OpenAI image generator
DALL-E 2

DALL-E 2 uses GPT-3 technology that, through machine learning, is capable of interpreting texts and shaping them into images. However, this technology is not only capable of generating a subject, but also incorporates it in an artistic context and in a performance context. The possibilities of this tool are: Generating high quality drawings and images with only a mere description; retouching existing images; and, creating new models from an existing image. Access is through a waiting list.

OpenAI image generator

DALL-E Mini

DALL-E Mini is an OpenAI image generator through text whose code is open source and can be found on GitHub. The idea behind this AI is to create an algorithm to generate images similar to Google’s DALLE, but with a smaller infrastructure and less hardware resources.

AI tool
Google AI – Chimera Painter

Chimera Painter is a demo that lets you run wild by drawing out creature shapes that become fully fleshed out by our CreatureGAN machine learning model, which was trained on hundreds of thousands of 2D renders of 3D creature models.

The model looks at the body parts you drew on your creature and uses them to decide how to style it for you. Painting is a highly creative, iterative process. What can we create when we start thinking about machine learning as a paintbrush?
