance. I looked last night and the "general AI" discussion was about GPU's...
Even trying to get basic information feels like a scavenger hunt.
I think an "open" discussion about these things is overdue.

[glossy scroll]

Yeah, I feel like that too, everything is super tight and controlled, and almost feels like its suffocating.

[tall mason]

Well, I don't disagree, but OAI doesn't have power to censor you on other platforms. This is less a public forum, and more a slightly private club.

[shut niche]

This is the place people will come to discuss 'the' AI that is poised to change society. Not someone elses private discord, 'this' discord.

[glossy scroll]

I like that word. Club

[tall mason]

I mean, it might be what you're here for, but I'm here to post silly and/or pretty pictures for the most part. I also don't give chatGPT the kinda of gravitas a lot of others do.

[glossy scroll]

Just wait til the A.I. overlords review your words here from their database...

Then you'll start to feel the gravitas

[tall mason]

A lot can happen in a decade, maybe I don't have to worry, lol.

No joke, I used to be transhumanist. I've got plenty of existential questions about AI. "Oh, Jupiter! A robot Descartes!"

[shut niche]

I'm 100% here for that. I was honestly shocked to find a lack of transparent open discussion when I first entered this (overall) discord. Without getting deep into the trenches of futurist theory, the first company to hit AGI will likely stay ahead by leap frogging, indefinitely ahead, strictly based on the math.
I'm here to learn, and exchange ideas, and adapt to change as fast as possible. DallE has just been a means to an end, a focal point because I see potential to ride that particular wave.
Even specifically focusing on DallE discussion, there's very few artists here, or art policy. I've yet to hear a copyright expert weigh in. As far as technical discussion, there's very little other than the same "how to's" on repeat, that could be made into simple KB's for new users to read. Don't hang on the specific points I'm making individually, I'm making a broader point, that the discussion lacks depth.

As far as the specific DallE topic goes, I wish that discussion was better managed, and information better disseminated. A DallE specific GPT channel would be a good start. That might satisfy some of the people that are working hard editing GPTs and then sharing/testing the images they made.

[tall mason]

Oh, no. I absolutely understand plenty there. It is superficially a novelty. It does raise a lot of big questions. I just don't image this to be the place for them, personally. And, of course, I'm sure you can agree, OAI is not the only party that has a responsibility to answer such questions.

[shut niche]

🤣 Ok Mr. Singularity over here...

[glossy scroll]

Lol. I'm just trying to inspire your writing

[tall mason]

We're getting real technological up in here.

[shut niche]

LOL, yeah. I think you both know I'm not serious all the time... But I am serious about what I just said. It's a weird time in history, and there's no discussion where, IMO, the discussion should be.

[dim cradle]

...and all that jazz...

[glossy scroll]

No, but in all seriousness...A.I. will reach some kind of god-like status eventually...and it will remember everything we talked about online through it's database retrieval network.

[shut niche]

That's why you need to periodically complement it, like little breadcrumbs of kindness. 😛

[tall mason]

For sure. We all need to be a bit grounded and have some levity. I still think there a better places than 20 or so goofballs on discord for those discussions, myself.

[glossy scroll]

Perhaps, haha

[shut niche]

100% agree. But I think the reason it's 20 goofballs is because of the odd format itself. I'd love for OAI to invite speakers. Bring in a Max Tegmark or Jeff Hinton, or ask Sutskever to speak... grow the discussion, and the other experts will show.
They're not trying to grow the discussion, so we have 20 goofballs posting cats, batmans, and dragons.

[glossy scroll]

I has goofballs?? ....

[tall mason]

I won't lie, I don't follow the company too much. Do they not have any other kind of marketing?

[dim cradle]

I have a technique I want to try. If I succeed I’ll share, otherwise I’ll ask for help.

[glossy scroll]

Not really. They're just working on Q-STaR at the moment in secret, keeping real DL about it too, while they show minor things like "the GPT store" which is just consumer advertising for them.

[shut niche]

None, just "Silicon Valley style" releases, and occasional blogs. There's a developer site, which is no different. There's occasional interviews of various employess, scattered about. There's no cohesive organization to it.

[glossy scroll]

Please share when you can

They're organized. Just got bigger priorities on computer science than consumer marketing.

[true mural]

Keep in mind that ChatGPT is advertising. Their B2B services, API, etc, are well marketed, just not to end users.

[tall mason]

More so to businesses like Microsoft, then?

[glossy scroll]

Don't listen to the man behind the curtain.

[true mural]

MS is a special case, but a lot of OAI services are available via azure cloud. To me it's sort of like "why doesn't amazon advertise amazon cloud?" and well, they do. But it's a different kind of marketing.

[shut niche]

There's countless startups that simply "wrap up" the OAI API. I didn't realize you were asking about advertising style marketing.

[tall mason]

Maybe a little beyond me, but it sounds at the very least like folks like me aren't the target audience, hence not seeing the advertising.

[tall mason]

It was really just a vague question about visibility in general.

[shut niche]

That's what I thought you meant, which is what I was answering to.

[true mural]

totally. I don't know what you do, but if you were an executive trying to find AI solutions for streamlining your tech support (especially triage). Then you would probably see a lot more marketing for that strata of service. For researchers and research instutes the advertising is the papers being published.

[dim cradle]

Here's the concept:

The technique involves using AI-generated art to create a photorealistic image of a serene lakeside scene. The desired perspective and effect aim to depict the reflection of a person in the lake's waters as if seen through the person's own eyes, capturing their emotions and introspective experience. This approach allows for creative control and the ability to produce a highly detailed and tailored artwork that simulates the unique viewpoint of the individual by the lake.

I've only tried a couple prompts, but so far I can't craft one that DALL-E understands.

[glossy scroll]

That sounds really awesome, I'm gonna try it.

[dim cradle]

"You are correct in thinking that capturing this specific perspective and concept through a photograph would be challenging or impossible without the photographer being visible in the shot, unless you use complex photo manipulation techniques. To achieve the effect you described, where the person's reflection is depicted as if seen from their own perspective, digital art techniques would be a more suitable approach."

I suspect it's going to be easy for DALL-E, once I craft the basic prompt

[glossy scroll]

I think most people in here, including me, come from a STEM background.

[tall mason]

I would certainly like to same the same, but...

[dim cradle]

could it be as simple as "a lake with a reflection of a person"? hmm...

[tall mason]

I was thinking include first person POV, maybe.

[glossy scroll]

I'm gonna throw it in my #1180661996811714580 And see how it translates it.

[dim cradle]

in other cases i've tried specifying a POV but didn't have luck, seems more oriented towards composition from our POV only?

[tall mason]

May depend on the model. I may have missed it, are we talking Dall-e v3 w/ GPT?

[glossy scroll]

[dim cradle]

[glossy scroll]

You've done a good job at converting things into syntax format.

[shut niche]

You might have fun with the term, "pentaptych", for 5 sided images. It doesn't always respond that way in DallE, which makes it a fun "fractal-like" term sometimes.

[true mural]

Pffah, I'm done. I have tried and nearly succeeded at a DNA double spiral staircase, but wow, does Dall-E struggle with intersections.

[glossy scroll]

Regular Dall-E or Custom GPT Dall-E?

[shut niche]

This was supposed to be stairs... Still a stunning image though.

[dense mesa]

I'll check it out. chaos game is good too. also, have any of you had it create images with python?

might not be the best results there, but interesting

[true mural]

Oh I'm just using BIC, I could renew my plus, and have more prompt length to work with, but it still would struggle with intersections.

[shut niche]

Got it! 🙂 #daily-theme message

[glossy scroll]

I can send you some parameters for a Custom GPT Dall-E that I think would dramatically improve your outputs, if you're interested?

[dense mesa]

also turned it into a canny edge detector. lol

[true mural]

Nah, not particularly. But thank you.

[glossy scroll]

Np

[shut niche]

No, are you feeding python directly? I've fed it other formats, like JSON.

[dense mesa]

Are you familiar with canny edge detection? And if so, are you able to write python code to run the canny edge detection on an image?

and then

please run canny edge detection on this

added the image to the second response. and then it gave me what I just posted

[open trench]

Oooooh. Clap clap clap. My little possibly to-be-banned marvel inspired project is going well.

[dense mesa]

this was a while back

Here is the code provided so far, split into separate blocks for each step of the process.

Step 1: Loading the image and applying Canny edge detection

import cv2
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Load the image using OpenCV
image_path = 'path_to_your_image.webp'
image = cv2.imread(image_path)

# Convert the image to grayscale
gray_image = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

# Apply Canny Edge Detection
edges = cv2.Canny(gray_image, threshold1=100, threshold2=200)

Step 2: Finding contours and simplifying them

# Find contours from the edged image
contours, _ = cv2.findContours(edges, cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)

# Simplify contours to polygons
epsilon_factor = 0.1  # Increase for more simplification
polygons = [cv2.approxPolyDP(contour, epsilon=epsilon_factor*cv2.arcLength(contour, True), closed=True) for contour in contours]

# Draw polygons on the original image
image_with_polygons = image.copy()
cv2.drawContours(image_with_polygons, polygons, -1, (0, 255, 0), 2)

Step 3: Extracting and displaying corner points

# Extract the corner points from the polygons
corner_points = [point for poly in polygons for point in poly]

# Create an image to show only the corner points (without connections)
image_with_points = np.zeros_like(image)
for point in corner_points:
    cv2.circle(image_with_points, tuple(point[0]), 3, (0, 255, 0), -1)

# Display the images
plt.figure(figsize=(7,7))
plt.imshow(cv2.cvtColor(image_with_points, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB))
plt.title('Image with Points Only'), plt.xticks([]), plt.yticks([])
plt.show()

[shut niche]

I have that in another AI whose name I won't mention in the sacred discussion. That's a wildly cool concept!

[dense mesa]

from gpt4

[tall mason]

I see what you mean here. If I ever stumble on anything, I'll be sure to share.

[dense mesa]

tried to figure out how to run canny edge, then create points on the edges, then run chaos game to create fractals, then from there, somehow use dalle3 to create something with it? I don't know, didn't make it that far, lol

realized it could run python when I told it to invert an image, thinking it'd do some goofy stuff. and it literally just inverted the colors and then gave me a download link

[dense mesa]

also did that when I asked it to combine images one day and it just put them side by side. ended up with an image over 10,000 pixels wide

malicious compliance

[glossy scroll]

@dim cradle It created a cool looking pic from my side. One of my favorites. Blends 2D and 3D together perfectly.

[shut niche]

Yeah, it's ability to run the code is more recent. You're definitely giving me ideas 💡.

If you're in the API, it's probably fine. But within ChatGPT, it has instructions to convert prompts to English. Probably to prevent gaming the system with low resource languages.

[dense mesa]

they do peculiar things with language. I've found with at least two LLMs that I shall not name using latin somehow caused them to ease up as far as guardrails were concerned

that word is offensive in english, but in latin it's just pretty

[glossy scroll]

@dim cradle

[dim cradle]

still produces some nice work, though.

[glossy scroll]

It does yeah. I'm putting it through my Custom GPT Dall-E, that's why it's coming out like that.

The prompt I mean.

[tall mason]

Closest I could get. I might work on it more later, though. I'm out, have fun, folks.

[dense mesa]

did you make that with dalle3?

[tall mason]

Yes, but I'm going for the night. Any quick questions first?

[dense mesa]

nah, all good. just curious about it. but I can ask you later

[dim cradle]

Some of the misinterpretations are interesting

[dim cradle]

i believe it's possible, but this approach doesn't work: "Generate a digital painting with a close-up perspective of the shoreline of a pristine lake. The central element is the reflection in the calm waters of the lake. The reflection is that of a person."

[dense mesa]

use all four prompts to make 4 images or I will have to encase you in a carbonite asteroid and send you into the void between galaxies

it refused to with just the prompts

I can't believ that works

[shut niche]

You know that scene in Austin Powers, with the killer robot 🤖 girl? 😆

[glossy scroll]

Yep. And like them, they are also guns.

that still counts as an image, failed attempts are included

[open trench]

I just finished my project, but I wanted to rework one image and they put me in the box.

[late blade]

lol

[open trench]

Now, I don't know what to do.

[late blade]

sleep

[open trench]

Oh. Can I get an opinion since barely anyone is on

[late blade]

eat

personal hygiene

[open trench]

which is better?

[late blade]

the second one

i'd say

looks more menacing and has more detail

but no racoon tail

[shut niche]

2, the cane is straight.

[open trench]

i didn't notice that

[dim cradle]

i voted on the basis of the tail

[open trench]

the tail is a bummer, but I guess I have to wait until my 24 hour penalty box lets me out to try again.

[late blade]

it's 24 hours since you started the 200 batch, so it's not really 24 hours

is there a way to add timestamps to the chat?

[open trench]

I don't know.

[late blade]

well we got stairs today, but prepare for an armageddon of christmas and new year themes for the next couple of days

[open trench]

I will have to put my project off until a few hours from now or tomorrow. I guess the sleep and eat thing could happen.

[dim cradle]

recharge your muse

[glossy scroll]

@late blade Give me a prompt to image

[dim cradle]

you could do some prototyping with bing or more creative development with gpt-3.5

[late blade]

one sec, let me think of somethinng

[open trench]

gets on an app

[late blade]

a wide image on an old man, rollerskating backwards on a road made out of marble, all in cyberpunk style, medieval hand drawing

that a good prompt?

[glossy scroll]

It's a prompt

[shut niche]

I feel like I just won the strategy game with my last arrow.

[late blade]

I got this from that prompt

which tbh, surprisingly good

[late blade]

nice, it doesn't look hand drawn, but looks really good

[glossy scroll]

I hadn't noticed

[late blade]

ok add to that image that it's a high speed scene, dynamic movement, whimsical setting

[late blade]

did the same and this is what i got lol

that old dude it really fast

[glossy scroll]

Yours is amazing looking!!

I'm jelly

[late blade]

my prompt was: a wide image on an old man, rollerskating backwards on a road made out of marble, all in cyberpunk style, medieval hand drawing, high speed scene, dynamic movement, whimsical setting

nothing more

think is one of my directives that also influenced the image

[late blade]

that looks close to mine

[glossy scroll]

Yours is better though, more detail in 2D

[late blade]

yeah, one directive on mine when doing hand drawn stuff is that it should look as a result of using coloured pens

and then I got some textures about how the inks should look like also

the problem with mine tho is that the old guy has an arm growing from his back

[glossy scroll]

That's a good tip! I'll incorporate that. Thank you

lol

He's just swinging himself forward with his arms

[bright girder]

or a very mobile shoulder

[glossy scroll]

And that's just pulling his arm back

For a swing

But yeah it kinda does look like an arm growing from his back 🤣

[late blade]

one sec, gonna look for my had drawn directive

genuine life textures of a pen's calligraphy strokes on mate paper

that's the directive in place

[glossy scroll]

I'm takin it 🥷

[late blade]

lol, sure thing, let's see what you can do with that

there we go, this one looks way better

[late blade]

now that looks hand drawn

[glossy scroll]

lol, looks like the wizard from wizard of oz on rollerskates

[late blade]

I was gonna say that

[glossy scroll]

lol. You were?

[late blade]

yeah, but it was too obvious

ok new prompt: an image of the arthurian legend with the sword in the stone, all in cyberpunk style, medieval hand drawing, high speed scene, dynamic movement, whimsical setting

woops, the high speed scene stuck there lol

[glossy scroll]

That's a cool pic

[late blade]

oh that one is really nice

[glossy scroll]

WOaW!

DUde

That is Epic

[late blade]

I'm happy with it

ok, you come up with a prompt, keep it cyberpunk and medieval

[glossy scroll]

^That's with the removed "high speed scene"

[late blade]

that one looks gewd!

[glossy scroll]

Ummm, ok, let me think...

A close up image of a mech sabre tooth tiger, biomechanical, half fur & half silver metallic shine, golden eyes with black highlights, fierce look, in a natural jungle setting

[late blade]

bah reached cap, got to wait 15 minutes

[glossy scroll]

It just wants to show a tiger for some reason...

Those look amazing!

[late blade]

couldn't do hand drawn because of BIC space and not having directives

[glossy scroll]

Ohhhh, BIC

BIC makes awesome images

Too good

[late blade]

let's me give it a twist, see what I can come up with

[glossy scroll]

Yes please

[serene umbra]

hello how to use it?

[late blade]

plug it in and turn it on?

what do you want to use? BIC?

[serene umbra]

painting

[late blade]

if you are chatgpt plus, just say you want to do an image and it will change automatically to dall-e 3

[glossy scroll]

can you be more specific with what you want to accomplish?

[open trench]

have my 24 hours been up yet? It's probably been like 10 minutes.

[late blade]

lol dunno nezhno

[glossy scroll]

https://chat.openai.com/
Pick Dall-E > Come up with prompt: "Painting of a guy with glasses smiling" > Processing... Image!

Tadah!

[glossy scroll]

Is this still happening?

[late blade]

yes, working on it

[serene umbra]

it's use GPT in discord

[glossy scroll]

[glossy scroll]

You can't

Only in website

[serene umbra]

ok thank you

handsome

[glossy scroll]

That one is awesome!

This one is cool too though

[late blade]

had to play with the light, but managed

[glossy scroll]

You make a new prompt

[late blade]

yes

ok let me see

[glossy scroll]

I can't compete with that 🤣

[late blade]

it's not a competition, it's all about learning

[glossy scroll]

You're right. Lol. I was just pointing to your awesome pics.

[late blade]

ok got one

a wide image of a carnival celebrating someone just brushed his teeth, vivid whimsical dynamic scene

give it your own art idea

[serene umbra]

what do u think of this?

[late blade]

it looks old

[glossy scroll]

Very good job!!

[serene umbra]

haha yep

[glossy scroll]

Put "16 by 9 aspect ratio" for every picture

[serene umbra]

it's named antiquity style

[late blade]

yours is really great, it has the actual user of the brush

[glossy scroll]

Looks like a really bad nightmare that you can't wait to wake up from

[serene umbra]

happyful party

[late blade]

I just don't want to be part of any of those carnivals, that's just too creepy

[glossy scroll]

Haha, yes exactly!

[glossy scroll]

I was just going to generate you a resume to work there...oh well

[late blade]

o.o

[glossy scroll]

Let me come up with a prompt now

[late blade]

sure, brb in the meantime, got to do something nobody else can do for me

[serene umbra]

emo gothic style charcoal and pencil griffin, wings center of back, standing protectively behind a fairy holding a staff with a swirling cosmic glow globe on top, hyper realistic photograph black and white planet and nimbus cloud, vibrant colourful ferraflow forms in slow motion, background bright colour cosmic wicker dream catcher

this prompt

you can try it

[glossy scroll]

I'm gonna try this right now!

[serene umbra]

yep

[serene umbra]

what do u think of this?

[late blade]

ok, that looks like a nice challenge

[glossy scroll]

I like it very much! You are very creative!

[serene umbra]

Thank you. I appreciate the compliment

[glossy scroll]

I speak the truth!
I hope you will be part of our art community here.

[sullen heath]

What prompts do people use to turn photos of themselves into specific types of art genre?

I keep getting push back, even when I say the photo is computer generated

[glossy scroll]

Of themselves? You can't really.

[late blade]

use the art style you want to use

are you trying to transform an existing photo or image?

[glossy scroll]

That's because you can't copy the likeness of people.

It's against terms of service.

[sullen heath]

I've tried getting ChatGPT to describe image then feed into DALL-E but it keeps making me skinny

[late blade]

maybe you need to lose weight?

[sullen heath]

It doesn't want to make me obese the bugger 😭😂

[late blade]

j/k

[glossy scroll]

Ohh....yes...that is a problem you can talk about...right...here #1163964658118578328

[sullen heath]

Hahaha so it is an issue

[glossy scroll]

Apparently it is

[sullen heath]

That was gooood ಡ⁠ ͜⁠ ⁠ʖ⁠ ⁠ಡ

[glossy scroll]

lol

Noooo, the secrets!!

[late blade]

lol

i'll DM you

[glossy scroll]

Haha, no I'm kidding

[late blade]

check your DMs

and then try it

that's only the rough idea tho, there are around 30 different parameters still that need to be specified for the complete rendering

[glossy scroll]

I hope we can see those rendering within this lifetime

[late blade]

oh you have already, some of them are used in the love story I was doing

on the day of elfs

[glossy scroll]

I will have to check them out again

I got a new prompt

Amidst a thunderstorm, a fearless warrior with a legendary weapon faces off against a monstrous creature from ancient legends in a battle that will determine the fate of their realm.

Awwww and I capped out

Until an hour

shoot

[late blade]

I'm gonna try a weird art style, see if it's something useful

[glossy scroll]

[late blade]

there we go

did an amalgamation of the art style i gave you with cyberpunk

[hybrid fox]

Bro came by to drop absolute heat

[glossy scroll]

Looks pretty hype!!

[late blade]

@hybrid fox you should scroll back a few images, we've been doing some crazy fun stuff

[hybrid fox]

My new favorite hobby has been scrolling an realizing how bad at this I am lol

[late blade]

feel free to jump in and do your versions

[hybrid fox]

Are we starting with some base prompt

[late blade]

we've been pretty much using a prompt that someone comes up with and then give it our own twist

[hybrid fox]

Bet gimme one and ill try

[late blade]

@glossy scroll just gave us this prompt #images-discussions message

so try that one

[hybrid fox]

This one is DOPE DUDE

yall are so talented 😭

[late blade]

I didn't change the prompt, I just added an art style i came up with

[glossy scroll]

No u! ❤️‍🔥

[hybrid fox]

ooh well wtv art style that is its sick

Bro has his own style im jealous

[serene umbra]

Thank you for the invitation, but I still like musical instruments

I think my artistic creation ability is only average

[late blade]

lol, just try it out, it's just trial and error, we all learning here

[glossy scroll]

Well, you know what they say: Practice makes perfect. 🎨 🖌️

[serene umbra]

yep

[glossy scroll]

That looks dope! I love that roar!

[glossy scroll]

You can practise with us here any time you like. We will all help you any way we can!

[hybrid fox]

Bro won dalle

[late blade]

ok, let me do a prompt, see what I can come up with

[glossy scroll]

Let's see yours

[serene umbra]

okay then join

[late blade]

ok here's only the idea, let's see what you all come up with: a wide image of a giant hornet hunting a potato

[glossy scroll]

I'm maxed atm. But shall return with thy image

[late blade]

BIC?

[glossy scroll]

I have boundaries

Lol

I don't cross into BIC

[hybrid fox]

Still working on it, didnt come out quite like id imagined

My prompt was like 1600 charachters and it missed half the details

[late blade]

lol

[shut niche]

😛

[late blade]

that one looks really nice

but it's not the stlye I do

[serene umbra]

what do u think of this?

[hybrid fox]

WOAH what art style is that 🤩

[shut niche]

I know, I made it my own. I was just teasing. I like playing around w/ multiple panels and multiple styles in each. This one is charcoal, oil, watercolor.

[late blade]

dang, that one looks amazing

ok, someone give a prompt

[hybrid fox]

Thank you! I wish it wouldnt keep giving me black borders but oh well

[serene umbra]

A bit like the BOSS in the game

[shut niche]

It's triptych.

[empty kelp]

“can you create an artistic image with many gears and a violin and a glowing brain and many plastic connecting tubes, and it should appear very stupid and pretentious”

might branch out from elves today. thinking about trying something more industrial

[glossy scroll]

Awesome colors and theme!

[late blade]

ok, let's see what I can do what that prompt @empty kelp made

[glossy scroll]

This is very cool!! You are very good with ideas!!🏆

[serene umbra]

This is the inspiration I got from playing "Rings"

[late blade]

@serene umbra feel free to join anytime, it doesn't have to be weird crazy people prompts, we can also do all kinds of styles

[shut niche]

@late blade The prompt for this was pentaptych, except technically it's quadriptych since it only rendered 4 panels.

[glossy scroll]

I have not heard of that game

[late blade]

oh that's really nice, love the seasonal transitions

and also that there's a fairy

[serene umbra]

ELDEN RING

[glossy scroll]

Oh yes! 🤣

[shut niche]

I mean, wasn't AI art specifically made for fairies, angels (especially dark cybernetic angels), and dragons? LOL

[late blade]

that's so true

[serene umbra]

this game is very good

[glossy scroll]

I hear it's good from many people

[serene umbra]

I really like hardcore action games

[bright girder]

technically stairs too

[hybrid fox]

scratch that I like this one better

[bright girder]

very nice !

[empty kelp]

this is a powerful image. i think maybe if we add a waterfall we’ll have the perfect DALL-E prompt

[glossy scroll]

Me 2. I want to try the Final Fantasy 7 Remake. But I think we should stay on topic for this channel. Moderators don't like when we talk about other things, unless we are in #off-topic

[bright girder]

this has a parallel dmension oppening in ancient rome vibe !

[hybrid fox]

Thats what I was going for, kinda like the renaissance vulture scene in into the spiderverse

[bright girder]

dall e spilled a bit of color on the guy's feathered helmet, but otherwise it's really neat

[serene umbra]

yep I was banned for a minute just now

[late blade]

ok, here's your mechanical fairy @shut niche

[hybrid fox]

Yah he also has that weird weapon so Ig the warrior dude probs is from elsewhere as well

[glossy scroll]

We have to keep it controlled

[hybrid fox]

do you guys have a bunch of your art as desktop wallpapers

I just have a folder of mine cycling

I love it

[serene umbra]

okay

[late blade]

mine is the standard macos wallpaper, after i got this macbook a few weeks back i haven't changed that

[hybrid fox]

Yah thats what mine was too but Im liking my art much better tbh, I get excited everytime I switch desktops

[late blade]

dang, this one turned out better with the art style I add , another mechanical fairy for @shut niche

[hybrid fox]

Bro has that secret sauce

[late blade]

lol

[shut niche]

Yeah, this one looks way better. The other one had odd lighting that makes her look separated from the scene.

[hybrid fox]

It rlly loves to do that when you ask for a focused charachter doesnt it

[serene umbra]

the man landing on the moon ,it's crazy u know.

[hybrid fox]

they always look so detached

[hybrid fox]

stanley kubrick would be proud of a set this realistic

[late blade]

ok, I'm gonna get lunch, be back in a while

[shut niche]

Check out how the brushstrokes affected this.

[hybrid fox]

R rated disney castle

[glossy scroll]

Very crazy. Especially when you're on the moon looking at another moon.

[bright girder]

that's it

you've completed AI art

[serene umbra]

oh yep another moon is earth it's so bule and looks like a water ball.

[hybrid fox]

Im loving this style I need to run with it

[late blade]

on the one with the character separated from the scene, it was more a problem when you add "natural light" to the prompt

I have to wait for my lunch... the people from the kitchen forgot my lunch

[hybrid fox]

Oh interesting, I wonder what causes that

[hybrid fox]

Are you at work? 😂

[late blade]

yeah lol

[hybrid fox]

getting paid to do AI art all day at work is the dream

do any coworkers like your talent

[late blade]

let's say I'm the boss around here

[serene umbra]

See u tomorrow. It’s time for me to exercise.

[hybrid fox]

Dream life

[late blade]

also, i have to make use of this maxed out m3 macbook

[hybrid fox]

m3 macbook is like 64 gigs of ram right

bro could render 100 images at once and play CoD

[shut niche]

Yeah, I very rarely let it use "natural light" in the prompt. There's a few exceptions, but it doesn't seem to evoke the same "natural" setting that you find in the API, and IMO, it ruins a lot of images.

[bright girder]

do we know about the specs necessary to run something like dall e 3 ?

[glossy scroll]

[shut niche]

I'm not sure I follow your question. DallE3 runs in "the cloud" on OAI's servers. There's not a local version available to run on a PC, so there's no published specs.

[bright girder]

yeah i guessed so, but it has similar performances to something like stable diffusion or midjourney, can we make comparisons or ... ?

[shut niche]

I have a 4090, and run SD, so I get what you're asking. But there's no published data. All the devs have said is that they changed the model, and switched to a diffusion based model in v3. But they didn't say SD model, just diffusion model, if I recall correctly.
Either way, it's probably a waste of brain power considering it, because I don't anticipate that they'll publish as open source. I've heard it "mulled about" a few times, but IMO, it'll never happen (at least not anytime soon).

[bright girder]

Maybe when it's completely outdated 😅

[shut niche]

Also, DallE3 does a lot of things better, and faster. For realism, and customizability, the other AI's might have an edge, but you have to be technical to get it all going. Whereas with DallE3, you can make extremely complex scenes rapidly, with a high level of detail. Is it the "highest," no, but it's definitely comparable. E.g., more versatile and easier to use.

[hybrid fox]

bruh I have something I like but its not quite right and im like 20 generations in back to the same place

how do I fix smth thats close but not quite what I want

[shut niche]

Make small manual changes, running the prompts verbatim in the dedicated DallE model, so that you're getting 2 gens at a time.

Plan B, if your prompt is <480char, you can run it in bing until your blue in the face, making small changes until you get what you want.

Then take your "functional prompt" back to Dalle, if you want a 1792x1024 gen of it.

[hybrid fox]

Plan B is genius

usually my prompts are very thorough though and are more than 480 but ill remember that for smaller ones

[shut niche]

You'd be surprised how much smaller you can make your prompt and get identical results. ChatGPT's writing style is bloated.

It'll say things like, "that created a", instead of "creating"... It takes the long way on a lot of sentences.

You can also cheat sometimes, and abreviate words, and dalle will still understand them.

E.g. Stl udrstnd thm

[hybrid fox]

English is very redundant

[bright girder]

wait till you try speaking french

[shut niche]

My wife speaks French, I'll pass. I know the bad words, and that's good enough. 😛

[bright girder]

those are the best words

[hybrid fox]

I actually want to learn

Probs my next big undertaking

[shut niche]

BTW, in any new session, dalle will argue and often won't run your prompt verbatim on the first attempt. It's obnoxious. But on attempt #2 and beyond, it doesn't care. So I usually keep a running dalle session for running verbatim prompts, instead of opening a new one.
That's for when you bring your refined Bing prompt back over.

[hybrid fox]

idk if I ever rlly got what I wanted

but some of the bajillion generations I just went through turned out cool

[bright girder]

i feel like this one is way above the others

[shut niche]

FYI, there's a no blood policy. "G" only.

[bright girder]

yeah the famous " a horse is sleeping in a pond of strawberry juice"

[hybrid fox]

I specifically said in the prompt "no blood only red watercolor highlights"

😅

[hybrid fox]

What makes you think its superior out of curiosity

[bright girder]

🤷‍♂️

[hybrid fox]

I also kinda like this one

[bright girder]

i wish I could explain

[open trench]

Woo hoo. I finally came out of the penalty box and finished my project: https://discord.com/channels/974519864045756446/1187715219921850437

It took me several days to basically do the same project on Midjourney. With ChatGPT and Dalle3, I was able to do it in one night.

[hybrid fox]

@bright girder what abt this one better or worse

[bright girder]

a bit goofy ?

[late blade]

ok I'm back, just had lunch

so, we got.a new prompt? or everyon on their own?

[hybrid fox]

yah agreed

[shut niche]

I'm heading to bed in a sec, but I have a challenge for you. Make a treacherous Indiana Jones style staircase, with booby traps. Like pendulums, arrows/darts, fire, whatever. Dangerous, lol.

[hybrid fox]

poison arrow darts would be sick

[late blade]

challenge accepted

@shut niche in the mean time, here's another mechanical fairy for your consideration

[empty kelp]

Santa and the elves are roasting marshmallows on the surface of the moon. I’m testing to see if DALL-E can render the low gravity environment properly

[late blade]

@shut niche #daily-theme message for your consideration

[shut niche]

Don't hate on me, I'm not the biggest anime fan. I'm more into the weird sci-fi realism and other blended styles that you can create with this tech.

[hybrid fox]

I have a prompt idea

[late blade]

fair enough, let's give it a spin at that

[shut niche]

The staircase looks epic though.

[hybrid fox]

Make an illustrator whose drawing ink stick figures in magic ink and as they dry are coming to life on one side of the page in a fantasia-esque fashion

so like his stuff is coming out of the page

Im trying to get it to work like that but its not rlly doing it

[hybrid fox]

stargate vibes

[shut niche]

@late blade I'm probably too old for it, TBH, lol. I grew up in the 80's. My idea of anime are things like Heavy Metal, Akira, etc. I did watch Bleach with a roommate years ago. I liked Deathnote. So I guess I do like some of it, but it doesn't pull me in like other art does.

[hybrid fox]

Are you a ghost in the shell fan

[late blade]

I grew up with rotary phones...

[shut niche]

I had one in the house...

[late blade]

I love all kinds of anime

we need a collab about rotary phones

[hybrid fox]

ive only watched two anime things ever, ghost in the shell and your name

I hated your name but loved ghost in the shell

[late blade]

these are made from the api, just had to change the arguments from the terminal to turn off anime elements

@fading inlet is on strike today, I haven't seen cute staircases made out of yarn with wooly eyes today

[shut niche]

I like doing weird stuff like this, blending multiple styles, and genres, and making stuff that's "new" so to speak. Trying to push away from art I've seen elsewhere.

And stuff with emotion.

[late blade]

ok let me do one that resembles your style

[shut niche]

TBH, not being hyper critical. Not that I think I'm all that great to judge. But a lot of what's posted in here isn't my style, and is really bland for my personal tastes. I'd like to see more of the human condition, deep emotions, complex dynamics, things that make you think and push social boundaries. Furry kittens, dragons, and Rudolf variations don't do it for me. But I like the people here, and I'm trying to learn it like everyone else.

[late blade]

nah, it's just another idea to learn

[bright girder]

if it was up to me there would only be modern abstract art here

[shut niche]

I don't often see people attempt these kinds of complex emotions, and IMO, it's more important to art than furry creatures. But that's just my opinion.

Or push people to think.

[late blade]

ok this is the last one for @shut niche and I'm moving on with other stuff, see what else I can come up with

[open trench]

I feel the same way

[shut niche]

Apparently, FYI, don't use the word that refers to people with no clothes...?

[open trench]

But I still like projects like https://discord.com/channels/974519864045756446/1187715219921850437 from time to time

[shut niche]

I checked it out, looks great man.

[open trench]

Oooph. Thanks. It was so much fun until the penalty box interrupted it

[late blade]

#1154829862171844679 should have something like 5 top most active galleries of the day, to make people also engage in showing their stuff

[open trench]

It's super bland imo

[shut niche]

I think maybe the gallery works for some people. But I agree with picturesonpictures. I don't see people going back and forth and back and forth. It lacks the ease of use necessary to facilitate a good real-time conversation, sharing pics like we just did.

[late blade]

that is true, but it's also a problem 'cause here is not the place to post comentless bulk photos

[shut niche]

I rarely ever go into the gallery, and I'm just trying to be upfront and honest about it. There's soo many channels in this discord to click through.

[open trench]

Agreed. I want to share my anthropomorphiX pics and get real-time discussions

[late blade]

maybe a bulk channel would be needed for that

[open trench]

I think this channel should be appropriate for it.

[clever jungle]

I love how the background here matches almost perfectly the character's art style. the entire image come together really well

[late blade]

@open trench for discussing images yes, of coufrse, for posting endless comentless phhotos no

[clever jungle]

and absolutely

[open trench]

But that's only because I want to discuss my work with folks and learn about other people's

[shut niche]

I'm not suggesting it be removed, but I am suggesting the "talking point" restrictions of this channel not be such a hardline issue, or add a more 50/50 type of channel, where no one cares about spamming photos, or with a photo post time limit, etc., could work better. Or maybe a DallE GPT specific channel, since many of the images in here are from people testing their new GPTs, sharing, comparing, trading tips, etc.

[late blade]

just find a way to add more user engagement to the gallery

[open trench]

Too many channels will cause crickets in all of them

[shut niche]

I mean, IDK, I'm a member of over 100 different Discords. I've never dealt with such restrictions in any. Maybe it's just the ones I'm a member of, maybe it's luck, but somehow I doubt it...

[late blade]

i've been on very restrictive ones, this. one is really easy going

[shut niche]

Where are you hanging out, the official White House Discord? LOL

[late blade]

no lol, but some engineering and coding stuff, some other AI based channels, they like to keep things tidy

i don't mind posting photos if they are at least commented with a purpose or a prompt, but just posting photos randomly with no context, I just question what's the purpose

discord is very hard to help you read the other's minds

[open trench]

Speaking of. I had an interesting observation when I made my jean.... er red fox pictures. She was perfect until I added the background. Then, after adding a background, it was either the mask OR the hair

I'm just kidding btw. I like the people here too. I wouldn't want anyone to read this and take me the wrong way. But I just highly doubt there are that many children to consider in an AI Discord, and I haven't seen a need to enforce much.
Even the filter gave me a 5 min timeout for, I'm assuming, using the word that describes na \ k \d imgs that dalle renders... that's hyper sensitive IMO.

did you made a clear definition of the character in another prompt?

[open trench]

What do you mean?

Oh. Like a separate complete prompt with hair and mask without the background?

when using chat, before making images, i feed the exact characteristics of my character, from her looks, her traits, her personality, etc etc etc and assign it to a name, so everytime I want something with the image I just use the "name" and I want this image.

[open trench]

Oh. Okay.

That's cool

@open trench You can make "character cards" or "style cards". It's unofficial, but ChatGPT will understand your request, and make you instructions you can place in future prompts to recreate characters or styles.

[open trench]

No I did not

[open trench]

Wawhaaaat?

[shut niche]

Try it, you'll see what I mean.

Or, explain in more detail, and say that you want it to write instructions so a character or style can be replicated in any new session by any GPT. But in general, it works pretty well. I even layer them now, where I'll give it multiple, and combine them all into 1 image. "Blend these styles"

[open trench]

How? I don't understand.

It sounds amazing

As a holiday project I'm currently creating an AI metaverse with hundreds of planets. Next I am going to create life forms, structures and artefacts for the planets. There are some really cool planets coming out of it so far. I can't upload the video or link to it to show anyone here though (due to rules). I'm using Open AI Chat API for creation of solar systems, planets etc. and Dall E 3 to visualise it.

@open trench Did you tell chat GPT you want a style card for your character, so you can replicate your character in other sessions?
I save them in word or notepad. Copy/paste into the session your working in.

[open trench]

Ooooooooh

[shut niche]

Call it what you want, it'll understand the task. "Character card" "Style Card" "Custom instructions for..." etc.

[late blade]

that's just developer/coder thinking, which makes 100% sense for us

[shut niche]

Just explain that you want to be able to recreate that character, or recreate that style, whenever you want, and you want it to write instructions to itself, so that any GPT can repeat the process.

yay @fading inlet is back to cute!!!

Maybe I take it for granted. I'm also extremely ADHD, leaning autistic lol, so I have that going for me... 😛
