A Time Of Giving
Merry Chris-mas to all…
… and a happy Kiwi!
Or, in the words of Henry The Red, “Thank you, generous hosts!”
Happy Accidents
What I asked for (madlibs-style):
[boilerplate]. A pin-up photo of a pretty teen girl, [female-hairstyle], [sexy-pose], with a [positive-mood] expression, wearing from 2-5 [lingerie], at [famous-place]. [framing-light], [camera]
Negative: pregnant, frame, cropped, [negatives]
What that expanded to:
4k, breathtaking, crisp, gorgeous, high budget, highly detailed, intricate, professional, ultra textured. A pin-up photo of a pretty teen girl, Soft chignon, neatly tucked at the nape of the neck, Lying on side, elbow bent, hand supporting head, elegant silhouette formed, with a grateful expression, wearing compression shorts, bow-front bikini and camisole set, lace-up bodysuit, striped panties, at Scottish Highlands, Scotland. Harsh midday lighting, wide angle, scattered elements, vibrant contrast, dynamic shadows., Eye-level angle (from behind) view medium Close shot (focus on feet).
Negative: pregnant, frame, cropped. bad anatomy, bad proportions, banner, censored, collage, cropped, deformed, disconnected limbs, disfigured, duplicate, error, extra arms, extra digits, extra hands, extra limbs, fused fingers, grainy, gross proportions, logo, long neck, low contrast, low quality, low resolution, malformed limbs, missing arms, missing fingers, multiple panel, mutated, mutated hands, mutated limbs, out of focus, oversaturated, poorly drawn eyes, poorly drawn face, poorly drawn hands, signature, split frame, split screen, text, ugly, ugly, unreal, username, watermark, worst quality.
What I got:
“This doesn’t look like the Lincoln Tunnel, Sam.”
Also not a close-up foot shot in harsh midday lighting in the Scottish Highlands. And I didn’t even ask for an army; they must have been assembled from “silhouette”, “scattered elements” and “dynamic shadows”.
How to think about generative AI
You are the pilot of a ship capable of traveling the multiverse. The cockpit contains thousands of unlabeled buttons, switches, dials, and sliders. Think Tardis, but taken to 11.
You may adjust any number of controls before hitting The Big Red Button, and then you will be transported to a completely different universe, where anything can happen.
With me so far? Good.
Order matters. As you adjust each control, your destination in the multiverse shifts, so that each additional control you adjust applies its effect from a different starting point. Turn a dial too far in one direction, and your destination could be so far from home that slugs are the dominant species on Earth, and you can’t get back by pressing three green buttons and toggling a switch.
Still here? Awesome.
Here comes the real fun: each control on your board is actually wired up to ten thousand completely independent engines, all of which impact your destination in some way, big or small. In the first engine, that dial setting puts slugs in charge, but in engine #751, it puts giant breasts on cats. Not catgirls, cats.
By your side is a quirky robot with tentacles. Its job is to convert your spoken orders into control adjustments, but it doesn’t fully understand human language, has a dim grasp of each control’s effect, and guesses to resolve ambiguity. Because it has received contradictory orders from its makers, at random intervals it goes insane and assaults you with the tentacles; it never remembers these episodes.
(I let DALL-E handle this one, because I’m busy cleaning, baking, and wrapping presents for Christmas dinner tomorrow)
After the jump, a not-so-Christmas NSFW Miracle!
The Gallery of Imaginary Cheesecake
As I mentioned earlier today in a comment, I’ve been tinkering with a MadLibs prompt to generate happysexypics of a sort no longer really widely available outside of Japan, and becoming less common there as implants and nearly-fucking photos become more wide-spread (coughcough), despite the censorship.
Here’s a batch representing about 5% of the raw take from the session. The 95% pruning included trying out multiple base models, as well as the inevitable fused limbs, extra fingers, and watermarks proving the dataset included tons of copyrighted images.
(no cheesecakes were tentacled in the making of this gallery)
(there’s at least one extra toe in there, a broken foot, and I just spotted a thumb on the wrong side, but who’s going to object?)
