This wonderful looking landscape was generated entirely in Artbreeder. I searched for Artbreeder because @emptyintentions was kind enough to ask me in the comments of another post of mine whether I had used it. I had not and here I am after using it. Thanks for the heads up!
I also used it to play around with some portraits and I was able to generate these beautiful portraits:
EDIT : I deleted one of the portraits which I mistakenly thought I had generated but was in fact generated by another user and I had just modified it a little. My artbreeder profile is atv8802.
What we can do here is play around with properties known as genes and add some randomness (called chaos on the site) and we can create landscapes, portraits, creatures and what not by using AI.
This website also uses a GAN - Generative adversarial network, the same machine learning program used by VQGAN... More info can be found here.
I got into AI art mainly because I was amazed by what others were creating using AI and I could't even draw a straight line properly. The technology seems more and more interesting the more I read about it. My experiments will continue for sure!
Here are a few of my mishaps with VQGAN + CLIP :
I will continue to explore this space more but am looking to get back to more traditional art (can't believe the times we are in, when I have to call 3D sculpts and 2D digital art as traditional) when I can pull myself away from this mysterious mind of AI! See you in the next one.
Cool to see more people using it! You can come up with some really surreal images. Artbreeder is what was used to make that image that went viral for showing how people see the world after having a stroke.
In the beginning, it was confusing to use, once I understood how it works, it seems quite simple to use. Thanks for the follow and info :)
All of these are amazing, I need to try it...
Yeah, give it a try!
I did! Weird things happened XD
I am curious to see the results :)
So far I have only tried portraits, putting features of different races and I do not know why they look like me...
Some of the results were very strange and some were pleasant. Here is one of the ones I liked:
Looks beautiful:) if you didn’t tell that it is AI generated, people would assume it is a photograph.
Regarding the portraits looking like you, I think subconsciously, we try to steer towards a face we know best and whose face would you know best?
Exactly! The results are amazing and so realistic. The fact that she looks a little bit like me I think (now) is because I added a mix of different racial features that actually are similar to mine. 🙂 Which are basically a little bit of everything 👌
oh what a beautiful job :D , really awesome thanks for sharing them.
Thank you so much :)
