Theme and variations 012123
DALL-E takes a text prompt and generates images based on the AI’s interpretation of that prompt. Having obtained such an image, DALL-E can then create further variations on it, but prompting is no longer...

Some favorite generations 011923
I make a lot of generations and they can be quite different from each other. Here are a few of my favorite recent ones. As in my post “Making vignettes”, most are created from...
AI Vignette for 011723
As with the vignettes created for my book, “AI Vignettes: Chimeras, Wraiths and more”, vignettes for my blog will comprise two components: The first is an image generated by a minimal text prompt to...

Neural networks hiding in waterfalls
As discussed in my blog “Creating AI self-portraits”, a generative neural network can be usefully visualized as a flow of connections cascading through layers of neurons. Below are some such visualizations to give a...
Creating AI self-portraits
Historically our only image creating entities have been human artists, and their efforts have contributed greatly to our cultural evolution. We now find ourselves at an inflection point where generative AIs such as DALL-E,...
Varying interpretations of prompt actors
As noted in my blog “Making vignettes”, I deliberately chose rather abstract and poorly defined actors for my prompts, with the intent of letting the AIs interpret them in a relatively unimpeded way. The...
Making vignettes
My current interest in generative AI lies mostly with the ways these deep neural networks interpret and represent the concepts generated by their text prompt inputs. Standard “prompt engineering” practice is to tailor these...
