DuffMan 516 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 So this is my second round of tests with Novel A.I. With my first tests I was just sort of shooting in the dark, without learning anything before hand, or changing any basic parameters like accuracy scaling, or style changes etc. I just sort of went in blind to see if it worked at all and tried various characters/locations as the only variety. I posted the first round of day 1 tests on Thursday, here's the link. Since then I learned enough so that there are some immediate improvements in general. Faces are less exaggerated, so they don't come out looking like chibi art all the time. Most of the pee gloopyness has been removed so urine looks a lot less like yellow semen. I also learned to do some varied styles, incorporating more realistic images, and also some old school cartoon/comic styles. And last (but not incorporated into most of these) I managed by the end to pull back a bit on the pee looking like a firehose all of the time. The one thing I couldn't completely crack was wetting the pants. I can get it better and more often now, but it remains the ultimate dice roll. Since this time I was mainly focused on learning how to do things and improve things, I was much less focused on model/location variety, and more on style/quality variety. So there are fewer characters here, but with more varied styles. Lara Croft just sort of became my test default so a lot is just her. Also there's about half as much here then in my first tests. This is because I was barely able to get half as much done/tested, because the Novel A.I. service fell off a cliff. Keep in mind, the image part of Novel A.I. was only launched on Oct 3rd, by the time I did my first test it was literally 10 days old. 2 days later it barely works at all. Apparently 2 things happened. First they got hacked and had to take most of their hardware offline (on the 8th, before Thursday when it worked well enough) for an investigation. Second, (and probably more importantly) they did not anticipate the flood of new accounts and users, and just can't keep up with the bandwidth. On Thursday it was a little slow and there were some disconnect errors, but it was totally usable. Yesterday it barely worked, and today it practically doesn't work at all. So that's pretty much where my second round of tests stop, because it's literally impossible right now. Oh well, here's what I got. I also posted them to the gallery if that makes browsing easier, link below. https://www.omorashi.org/profile/2305-duffman/?tab=node_gallery_gallery Hypergirl and KimAustad 1 1 Quote Link to comment
LifeIsStrange 1,003 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 very nice! I'll admit when I heard about A.I. art I was pretty skeptical but this is pretty impressive, it's too bad it got hacked but I can't say i'm surprised. If it ever does come back online or you find another A.I. art program would you consider taking requests? Cause i'd love to see what this thing would do for other female characters like Nani from Lilo and Stitch and Francine from American Dad. Quote Link to comment

You'd have to train the AI to understand that, and Novel AI doesn't have that yet. At best it just kinda makes characters clothes the same colors, unless their costumes are trained like mainline video game characters. Quote Link to comment

Sbones 118 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Great job, comrade. Shame I can't pay up for account from Russia. Quote Link to comment
Original Demon 124 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Having now looked at the images in both threads, I'm left with this impression. You know the old saw about a thousand monkeys with typewriters taking a thousand years to write Shakespeare? These images look like someone replaced the typewriters with Wacom tablets. I'm sorry to be so harsh, but the negative reaction I have to this stuff is visceral. A cut and paste job using 2D stock images and an app should at least not look like a cut and paste job, but these do, as if somebody created an Omorashi Image Production Line manned by robots. There are several artists in this forum posting much better artwork that looks like human beings actually put love and care into the projects. The postings here give no such impression. Someone in the previous thread mentioned "the Uncanny Valley." It's worse than that. These are just soulless. DrenkTooMuch 1 Quote Link to comment
Ranpalan 496 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 I think this has got a long way to go from matching what artists can produce, but at the same time, I wouldn't have believed an AI made these if you told me that five years ago. Thank you for giving it a go! My impression is that the main difficulty it has is the pee. If you have time, maybe you could check whether results for desperation are better? I'm sure many of us wouldn't mind a thisbathroomqueuedoesnotexist website existing one day... Quote Link to comment

Honestly my advice would be to take a shot yourself, (it isn't rocket science) but first wait until it's working. Novel A.I. did not have the infrastructure needed to be ready for prime time. Either wait for a competitor to show up, or for Dalle and/or DreamStudio to get over their censorship/privacy issues. Either way, there will be about 5-10 more of these in the next year. Half of them will probably be using stolen code too, (maybe even the recent Novel A.I. code that got hacked) but either way it'll drive competition to get services that actually work, and without arbitrary censorship. All you gotta do is give capitalism about 2 minutes... Edited October 15, 2022 by DuffMan (see edit history) Quote Link to comment
Alex62 1,481 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Well done! This type of artwork isn’t necessarily what I would have gone looking for but it’s really well done. Quote Link to comment
bestrapperalive 183 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Interesting stuff to keep an eye on 🙃 Quote Link to comment
thomascromwell 143 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 can you do it with Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars Clone Wars? Quote Link to comment

I don't know if Novel A.I. would know that character enough unless you trained it. If you typed it in it would probably give someone orange clothes and/or skin. Can't even try now cause the site is down. thomascromwell 1 Quote Link to comment
