I think I overdid my AI experiment yesterday. So much so that even Pieter Levels retweeted it.
In a nutshell from this photo
I got this
without photoshop. And in seconds…
And that got out of hand
I'll explain what happened and how I did it!
I replaced my wife with AI
Yesterday, my wife and I went to an exhibition in Milan.
We sat down at a restaurant, and while we waited for lunch to be brought, we took a picture.
We are usually never happy with the result on the first try.
Let's say that on the fifth attempt we liked it. This:
I've been wanting to change my Twitter profile picture for a few days, but I’m too lazy: I didn't feel like making another 10 attempts to get another picture of myself.
So I thought I'd reuse ours that I just took!
Only problem is the off-center result, with one ear and shoulders cut off... But I had an idea.
As soon as I got home, I uploaded our photo to dall-e and with simple editing I got this:
AI has:
- replaced my wife
- added space behind me
- spawned me an ear and a shoulder
- he lifted my right arm sleeve :D
The steps I followed
To replace my wife (:D) I selected the editing function,
I deleted the shape to hide, and typed this prompt:
"replace the erased part".
To my amazement the AI reconstructed all the missing parts of the lady standing behind my wife! Look at here:
Dall-e has created an improbable jacket for her, but at first glance it's believable!
Create depth
To create depth in the image, and center my face,
I selected the "Add generation frame" function, and placed the frame to my right. So I typed this prompt:
"“show the boy in the foreground in another place”"
And I got this:
Finally I gave this other command:
“remove the people behind the boy in the foreground”.
I tested other funny variations with the "Generate Variations" function.
And strange things appeared :D
I just fell in love with AI.
