An AI-generated advent calendar

In the spirit of utter holiday weirdness, I have made an interactive AI-generated advent calendar!

Image descriptions by GPT-3, illustrations by Pixray.

The calendar itself, and descriptions of all the images behind the doors, are at the link above. This is a still screenshot showing "AI Weirdness Advent Calendar 2021" and some of the closed doors.

#neural networks #pixray #holiday season #pixel graphics #it doesnt work on tumblr #but should work at the link #i wont tell if you open all the doors early #i mean who would i tell anyways #gpt-3 still thinks its october 2019

So I’ve been experimenting with Pixray Swirl, which was originally a mod of Pixray that would let you generate swirling pixel art according to an internet-trained neural net’s interpretations of your requests.

I found parameters that let me take epic journeys instead.

Here’s “Apocalyptic landscape by Lisa Frank”

A landscape with burnt-out towers, burnt-out houses, and flames. The color palette is pastel, there are rainbows everywhere, and huge purple quadrupeds stalk the landscape among the occasional skull.

And “Straight trail leading into a jelly landscape made of jello”

A vivid green and red landscape with wobbly jelly-like bushes and a straight trail leading into the horizon between brown mountains. The camera immediately veers away from the road and into the mountains, which have lots more jelly formations and, eventually, a giant jam jar.

(it is kind of hard to steer, and the AI totally disregards any information in the image itself like a path, in favor of zooming in on the exact coordinate you specify.)

I like this one, “The misty volcanoes of dinosaur country”
