interestingly, the thumbnail gives it away immediately.

Feel like those cats are trying to tell me something.

Those kittens have been hanging out with these puppies.

These have to be AI generated right?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yep, has that signature AI image look.

It's that or some kind of next-level art project

What's the prompt to get this stuff done? This looks wild and interesting.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

I suspect these are using additional tools to guide the AI beyond a simple prompt. For example the spiraling medieval village was generated with stable diffusion and controlnet.

I think the prompt is not much other than "puppies" and "kittens". Major, middle and minor features of the image can be controlled individually in some AIs (they can be differentiated using a Fourier transform or Gauss convolutions and fed into different discriminators) so I think:

  • major features (scenery) are controlled by the prompt (grass or couch)
  • middle features (text) are a source image that the AI is punished for straying from
  • minor features (details) are controlled by the prompt (faces and fur)

Or it's just Stable Diffusion that starts with a text rather than random noise.

Stable Diffusion together with Controlnet. You basically feed it the text as a black and white image and provide it with a description of the picture of cats. It will then generate this output while using the black and white image as a base. It's fairly simple to do but it can take a while to get a quality result such as this one.

That sounds pretty complicated. I've just been plugging the text and description into this site: https://glif.app/@fab1an/glifs/clmqp99820001jn0f2xywz250

First off you need a mummy cat and a daddy cat

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wrapped in paper mummy or a parent mummy?

these images are so fascinating

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago (2 children)

These AI pictures look great until you zoom in. There's all sorts of funky stuff going on with the cats' faces.

Top row goes from horrifying to full derp.

Those are flower petals in the right spot to help form the letters.

Same, now I have something to reply my wife with, when she sends me smut memes, instead of just emojis like an idiot.

I seem to have a really hard time at these.

I couldn't get one of them without knowing what it should say.

What does it say? I can one or two letters

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (6 children)

"send nudes"

Try holding the phone (or computer screen) further away. That's what helps me.

Zoom out. The text is clearly visible in thumbnail.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

And this is how you find that you are colorblind.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

If you’re on mobile, tilt the phone away from you.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

On my phone if I tilt it so the screen is at an extreme angle I can see it. If I look straight on I find it hard to see.

I think the top left cat might be having a stronk

"Impressive. And I'm in a library, so no."

Keep up the good work.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Just let us know when you are not in the library.

The cats are cute and all, but why do I suddenly get the urge to tell you to watch "The Wolf of Wall Street"?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can't tell if I should make a Wolf of Wall Street joke or a Futurama joke.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

You should make both!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i'm kind of a cat too, so please do send me also

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Alright, but I've only got a couple bucks, so we're going to have to use the small fedex box. I hope you're flexible.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What is the stable diffusion prompt to make these
