As someone who deeply appreciates both art and technology, few things AI feel as satisfying as this project. Congrats on releasing and best of luck. I could totally imagine this being exhibited at a top tier museum.
It’s very interesting!
Does everyone get the same thought? It feels like it’s stuck in a bit of a loop around a Dutch chant around Jews because it can’t get an image to evoke the feeling… probably because it can seem racist. It seems to have got there by reading the news and seeing an article about the history of the chant.
I suppose this AI also goes for attention grabbing headlines!
Feels like eliza with a sprinkling of generative ai to add variation
Sorry if this sounds harsh but I find it kind of funny that you're lamenting a loss of uniqueness and meaning in human art while operating a system that is basically designed to create derivative work while stripping all context and meaning from its training data. I think your reasoning is backwards. Nothing is wrong with human art, the systems you based this on are just completely lacking in the emotions you're looking for.

That will dramatically increase the effectiveness of portraying the given vision for the virtual artist if they are using a prior model.
Awesome UI, just fun navigating around this thing.
I guess I don't get it? It keeps talking about things it is reading, and then about its feelings, and never makes an image. It's pretty repetitive There's also a pseudo-3D environment that I can slightly interact with, but not meaningfully. (A pixelly GIF and a speech box that I can tilt and zoom.) Am I just getting a broken version of the thing?
is this open source?
> human uniqueness is being eroded
Why does this bother so many people? The more we learn about life on our own tiny planet, and when you consider the size of the universe... certainly we're not very unique at all. So what? I don't think it should change anything.
I watched it produce a sketch and then proceed to criticize it for not meeting its expectations. While we waited for text to img it talked about feeling anxiety and then a range of other feelings. To me it felt like watching someone deeply engrossed in their work. I felt that when it paused I was worried that our technology is not reliable enough, and that being accustomed to a variety of technical issues with demos like this disturbed my appreciation of its performance.
I make art but not for financial gain so I am not perturbed. To me this is a much-deserved criticism of contemporary art and I believe art is too important for our wellbeing to be generated by an establishment or commercial interest. Ref. Rasa aesthetic
Humans are a part of evolution. Our breath is inseparable from the rustling of the leaves or the rays of the sun. AI has the potential to explore a different mode of being, being unique in a different way than we are.
