AI Images Titled ‘Boring America Photorealism’ Goes Viral on Reddit

Here's a quote from the source site...

A photographer and artist created a set of “boring” AI images depicting unremarkable scenes that would be “quickly scrolled past on Facebook.”

John Kelly set out to create AI images that look more like basic phone photos than the polished, professional-looking AI images more commonly generated.

Using Midjourney, Kelly typed in prompts like “posted on Reddit” and “cheap camera” to get the images to be more casual and unfiltered.

“I want to display these ‘boring’ images due to this eerie sense of humanity they give off that I had not felt with the other AI-created images,” Kelly explains to PetaPixel.

“What got me to that point was how the AI image tools are prone by default to making very dramatic stylized images.”

“I was getting tired of seeing them and set out to focus on making unremarkable photos. The type that would be quickly scrolled past on Facebook without much thought in the world,” he continues.

“When Midjourney’s v5 was released and everyone was trying to make professional looking photos, I was trying to make ugly pictures of food.”

Kelly’s fake images of boring America have captured Reddit’s imagination where his post received 12,000 upvotes.

As AI porn generators get better, the stakes get higher

Image
 Here's a quote from the sources site... Porn generators have improved while the ethics around them become stickier A s generative AI enters   the mainstream, so, too, does AI-generated porn. And like its more respectable sibling, it’s improving. When TechCrunch  covered  efforts to create AI porn generators nearly a year ago, the apps were nascent and relatively few and far between. And the results weren’t what anyone would call “good.” The apps and the AI models underpinning them struggled to understand the nuances of anatomy, often generating physically bizarre subjects that wouldn’t be out of place in a Cronenberg film. People in the synthetic porn had extra limbs or a nipple where their nose should be, among other disconcerting, fleshy contortions. Fast-forward to today, and a search for “AI porn generator” turns up dozens of results across the web — many of which are free to use. As for the images, while they aren’t perfect, some could well be mistaken for prof...

Stability AI Team Introduces FreeWilly1 and FreeWilly2: New Open Access Large Language Models (LLMs)

Image
 Here's a quote from the source site... FreeWilly1 and its successor FreeWilly2 are powerful new open-source Large Language Models (LLMs) developed by Stability AI’s CarperAI team. Both models perform exceptionally well in reasoning competitions using many different metrics. Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) in the industry-standard Alpaca format was used to fine-tune the FreeWilly1 model, built on top of the original LLaMA 65B foundation model. FreeWilly2 uses the LLaMA 2 70B base model to achieve performance on par with GPT-3.5 on some tasks. We are live! The "Ai For Creative Expression" Course is now available at  https://aiart.getlearnworlds.com/  for anyone to create incredible artistic works like this The FreeWilly models’ training was heavily influenced by Microsoft’s ground-breaking approach, described in the article “Orca: Progressive Learning from Complex Explanation Traces of GPT-4.” The team prompted language models with high-quality instructions to generate our co...
