AI imagines my cat in costumes

I don't dress my cat in costumes because, without even trying, I know she would hate that. But now I can use text-to-image generators like DALL-E2 to imagine what she would look like in costumes. After all, even if it never saw my cat in a robot costume
I'm dressing as a vampire for Halloween! More impressive:I shall be displaying my vampiric prowesses at a Halloween carnaval

How to improve your Halloween costume

I've amused myself before [https://www.aiweirdness.com/this-is-the-openai-api-it-makes-spookily-20-06-11/] by getting GPT-3 to change one kind of text into another. With just a few style-change examples, I got it to change the Winnie the Pooh theme song [https://kids.niehs.nih.gov/games/songs/movies/winnie-the-pooh-theme/index.htm]

I’ve used neural networks to generate Halloween costumes in the past, but the early ones struggled with their complete lack of context for the training data. Why is Statue of Liberty a plausible costume yet Statue of Pizza isn’t [https://aiweirdness.com/post/166814009412/a-neural-network-designs-halloween-costumes] ? Those neural networks,

In my opinion, one of the best applications of neural networks is for generating Halloween costumes. Thanks to a dataset of over 7,100 costumes crowdsourced from readers of this blog, I’ve been able to generate Halloween costumes with progressively more powerful neural networks. In 2017, I used char-rnn

People use neural networks for translating languages, recommending movies, delivering ads, and more, but this here is one of my favorite applications: utter surrealism. Last year [http://aiweirdness.com/post/166814009412/a-neural-network-designs-halloween-costumes] I trained a neural network on 4,500 Halloween costumes that you readers helped me collect. This year,

There’s a kind of neural network that learns to imitate whatever text you give it, whether that’s recipes [http://aiweirdness.com/tagged/recipes], song lyrics [http://aiweirdness.com/post/167596678562/disney-songs-sung-by-a-neural-network-with-a-very] , or even the names of guinea pigs [http://aiweirdness.com/post/162263942282/more-neural-network-guinea-pig-names]. Their imitations are often

It’s hard to come up with ideas for Halloween costumes, especially when it seems like all the good ones are taken. And don’t you hate showing up at a party only to discover that there’s *another* pajama cardinalfish? I train neural networks, a type of machine learning
