Entering this contest does not require any talent or skill as you will be creating art with the help of some really interesting artificial intelligence!
I only created my first STEEM-powered contest last Monday, but the reaction was so overwhelming, I decided it's time for another one. Last week's winners are going to be announced on Wednesday. If you want to increase the rewards for the #my2017top5 contest, you can still upvote the promo video for it as 60% of its earnings are also going towards the rewards.
Now to the contest at hand!
Since it's obvious that artificial intelligence is going to continue playing a larger and larger role in our lives for the foreseeable future, it only makes sense for us to start making friends with our computerized overlords-to-be while they are still in their infancy. And what better activity to do with the babies that they are, but guided finger painting for future robots.
All the images you see above were created by a computer algorithms that have been taught what a cat, a shoe or a handbag is and now they can use their large image databases to convert simple doodles we give them into freaky art. And that's what we are going to do for this contest!
You can turn your doodles into creepy mutant creatures using this awesome tool. Please keep in mind that this is an unofficial demo done as a proof-of-concept to demonstrate a research paper, so it's likely for it to be buggy and to even crash your browser from time to time! It's not malicious, but save your work before you give it a go. My old beaten-up laptop didn't want to work with it and the GPU on my workstation crashed on every even numbered attempt to create a cat.
The tool actually comes with four separate AI image creators - for cats, for buildings, for shoes and for handbags.
A cat from my ugly doodle!
But you don't have to give the tools what they expect, here are a face and a house created with the cat tool too.
The building tool is a bit different as it doesn't take doodles but rectangles.
Here's the shoe tool though I didn't draw a shoe...
Here's the handbag tool!
The Contest
Now the goal of this contest is to use this tools to create freaky creatures in 3 different categories - the most beautiful, the creepiest and the funniest. The lines between the 3 are arbitrary but I'm going to award one winner in each category and I'm going to reward each winner with 20% of the SBDs generated by this post. This means that like last time, 60% of the SBDs are going to the rewards for the contest.
So here are the official rules of this contest:
- Create up to 3 different creatures using https://affinelayer.com/pixsrv/ and stick them in a post. You can create more, but designate the 3 entries!
