How to haunt and unhaunt a house

By Janelle Shane On October 08, 2021 - 3 min read

What do you get if you instruct an AI to turn a house into the most haunted house in the world? What if you ask it for the LEAST haunted house? How does an AI know what "haunted" looks like, anyways? I did some experiments with CLIP+VQGAN

Neural networks vs the Bake-off technical challenge

By Janelle Shane On October 01, 2021 - 4 min read

There's this baking competition I really like, and one of the elements in every show is what they call the Technical Challenge. In the Technical Challenge, Great British Bakeoff contestants have to bake something they may never have seen before, based solely on a brief description and a

Very normal grocery stores

I was reminded recently [https://twitter.com/HardSciFiMovies/status/1438945429878620163] that US grocery stores often have strange names. I grew up shopping at Big Bear and Giant Eagle and thought it was very normal for grocery stores to be named after megafauna. Given a list of real but strange grocery

One of my favorite things ever is when AI instructs people to do silly creative things, and the humans gamely play along. For a couple [https://www.aiweirdness.com/ainktober-a-neural-net-creates-drawing-19-09-26/] of Octobers [https://www.aiweirdness.com/628160900506025984/] now I've used various AI models to generate daily #botober drawing

Since OpenAI released CLIP, trained on internet pictures and their nearby text, people have been using it to generate images. In all these methods - CLIP+Dall-E [https://www.aiweirdness.com/the-drawings-of-dall-e/], CLIP+BigGAN [https://www.aiweirdness.com/searching-for-bernie/], CLIP+FFT [https://www.aiweirdness.com/lucid-deep-dreaming], CLIP+VQGAN [https://www.

In search of a unicorn cake

By Janelle Shane On August 27, 2021 - 4 min read

I've generated a lot of terrible unicorn cakes by this point. Last time I experimented with generating cakes [https://www.aiweirdness.com/ai-cake-fails/], using CLIP's internet training to guide a couple of image generating methods. Around the time I posted my experiments, RiversHaveWings, who developed one

The cake is covered in a sagging marshmallowy coating that might once have had sleek robotic curves.

AI cake fails

AI cake fails are unlike any cake fails I've seen before. What do you get when your cake is being generated by something that's seen lots of pictures labeled "cake" but has never had a cake or experienced physics? CLIP+VQGAN are two algorithms

You know those games that go around on platforms like Twitter, where people share pictures of themselves looking like the leader of an underground resistance, or search google images for their name + fantasy armor or somesuch? I assume that if you successfully start one of these games, fame and fortune
