It really sucks that you'd do this.

This is a word predictor fed on billions of tokens of text. Because it has been trained on human writing, it makes characteristically human mistakes (including spelling, grammar, and even some phonetic errors).

Incredible! I had no clue this existed. Thank you for pushing me down a rabbit hole for the last 45 minutes :-)

I was similarly surprised, but it's true. The original text is essentially the exact same (probably a 99.9% overlap) with the exception of a few spelling mistakes or grammar errors. My editing was about as much as you'd get from Microsoft Word, if that.

Hmm.. I may or may not speak French. Thanks for the idea.

Thanks for the input. I'm working on adding print functionality as we speak - let you know when it's up.

Absolutely! I was planning on providing this, but wanted to keep the model free of commercial services. There are open-source alternatives out there, though, which I may add support for in the future.

These are gorgeous! Great work.

Yes, good point. I think a major part of the appeal is the backstory. I do love abstract art, though, so I'm probably a non-representative sample :-)

Certainly a good point. Unfortunately, the output size is constrained by the training data (which in this case was ~800x800px). I think it would be kind of a pain to find 14,000 9000x9000 images, though, so I don't know if this will ever be able to fulfill this requirement. ;)

Thanks for the input! I'll add that functionality and let you know as soon as it's ready.

Definitely something I considered while feeding it a tremendous number of famous paintings (Rothko, Pollock, etc). Considering the nature of random seed generation/traversing through latent space, I don't see a strong legal case to be made for infringement. The law has done crazier things, though, so I'll keep an eye on it.

Beautiful.
