Botober 2022 neural net generated art prompts: animals! Including Kiwifish, Clam Cat, and Golden forearmadillo

Botober 2022: draw, human, draw!

For a couple [https://www.aiweirdness.com/botober2021/] of [https://www.aiweirdness.com/628160900506025984/] years [https://www.aiweirdness.com/ainktober-a-neural-net-creates-drawing-19-09-26/] now I've been using neural networks to generate daily drawing prompts. With today's text-generating neural networks far too large to finetune on a list of existing

AI explains human quirks

Humans are weird. The question is, do AI training datasets capture the full scope of our weirdness? I decided to see if GPT-3 could successfully predict other human quirks when prompted with a short list of them. Here's what I gave GPT-3 DaVinci to complete: > Human things

AI recreates classic cereals

DALL-E 2 is very good at generating images to match text descriptions but I felt like using DALL-E 2 to mess up some brands. Here's breakfast cereals! "A box of lucky charms cereal on a grocery store shelf""A box of Froot Loops on a

How to disappear a platypus

I was testing DALL-E 2 to see if it would be subject to some common incorrect assumptions about the sizes of things. For example if you asked people what size a kiwi bird is, they tend to assume it's a smallish bird, maybe around the size of a

New AI-generated horsies

Recently I've been experimenting with DALL-E 2, one of the models that uses CLIP to generate images from my text descriptions. It was trained on internet text and images, so there's a lot it can do, and a lot of ways it can remix the stuff
