If you've hung around our Discord at all, you've probably seen me and others talk about our fandom for Janelle Shane and her AI Weirdness blog where she takes machine learning and artificial intelligence software and illustrates how it works by making it do bizarre stuff. She did a post a few weeks ago about a machine-generated image producer called Pixray, which generates images based on text input using an AI trained on a bunch of photos from the internet - click through on the link if you are curious about how it works.

In short, you give Pixray a text prompt and it makes you an image that it thinks represents the prompt, in a few short minutes. So naturally I made it do some stuff related to Final Fantasy. Check out these ones I ended up with and see if you can guess what the prompts I gave were, tagged in spoilers. And then go make some too and share the best ones here so we can all be terrified. Or do some of the pixellated ones like in the AI Weirdness links, because I forgot to figure out how to do that. smile.gif

Edit
Link to the online tool I used - don't go to the trouble of installing the software! https://replicate.com/pixray/text2image

Hey, put the cellphone down for a while
In the night there is something wild
Can you hear it breathing?
And hey, put the laptop down for a while
In the night there is something wild
I feel it, it's leaving me

Why? That's not my face in the last one. Hate that.

Folks, I don't think that chocobo is okay. Do we need to get it to a vet or put it out of its suffering?

Honestly, I kind of thought you were being hyperbolic, and then I took some time to really look through them and yikes.

I didn't really pay much attention to the WIP states of all the ones I did, but it's great that you can see them in the tool if you're really using it for something other than just a laugh. smile.gif

Double post, sorry, because Phoenix just let me know in Discord that I never linked to the online version of the software - that crazy dude actually set up his own local copy.

If you want to play with basic Pixray, check this out instead: https://replicate.com/pixray/text2image
