Theme: Collaborative. Make an innovative piece using any combination of tools, as long as AI is a central part. Examples & tools π
Examples:
Combine your physical or digital work with AI. Make an AR filter. Add AI to a cc0 video. Use GPT4 to code interactive art, a mini-game, a website. Make music with AI and add video to it. Use AI for textures in a 3D render. Put an AI panorama in VR. Etc.
I'll make a more complete list with links & tutorials. For now, examples--
I understand this is broad & maybe intimidating. A more complete list of tools, tutorials, and examples will help. I'll QT this thread with those later today.
The law is considering if humans have enough say in AI art for it to be truly theirs.
Show them what you've got.

IMAGES
beta.dreamstudio.ai - Stability AI's official web app. Easy interface, free credits to start, options for different models, uploading your own images to apply AI to, aesthetic filters, inpainting, and more. I use this one all the time.
playgroundai.com - Easy interface, free credits to start, lots of filters specific to which model you choose (Stable Diffusion, Playground, Dalle2), image upload and inpainting. The woolitize, dark comic, and claymation filters are so fun! π«
I was advised not to tweet until things were more clear. It's been very hard to sit on my hands and see the notifications roll in. I can't do it anymore. I'm a transparent person. I'm gonna be transparent.
This is my understanding of what happened.
Superchief was approached by a rep of Paris Blockchain Week while at NFTParis. They talked on the exhibition I co-curated & at the end, they asked Superchief if they wanted to exhibit an artist at the Louvre. Very specific wording, multiple times, for over a week. AT the Louvre.
Superchief called me and asked if I wanted to exhibit at the Louvre. We were both thrilled. Absolute dream come true. Of course I said yes. My team arranged a call with my agency to share the news. They were also thrilled.
With ~2000 entries, I was surprised by the patterns that emerged in submissions--themes that told a story of things we're all collectively experiencing. I've broken these into categories. Hope to keep that context for gallery exhibitions.

πLets go!π
First tut thread was science, this one is art. Stick with me--Let's have some fun!
Click CKPT DOWNLOAD. Once done, open the google drive you're using for this tut, then open "AI," then "models," & drag AnalogDiffusion CKPT to the models folder.

STEP BY STEP AI ANIMATION TUTORIAL: THREAD ONE
(link in the last tweet for thread 2, which is a deep dive of tips and tricks!) #AIArt
This thread looks complicated, but is written for anyone to be able to do. If you follow this, you'll end up with an animation--today! Hang in there, it's not hard, just wordy, and I promise: you'll be glad you did.
You've got this!
Okay, Ready? Let's go!π
Step 1) Create a fresh gmail. This is important, as when you explore more tools in the future, you want to be sure your primary google drive is protected if any are untrustworthy! π΅οΈββοΈ
NYE resolution to train AI? This tutorial thread is for you.
This is the "easy" version, which requires more VRAM--I'm aware there are alternatives.
If you don't want to train your own models, just make AI art with other peoples models (much easier & free), skip to step 3.
1) Figure out how much VRAM you have--& make sure its Nvidia. You can find this on windows by going to device manager, display adapters, then googling the name of your GPU to see the VRAM number.
2) Visit paperspace.com (core), or lambdalabs.com (gpu cloud) & get a virtual machine with a GPU of (imo) >24gb of VRAM. This starts from ~.80 cents an hour, so 3 hours a day costs a medium coffee. The more VRAM, the faster the images & model training.
