I’ve opened it on 2 devices and showed 2 different numbers. So either the counter is fake, or there is a load balancer issue :)

My favorite part of it is at the end of the file :) if name == "boring_wozniak" /* Steve Wozniak is not boring */ { goto begin }

Author here: Some weeks ago launched https://art42.net , a website to explore an infinite stream of AI Generated art. I wonder if a live streaming of AI generated art and music would be something that you would love to see in your living room tv? There is a White Backgorund Version (https://youtu.be/3bVGunLp2dU) and Black Background Version (https://youtu.be/ArXCHitvKu0)

Is this something that you would put on your tv in the background? As always, feedback is apreciated.

Yes there is an initial seed that it's needed, and it's baked in the name of the file. So if in the future I'll find a way to improve the quality, you can get the same result by passing in the seed

I need more $$ to feed the GPU monster, and then you will get more texture :) This is more of technical issue that can be solved quite easy, but you are right, most of them lack details and texture.

In this case, you decide. You click that Favorite button and it's a decision you make. The AI artist has a set of rules that learned from the previous trained art pieces, but the final shape, and the final decision is yours. You like it or not, and it's quite personal too.

Interesting, so would you say that the infinite aspect helped out the experience or damaged it? I've had doubts first when I've introduced it ( more from caching perspectives and data transfer costs ). But then I've wanted to showcase this amazing feature of those networks of generating an infinite amount of unique items, and also offer an unique experience to every user, the possibility of seeing unique art and bookmarking / printing it if considered

So the backend is simple, i've chosen to pregenerate 1 mil images at the beginning so it gives you some idea of diversity. I"ve tried to generate them realtime, but my server would have not survived the hackernews popularity today. The gan model is created by me, see in the comments above. I'm planning on bringing up new images on a daily timeframe, keep the one that people choose as favorites and delete the ones that were not popular

I have other styles too, and I'm planning on exchanging the AI on a regular basis. This was the one that I've personally liked the most. It was also the one that required the least training. I only have a 2080ti, and those models are quite hard to train. If you have recognisable shapes ore faces, you can quickly create some very disgusting art pieces that will make people sick. At this moment abstract seems to be the best solution.

Well the resolution is good enough.I've gave it a try and looks quite good on a 50cmx50cm canvas. You need to upscale it once or twice with a Super-Resolution AI algorithm

Your SAP remarks are funny and somehow true (maybe), but I'm maybe one of the lucky guys. I work for an interesting Labs section inside SAP (https://cxlabs.sap.com/) and we are lucky enough to do research on some interesting topics.

I don't fully agree with you on the purpose of art. Art can create different meanings for every watcher and they could be quite far away from what was the intended purpose ( the message ) of the artist. I would say that main function of art is to ask questions, and also to give you a way to experience life in a way you would otherwise not be able to. In this context I think AI generated art can bring something new, a new layer of reality, a new set of questions, that might not been surfaced because we use brains to create art and brains to interpret it. It could be a new type of input that would push humanity further.
