In this video, I explain how #aiart generators like #midjourney and #stablediffusion can be used to simulate evolutionary processes, and explain why this is important and valuable as an exploration algorithm. I also show very good pictures of orangutans, which is perhaps the most important part of the video. Please comment “orangutan good” if you read this, it is a sign of unwavering loyalty.

Correction: There are 256 possible pixel values (0-255, zero included), so the image space calculation is wrong. It is actually LARGER than the number shown on screen 🤯
Thieves.
Wow, just blown away!
being a graphic designer this is something so amazing and great! Creating abstract image in matter of mins which didn't ever exist in reality is just mind blowing!
Literally!
I was so eager to explore that I used up my trial verson before I could realise it. Thank you so much for this.
And, I can't afford pay so much for a subscription. I wish there will be more such AIs in future which will make a transformation in our perception
Glad to know I'm not the onlyone who thinks of V-Rolling as evolving an image. I've done some crazy things exploring different branches.
Thanks for the reminder to take pauses to be thankful for these new islands of creativity, and the maturing tools to seek them and foster them. Maybe I'll try to play with some good orangutans on the way.
Its amazing how quickly I got bored of AI art.
Wow…this is a….nightmarish monster breeder…cool
I didn't expect Trump's invasion here.
This video is useful and very good quality! thanks~~♡♡
orangutan good
and ty for the epick vid
You should see mine bro – Your eyes would pop out
Stability AI has helped me create realistic images of people that look like photos. Midjourney cannot do what Dreamstudio can as you know
As an artist who draws characters I'm amazed by possibilities how this neural network can inspire us to create unique designs. ✨️
You can't create something new from nothing, you have to take pre existed things and mix them in different amounts.
I should definitely buy subscription to mid journey.
BTW it kinda scares me how this ai imagination process in real time looks so similar to person's
I wonder where it will lead us and what will become of human artists in the future 🤔
im blown away.
Fabulous
Very interesting approach. But I still think it's weird to be pushed by technology to change our relationship with art activities. A "cold concurrence" is emerging with AI, first destroying the external value of art, and secondly, its intimate value. Art is not only about producing "things", but mostly about living differently through dedication, innervision, meditation (and many other feelings, of course, depending on each sensibility). AI art production is only a production, isn't it ?
It's quite fun, I guess, to find a creative way through these new tools, and meditate about all these subtile variations, but, in my feeling, it's like we were all pushed in a train and forced to go blindly… somewhere. I'd rather see the train stop and get out ! I feel lost with AI production, or only "intellectually" interested. I don't feel the purpose and the depth. I miss this.
Orangutan good
This shit is evil. Also these machines were trained using images of real artists who did not consent to this.

It´s amazing.
beautiful video
this video is stellar. Very well conceived and executed
As a professional musician and jazz improviser I am extremely intrigued by this. I wonder if the same AI can generate pieces of music in the same manner? I hope so.
Ever since I was a kid I thirsted for musical knowledge and maybe a machine learning AI like this could help. Just imagine generating complex music that had never been created before I mean sure a few humans have and are doing it but we're talkin' AI, instantly generating beautiful complex music with intricate melodies and beautiful harmonic palletes
You mentioned discovering image space and that each image was simply a resolution (for example 1200×1200 pixels) each pixel having an RGB value.
Maybe the same AI can discover music space? (say if we use the 12 tone equal temperament system, ei there are many tonal systems we could use, hell we could make up our own)
But the thing about this AI is that images are extremely relatable the human eye is much more advanced than the human ear meaning that you and I know what a cat, chair, or a creepy clown looks like and therefore we can easily train an AI (based on the labels we humans use) to simply learn this.
However with music I'm not sure how I would do this, I guess we would have millions of audio clips of things that we associate words with but that would also include non musical things. kinda like how we humans perceive the difference between an image and art we would do the same for sound and music.
I have it! maybe we take any frequency between 20hz to 20,000hz and… nevermind I dunno I'm just spitballin' here.
If you watch West World series, you will notice non of the software engineers is coder, they just move panels around on the tablets, it look like the primitive accumulation of coding has been done and anyone can be a software engineer. Maybe that's the future for programmers too.
I realise this is off topic, but it applies to all people 🙃
Do you support the Creative Society?
Thank you for sharing this- so cool.
That explanation of image space at 9:00 really drive the point home. Well done.
you scared me with this tecnology. Avator movie must hire you for their new characters.
Love your work.
Love from Afghanistan.
Maybe actually learn how to draw instead of using ai that steals?
I was thinking of creating a AI generated art magazine.
Shout out to Kosmic 🔥
Hindi main channel banva do phir program banva do phir sara desh👌 following👌 karega
あかんわ、AI強いわ。
俺の仕事もいい加減AIくんやってくれよ。
Nice channel. As a webDev I m looking for career change and something fun rather just salary
what is the pupose of artists now?
I didn't see a cat there.
i think its fine that people are exploring this, buit i dont think its fine if random people start making money in place of artists…
This is a fantastic jumping off point to so many interesting ideas and insights.
Never stop doing your best just because someone doesn’t give you credit.
Orangutan good. With increasingly powerful generative search engines for images, code, stories, prose, music, movies — idealized thoughts yielding ever more fine-tuned and sophisticated, asymptotically indistinguishable approximations of experience itself — what happens next (Ω) is up to you …
ok
eso ya existia, se llamaba imaginacion
Well done
Can it do technical writing
This is such a cool experiment! You should do this again. Or more.
shame these ai are using stolen artwork from major artists to fuel it's process. instead of idk paying them for the use of their art or using public domain art. they straight up ignored peoples copy right and put it into the databases anyways.
Very interesting video. I wonder what results you would expect if you performed PCA on the latent space. By arranging the transformed latent vector from most significant to least significant, you could see what "features" contribute the most to the output picture.
orangutan good
AI image generators are like Toddlers where someone filled their brain with the knowledge of millions of artists but without their experience. One has to wonder where this toddler will be once it's grown up.
And now keep in mind that this Toddler can be "trained" for a lot of professions out there.
Amazing
Wow, the discord is no longer there…
orangutan good
Wow! Awesome ass video!
that is not right because a single human body is 1 x 10/27 (27 zeros) atoms. each. there is 8 milliard 9 zeros (american billion) people on earth now.
earth is supposidly 1 x 10/50 (50 zeros) atoms. doesn't make sense that as the planet is obviously more than twice the size of a human.
In ai u gotta start wirh genes at first then with atom after
Officially mind-boggling.
one big business that dont even support real artist
thats AI art in a nutshell core
Call me when you have 1 billion phi-like values from the other prime families to apply for creating fractals.
JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY, TURN YOUR LIFE TO HIM!!!!
AI s0-called art work is soulless …. but the monkeys will love it.
As a computer designer on my own i'm happy to see the same routines at work like for every creative process: select one for further development and dismiss the others (maybe for later). All of a sudden there's a new impuls and you feel the urge of a slightly different approach. Often mistakes lead to different ideas, sometimes good ones, sometimes bad ones. But you have to make the choice. That's how creativity works, even evolution. If our minds could only think propper working things, ideas would be limited. The ability of thinking impossible or wrong things is letting us imagine the whole universe on a nutshell though it is not possible to ever reach those boundaries. The same still happens here.
Facinating . . . Discussion .
What If . . . Instead of a 2D Plane with 3 Color Channels . . . . A Cube was Utilized with Smaller Cubes .
An Additional Option for Transparency between 0 to 100 in 1 Increments. . . Could Enable Interesting Results .
Another Possible Option :
Utilize a Flat Plane with 100 Cubes of Depth . . . . and, Have the Options for Transparency 1 to 100 . . . Or, Simply Visible or Non-Visible .
Okay . . . Talk Later .
Hits so hard
* Whatever you can't imagine, it can imagine
Nice images for new nightmares.
Nice! Great idea with the evolution of images! I have access to Dall-e2, but yeah Stable diffusion should be similar. So far, I've only generated images from my prompts, haven't used the function of editing images and getting different versions…
What about to have your personal ai who try to guess what imagine you choose and ask you why you choose this one, and you explain why a text and maybe some selection in the image .
Не эволюция ИИ, а компиляция изображений от ИИ. Ёбаный кликбайт!
When is the Butlerian jihad??
By your own words you have admitted that 'evolution' cannot happen without the NEED of an Intelligent Designer.
One of the most inspiring videos I have seen. Thought provoking and enticing exploration. Thanks!!!!
Yes, I think I much prefer Imagespace Explorer to AI Artist as a label.
Orangutan good
This is an excellent video making a complex situation understandable. Thank you for sharing this information. It was very informative.
AI is wild!
orangutan good
So at one point in both main trees, the organism becomes very familiar to humans then gradually evolves from that to almost something brain like shedding limbs. No idea what that means but very interesting.
This man explaining the babel library like it isn’t the backrooms.
it's just SUPER- surreal; the unimaginal universe.
You should check out William Latham, evolutionary art from the early 1990’s.
Is there something like this that generates stories instead of images?
Physical attribute = brains
Psychological attribute = read brains
… … attributes of various living things and inanimate objects
Reasonable bounds limiters
Choose attributes sets and subsets
Form groups. Generate groups.
Second pass
this just broke my mind
I tried this. Amaaaaaaaazing!
So basically makes everyone an "artist"! Here's the deal you're not the artist the AI is! Sorry, that's just the way it is. You don't have any idea what the results are going to be, it's just being hopeful it makes something interesting and you're going with that. If I told you to use your imagination and actually draw these sets either on paper or digitally you wouldn't have the slightest idea of how to create them or where to start!
The early years of 2000 I was watching animal documentaries… 20 odd years later, I'm watching an AI documentary. Dsang!!
4:57 I nearly spit my coffee when the picture of your gpu popped up. RIP little gpu. LOL That leaf bug is amazing! If I knew more about how to use discord I'd love to come play (and if midjourney was free lol). I've been playing quite a bit with Dream by WOMBO. Glad i found your channel.
The act of consuming art is very different from the act of creating art. Your imagination doesn't expand when you consume art it only expands when you use it and A.I is using it for us. Prompt people just type styles like : cyberpunk, scifi and Giger then they type sword – they get a sword that is a banal mixture of those combinations. you didn't imagine anything and now you get to consume the results. be mindful not to spread misleading philosophies that make people less creative
I feel like this year's Reddit April Fools joke could be inspired from machine learning AIs. Possibly a canvas of starting images which anyone can evolve a number of times per minute, like how in r/place people could modify a pixel every 5-20 minutes. Then again, there'd probably be a lot of dicks :/
"orangutan good"
They are not neural networks at all stop lying to yourselves
Where can I find it Online???
pretty good
Let’s go a step further and collect all human prompts with acceptance rates and create a model to transform human prompts into ML-generated prompts with highest propensity scores for human acceptance of the output images. 😅
Bro our mind is evolving simultaneously as we dig deeper and deeper into what AI can help our minds generate. I’m no-longer the same exact being as I once was before AI 😏 great vid by the way. I use only free AI Art generators.
THIS is exactly the kind of explanation I was looking for, and trust me I've seen some. Great job, thank you!
Brilliant!
Black magic. And it WILL backfire on those that feed it.
