Three months ago I decided I wanted to look into the possibilities of using
artificial intelligence to create artwork. I'd been reading for months that AI
can create art that's of such high quality that people can be fooled into
believing that it was drawn by a real person. Three months ago I was confused
by the possibilities, so I abandoned it. Last night my grandson went to bed
earlier than expected, so I sat down to play around with Stable Diffusion. The
results were amazing. Within an hour I generated four pictures (the following
four pictures). After that I made another 51 pictures. Actually I made more,
but I deleted the ones that I didn't like.
Why have I created photos of Japanese schoolgirls instead of beautiful sunsets
or abstract science fiction scenes? Anybody who asks that question obviously
doesn't know me.
As I said above, I created 55 works of art. Based on the timestamps of the
images, that took me three hours. I was hooked. I could have stayed awake all
night, but common sense prevailed.
The technology isn't yet perfect. Some of the pictures were duds. There were
pictures in which girls had three arms or distorted faces. There were even
nude pictures in which girls had nipples on their elbows. I tried in vain to
create a picture of two girls kissing. That seems to be beyond the
capabilities of the AI software so far. In some pictures the shadows were
wrong.
In this post I'll publish my 20 favourite pictures. Please examine them and
tell me what you think. They're the result of less than three hours of
experimenting. Future attempts will hopefully yield better results. I want to
find someone who has more experience with Stable Diffusion to give me tips on
what to do next.
It seems to be the same girl in every picture, except for the last picture. It
stands out from the rest. The girl looks younger. I can't remember what
parameters I gave the program. I must have done something different.
I'll try again in a few days. Maybe I'll create better works of art. Maybe
they'll be the same level. Wait and see.
