I used an AI to make paintings using only the terms “Baduk” and “Weiqi.” Thoughts?

Yes, I think so.

Downloaded the app, but it says I need credits and have none.

Edit: After some time I was given credit and asked for a watercolor painting of the prompt “-1 = e^(i🥧)”. The result:

Is it a mash-up of google image search results?

The app is a huge pain to use, bombards you with ads and only lets your generate two free images : ( The other one i tried generating was an unrecognisable mess, so i deleted the app.

Was that using the same settings to generate? I don’t mind the ads so far and will probably experiment in a leisurely way at the rate of two trys a day but I am fascinated by how it works with repeated identical input.

Confusion and uncanniness is still very much a feeling, which i personally find fascinating, the AI captures exactly those feelings extremely well, even if it wasnt its intention. Like a fever dream full of unrecognisable confusion, i honestly love it ^^

Interesting. If Google image results formed the bulk of training data then possibly yes.
I assume the Devs had some way of filtering for copyright protected content in that case.

I note that they say that the user has ownership of the images produced.

I think the second one used a similar but different keyword, since it just looked bad i didnt save it unfortunately, i hope you can get some good results with it! Im sure theres gotta be a better place to generate AI images though.

Goban cosmetics is a somewhat popular brand (and one of the first Google results for those who haven’t fixed the algorithm by being Go players), I’m surprised nobody has hit that yet.

I have to say, I’m really enjoying the uncanny valley effect. There’s something almost artistic about it.

Yes, all of those are actual outputs that I got for trying those prompts. I got a lot of other weird ones as well, but just cherry picked a few, as is customary for presenting AI results. Try it yourself.
