Generative-adversarial networks are distorting reality at the speed of sound, and the only places to go are fake too. But at least we can finally stick it to those super rich creatives, always hogging such things like "art styles" and "experience." I have a subreddit for this, /r/MediaSynthesis, so we're not starting from scratch. Just pull news from there over to here if you aren't sure your current reality isn't being generated by a machine learning algorithm— that'll pop you back into real life. Also remember that this is Reddit and Reddit is infested with chuds. Semantic Style Transfer Turns Microsoft Paint Sketch Into Fine Art AI generated faces from scratch This AI Can Clone Any Voice, Including Yours And of course the holy grail: Using machine learning to turn real people into anime characters One of these days, I'm gonna generate a barbershop quartet version of TLC's "Waterfalls".

I had a very primitive understanding but if I have n-examples of a product and want to have this concept spit something out based on that type of product and hope it shows me the next iPhone can I do that...? Basically I want to leverage it to help me come up with sick new visual concepts. But ideally it does not look like a mutated dog.

Yes, you can use gans to create something new and different but in the same style as the content you feed it. You probably are going to want more than a "primitive" understanding before you go for it, but all the tools you need are open source and documented.

There's implementations everywhere and the software is not too hard to understand and use if you're excited about it. See the github links above, find something close to what you want to do and read the documentation. Feral Integral fucked around with this message at 01:07 on Jan 2, 2019 |

Here's an old post of mine: [Possibilities] The Bedroom Multimedia Studio When I was about 9 or 10 (which wasn't that long ago, just 15 years), I actually thought we already had media generation and synthesizing algorithms. I very distinctly remember looking up on AOL how to download a program that would create a cartoon. I'd type in my useless and baffling 10-year-old descriptions and the computer would self-destruct trying to decipher what I was trying to say, but eventually I'd get a 30-minute episode that I could watch and show off to others. I was confused and disappointed when my words didn't magically turn into a cartoon. Eventually, when I was 13, I found this Anime Studios program at Walmart and thought "Aw sweet, Imma go create my own show". And I even asked myself "Do they already have the voices I want on there?" at one point like a dumbass. I think I still have that disc, too. Never touched since 2008, which should tell you whether or not I was able to create a cartoon that day. But I was a silly little kid who didn't really know much about technology. Computers and the internet seemed like magic and this was the era right around when blogs became common, so I just watched Cartoon Network and their contemporaries not understanding the sheer effort and manhours that went into creating even a single animated short, let alone an entire series. Cartoons just existed. I didn't know how they were created other than that some guy drew images over and over again and they somehow got put on TV, and I never thought to use the magical internet to research how cartoons are made. So surely, computers could just generate them, right? Actually, I did find out the extensive process of animation around the same time of my second little gaffe because I genuinely did try to do something with it and was flabbergasted at how labor intensive it was just to create a single piss-poor 2-second loop of stick figures and that brought me to do some actual research. How disappointing, right? That was over a decade ago. It feels surreal and sorta vindicating to know that, by the late 2020s, it's possible someone who's a stupid 10-year-old that doesn't know better could think "Can I download something that makes a cartoon?" and the answer will be "Yes!" If I were a bettin' man, I'd say that the sort of generative networks that we'll see during the next decade up to the latest years (2028 and 2029) will allow for you to pick and choose what sort of show you want to create. Like, to keep with the cartoon example, imagine that for the early 2020s: GoAnimate, but vastly superior. There are many presets you can choose. You can type in detailed descriptions of someone or something and get a character or object designed, and then you can pick out what you want in a specific style. You don't even have to stick with any one style for all objects and characters— you could have a character from classic Disney a la Snow White or Beauty and the Beast with a modern overly-childlike moe anime character in a single work with a background that looks like it was drawn in the style of Ed Edd 'n Eddy. The animation will probably be either too awkward or too fluid, making it too obvious that it's something created with software. And the voices will also be realistic, but with poorly cadenced intonations and weird inflections. But a particularly skilled creator or a small team could create something with $200 that looks like it cost a thousand times more than that (which is the actual cost of a single episode of a typical Western cartoon, believe it or not). I can see that as being probable by 2022-2023 or so. Mainly if deep learning + destructive brain scans takes off. By the late 2020s, it will all likely be many times more refined, sort of like the difference between creating websites in 1998 vs. today. Animation quality/fluidity could be entirely a choice rather than a limitation and voice synthesization will be indistinguishable from reality. The OST can be anything you want it to be, however epic and sweeping or minimalist and unpretentious. What was rough and took a lot of your own effort in the early 2020s is literally as easy as typing in descriptions and then refining the results with the help of AI, then letting said AI run various scenes through and letting you choose which one was the best or was the closest so you could further tweak it. And the AI could also help you edit it if you doubt your hand. And if you were to release it to the world, you genuinely could since NLP/NLU would allow you to translate everything (speech and text) to all other languages. You could create an entire multimedia franchise in your bedroom.

Text-To-Speech Donald Trump Model hanyuqn quote:This is the result of many hours playing around with Tacotron and other publicly implemented TTS models. I started with a model trained on the LJ Speech dataset from https://github.com/keithito/tacotron and fine-tuned it with about 3 hours of Trump audio (mostly from weekly addresses and a few speeches where background noise is minimal) across around 4,000 audio files of a few words each that were generated by splitting videos by silence, using ffmpeg. This forced each audio file to start immediately at the beginning of a word and end precisely at the end of a word. I then ran a script to use Google Cloud Speech to transcribe each file and save the results to a csv in the same format as LJ Speech, then went through all of the audio and fixed/deleted incorrect transcriptions. While I experimented a lot with different code and changing hyperparameters, it was definitely making the training data as clean as possible that got the best results. This model is still very far from perfect of course and the results vary greatly across different sentences you give it. It's uncanny to hear...

Can an AI Learn To Draw a Caricature?

OpenAI: We’ve trained a large-scale unsupervised language model which generates coherent paragraphs of text, achieves state-of-the-art performance on many language modeling benchmarks, and performs rudimentary reading comprehension, machine translation, question answering, and summarization This is uncannily coherent for an AI.

That sounds so realistic and yet I saw this video a while ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqkRBgz5_bY&t=105s and the way Trump says the name 'Roy Moore' is just so Microsoft Sam like to me, the way he spaces the first and last name out, and with such monotony to it. People have mocked me for having a monotonous voice and joked that I must be a robot, so it could be nothing but a lack of social skills such as I had, but then again he's a trained speaker, there's a big difference between a teenager and a guy whose a famous public speaker. Wasn't there a book that came out a few years ago speculating on the prospect of a holographic Putin? Couldn't this type of thing be happening right now and people don't even know? Wasn't this the plot in Red Alert 3 where the President is a robot put there by the Japanese? Don't the government have technology which is years in advance of what the public thinks is possible?
