If you are interested in the future of #AI-generated content and #stablediffusion, this interview with @EMostaque contains so many clues on what the future might look like. Must watch: https://t.co/fvlePFBi8M

RT @EMostaque: Still wonder why folk don’t believe me when I tell them we will be real time on generative media creation in a few years, ch…

3/ But what if we want to teach the #AI model a concept, a style, a subject, or a person that it doesn’t know anything about? Today is not possible with #dalle2. https://t.co/VOjVYgVcbo

2/ That #AI model allowed me to reproduce the style of specific painters I love and apply it to subjects that those painters have never painted. And all from a single sentence in plain English. No Photoshop or other editors have been used. https://t.co/5Sss0lTn6t

1/ Ready to see the future? 🧵
In the last few weeks, you have seen me publishing original artworks generated with an #AI model called Dall-E 2, released by @OpenAI. https://t.co/yg9osComFS

4/ but it’s possible with an open #AI model called Stable Diffusion released by @StabilityAI and a new fine-tuning technique developed by @Google called DreamBooth.

That’s what I did with these images. I taught my #stablediffusion model the concept of “Alessandro”. https://t.co/IkghNFTwkK

5/ I always wanted to be part of the USS Enterprise in Star Trek The Next Generation. I was wondering how I would look like as a Pixar character. I’d love to be in a Tim Burton picture (as an actor or as a stop-motion puppet). And I think Minority Report is a visionary movie. https://t.co/rkRZDNBeuy

9/ Why does all of this matter?

I know that many of you think this is just a gimmick. But you are really looking at the future of media creation and human entertainment. And, possibly, at how the #metaverse will actually look like.

6/ So I asked the #stablediffusion model, fine-tuned via #dreambooth, to represent me in those situations.

These pictures are not even great. Training the #AI model is the easy part…

7/ Then, it takes an enormous amount of time to find the right sentence to explain what you want the #AI model to do. It took me days to just scratch the surface. AI communities call it “prompt engineering” and, despite the silly name, it’s a real thing & it’s exceptionally hard.
