If you have a decent graphics cards (+ google colab subscription) this is a total blast.

The below is created using Google Neural Network, Text-to-graphics AI (more specifically Disco Diffusion 4.1)

It's seriously blowing my mind, started with it yesterday, so i will hopefully improve.

A sentence to the generator can look like this "a tilt shift photo of scifi trash robot vehicles, futuristic police cars and cyberpunk kids in a bladerunner-like city. Nimbus clouds overhead. skyscrapers=backdrop, Chinese shop in foreground. Hyper detailed, 8K3d, Nvidia" and there you go (in ~40 mins depending on resolution, graphics card, subscription type). It might not look like anything you imagined, but that's where the fun is too.

The art is also unique, even if someone else writes that exact sentence it will look nothing like your image. Heavy usage of Cthulhu, shark and cyberpunk in the images below Embarassed

This fucks with my mind. It looks really uncanny.


"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

It often is, it's fucked up. The closest thing some of the more uncanny stuff reminds me of is actually LSD or 2C-B Laughing it's like you're threading into something you shouldn't have access to or something, in this case the "mind" of the AI Laughing

The "toy" shark and strange "wagon" is especially similar to the comedown after LSD, if you try to sleep those types of complex, detailed, absolutely freakishly weird images haunts you for some hours.

the last image and the images with the shark are meant to be fucked up, the last one i used the prompt "Ethereal parametric structure in extraterrestrial forest" that will make things... weird..

Dang, this is quite cool.. takes quite a while to generate a result though. I got my first partial a few minutes ago and it looks like a giant demon/gojira bunny so far Laughing

Partial 1


Partial 2 and the rabbit turned into a mutated mega-goat.

yeah, you can make it generate faster by not using that many steps (im not sure what you're using), but keep the steps to something like 60 first, don't go to like 200 or so, you will see very little difference for most images anyways. also resolution is best to keep rather low, most people generate at 512 or so and then upscale it with AI (gigapixel is awesome for this).

that looks like it could become really cool. It's so fun to follow the generation. I've had ants turning into helicopters before my eyes, that was so cool, because i wondered why the hell it puts ants in the sky (photorealistic ants!), "because they make perfect helicopters, you stupid human!" okkkkk sure AI, you know best!

I used the default settings and it was set to 250 steps. Laughing

ur joking ? so logan paul uses some copy paste elephan on a bee body of pics found on the internet with fiver slaves and can mint that as nft , but u doing all the work n experimenting and u cant ? lol

I see this as someone just spashing paint all over and sees what sticks n looks good, how is this not copyrightable if u own all the originals its doing the AI stuff on?

I tried generating an image at 70 and then at 700 just to understand what i'm dealing with, there was very little difference. but for some images, yes it can make a difference, some things changes, like stuff in the far background can get other kinds of detail, that doesn't always mean better, just different.

It must get complex very fast with this law, yes, you can apply it to your own images too, but what i've generated here is from the AI itself which learns from other artists, very similar to how a human takes inspiration from something and tries to mimic it..

It sounds weird to me, and IRL, who could prove it's from an AI and not from you.. who can prove you didn't photoshop the images to an extreme extent (this would make it your work)..

They either copy the image, a hash of the image, some meta data which is created during the generation etc. or they embed a watermark intricately hidden by introducing them in every frame during generation. That way they can easily regenerate that image using algorithms that use the data they've saved from the generation process and compare it to a generated image. In case it has been heavily edited in Photoshop or similar tools they can probably find watermarks by analyzing software.

Easy startup (which I learned myself a couple of hours ago):

Make sure you have a Google Drive account.

Go to https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1sHfRn5Y0YKYKi1k-ifUSBFRNJ8_1sa39

Settings:
Replace the first value 'TimeToDisco' with any other name.

The second value called Steps decide how many interations the engine will do before ending. The higher the value the better the result will look but the time it takes to complete will also increase.

Below that you have the size of the image. Larger size means much longer time to complete. You can start experimenting with something like 400x400 or 512x512 so you don't have to wait forever.

Extra Settings:
Intermediate saves: settings this number to any number above 0 tells the engine how many times during the generation process it will save and/or show the work it's done so far.

SuperRes Sharpening:
Here you can decide if you want a soft and "dreamy" image or a sharp and clear image (also depends on your written text I think).

I set the sharpen preset to "Fast" if I want the engine to generate sharp results.

Go down to "Prompts". Just replace that text in orange with your own text.

In the top menu, click Runtime and in the submenu that opens, click Run All. If everything is okay it will start the generation process.

That's it to get started. I'm still figuring out how to write text that will give me a good result without being really weird.

I dunno what the internet and AI thinks of us here....
but this is what I got with just "HFOHump" as the prompt text.

That bottom part is.....interesting for that as the keyword. I wonder if it focused in on headshots sexy selections posts Razz

Thanks vurt, I've been meaning to try this out and this will be the perfect occasion - straight up looks like out of an acid trip like you wrote, it's quite fascinating really.

it's why i stated you should have a subscription, without that it's pretty useless imo because this is something you need to experiment with and do numerous tries before you are happy with something, i mean if you want to do ""serious"" images.
you can subscribe even if it tells you that you should be in US, just put in US zipcode, (there are ones that are better where you don't need to pay tax, google)

Waaaaaaaaaaay too expensive for me.

EDIT: Ooooh, I was looking at a completely different package that's aimed for professional work, not for something like Disco Diffusion. It's $9.99/month for the Google Collab Pro level (and a more hefty $49.99/month for Pro+).

its like 90 sek a month, i've been playing with this for at least 50h now after a few days only, more than most games. easily worth it, but not worth it if you're just gonna fuck around for perhaps 2h every month.

edit: i don't know what marketplace you checked, it's not what i pay, obviously, i just take a normal subscription, not the plus one.

Well, since it's possible to queue up batches I can set up a whole bunch of renders and let it run in the background. I need to explore more regarding settings as well as how to write the text in the best way to get what I want.

pretty sure you can't render in the background, that's the expensive ones that can do that. if i try to render over night i get logged out because of inactivity. i can't click render in background either.

@TheZor; yeah it it is! try it, you'll be amazed. my jaw has been on the floor a few times with this... Very Happy (missed your post)

v5 alpha it looks like
https://colab.research.google.com/github/Midgraph/disco-diffusion/blob/main/Disco_Diffusion_v5_Alpha_%5Bw_v_diffusion_models%5D.ipynb#scrollTo=CQVtY1Ixnqx4

i'll try that one..

init_image is fun to play around with. i put in a complex fractal i generated in another program, will be interesting to see how it uses that. it's also cool to use if you want to direct the AI to do something specif... if you are using a "house" prompt and you want to be sure that the house generated is in the middle, make a black box in the middle, it will turn it into a house. if you want humans to be generated below the house, draw human shapes (or google silhouettes). It's terrible at doing humans so giving it some help there is a must.

How are some of your pics so crisp and detailed vurt? Is there some setting you are using for that?
Even with 250 steps mine come out most the time like they was done in thin oil paint or something.
