from Diary 2022-10-13 The field of non-realistic painting has opened up.
@nishio: I saw someone recently making a cartoon using AI of realistâs comments when camera was born, but I didnât write it down. I couldnât find it anymore. Since we are witnessing the birth of a new area right now, this post reminded me that it would be useful later on to record what I see and hear now.

@HomeiMiyashita: When studying media history, it is quite difficult to imagine the impact of the birth of the camera on society, or the feelings of painters toward photographers. It is quite difficult to imagine the impact of the birth of the camera on society, or the feelings of painters toward photographers. But only now, in early October 2022, following the keyword âAI painterâ on Twitter may help us to imagine them.
@yurijinitai: I made a cartoon with Novel AI âI tried to find out if people felt the same way as AI does now when the picture was created.â #NovelAIDiffusionNovelAI

My story diverges from this panel in this one.
@nishio: my story diverges from the third of these where âthe field of non-photorealistic painting has opened upâ @nishio: what I found in Stable Diffusion was the ability to âmake paintings that are not realisticâ

This is one of my favorite recent births.
In fact, past experiments have generated many photographic-like pictures. The only reason why there are no such pictures in the projectâs image list is that we and our couples are rejecting them. We have only released 1,500 of the 40,000 pictures we have generated so far. Examples of rejected pictures (we never introduced them before)
I said, âIsnât this cat well drawn?â Wife: âIn a place where cute pictures and videos of real cats abound, generating a realistic picture of a cat will never beat the real thing.â I âSure thing.â That wife is the one who made the choice and 24 people like it on instagram.
Personally, I think the above is too subtle to be recognizable as a cat without being told it is a cat, so I prefer this one, even if they are the same âstrange creatureâ type. This one was even made into a book cover the other day.

@nishio: In the context of the history of art, âWhen the camera was born, people who liked the technology and were not realistic painters started to make photographic works by trial and error with the camera technology.

@nishio: âEngineers who understand whatâs inside of a cameraâ made a camera specialized for a certain field of art style. I think itâs fair to say that the target audience will be repulsed by the camera. On the other hand, even if I specify cubo-futurism, I still end up with a picture like this, which is less attractive to me.
With the original Stable Diffusion, you get a picture like this. In other words, by specializing in a particular area, the success rate in that area is increased, and the success rate in other areas is decreased (attracted to the target area).

@nishio: in other words, this is about me and my wifeâs âDefinition of goodâ not fitting the NovelAI Diffusion. I gave this kind of explanation the other day and someone asked, âDo you have to go that far to get a good picture?â I was asked, âDoes it depend on the definition of âgoodâ? Seed and prompt relationship for Stable Diffusion One aspect of art activities is to define âI think this is goodâ and present it to the world What Iâm doing is automating image generation and generating prompts through reinforcement learning, so to use a camera analogy, itâs like âthe camera will keep automatically releasing the shutter, and the camera will use its own judgment to compose itself by moving its head around, learning human preferences for which composition is bestâ. So the âI think this is goodâ search part was replaced by machine trial-and-error instead of human trial-and-error to speed up the process. In addition to that, I am a âsoftware engineerâ kind of artist, so I also âthink this is goodâ as a meta-artwork of âa system in which a machine automatically keeps creating pictures to my liking. So âcreating a network of meaning based on a set of pictures created by AIâ is another layer of artwork Art medium. I want to express âI think this is goodâ not as one concrete work âpointâ x, but as the âprobability distributionâ p(x) that generates it. Each piece is a point x1, x2,⊠sampled from p(x) Art as a probability distribution, not a point
