Dear #aiartcommunity 🧡 Issue º35 of #aiartweekly is live! Another packed week! Cover by @unsafe_dB_level 🐍 Adobe released Generative Fill ✍️ Mind-Video reconstructs videos from brainwaves 🤯 Interview with AI artist @ahmadova_marina 🥰 And a new "minimalism" challenge 👀
@ahmadova_marina This week we’ll be exploring the theme of minimalism. I’m looking for simplicity, incorporating basic shapes, colors, and lines to convey an idea or feeling.
Big news first! Generative AI art just got a lot more accessible this week. Adobe released a new feature called “Generative Fill” which enables text-to-image, inpainting and outpainting directly within Photoshop. @CoffeeVectors made a test-run 👇
This week we got Mind-Video which is able to reproduce videos from fMRI. I hope someone will invest a lot of money and trains a large enough model so I can visualize my dreams. Imagine a platform where people could share their dreams 🤯 @elonmusk 👀
Meta AI revealed their MMS project this week which is able to transcribe AND generate speech for a 1000+ languages. Compared to OpenAI’s Whisper, models trained on their dataset cover 11x more languages and achieve half the word error rate. Impressive.
Okay, now that we got Text-to-NeRF, what about we if we could combine it with other modalities? CoDi is a framework for any-to-any generation via composable diffusion. It can generate language, images, videos, and audio from any combination of the former.
Control-A-Video aka Video-ControlNet comes pretty close to Gen-1 and introduces the ability to guide video generation using depth maps, canny and HED edge detection as well as text descriptions.
Imagine you’ve a 3D asset you want to reuse but in a slightly different way? Sin3DM makes it possible to generate an infinite number of variations with different sizes and boundaries from a single input object.
Last but not least, Minecraft! Looking at Voyager, I think we aren’t that far away from being able to build worlds filled with NPCs that can learn by themselves and react to a player’s input organically.
Then there was blotterstream this week. An endless audio-reactive music video that is generated in real-time at 24 fps. Chris is working on a Spotify integration so you can run this at home during your own home parties.
@frantzfries shared an interesting video this week in which Carvana created a 1.3 million hyper-personalized videos. Is this the future of marketing?
@joinrealmai is hosting an exclusive exhibit taking place during the 2023 Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts! They’re looking for AI-art submissions, so show them what you got!
In this weeks interview I had the honour to interview Belgium based artist @ahmadova_marina. Marina catched my eye back in January when she released her now sold out drop “Alius Orbis”. Happy to have had the chance to pick her beautiful brain! 🧠
@ahmadova_marina After exploring this weeks lovecraftian theme myself, I found a style I’m extremely in love, so I thought I would start producing weekly style prompts again. This weeks prompt is: "in the style of john bauer, alessandro gottardo, wäinö aaltonen, dark black and light beige"
Open-source voice training is still a bit of a pain. Luckily there is a new WebUI that you can run on your own hardware. Unfortunately the docs are in Chinese 😅 Luckily again, @NerdyRodent put together a YouTube tutorial.
In case you’ve missed the signup link last week, Google’s MusicLM is in closed beta and you can sign up for access. I did so last week and haven’t heard back yet, but according to @infiniteyay it shouldn’t take longer than a few days 🤞
And that's another week wrapped up. Enjoy your weekend friends ✌️😎

I was asked to come talk about "AI art" this Thursday in front of a small selected group of individuals who were curious about the development of the field over the last few months.
Naturally I wanted to blow a few minds – in which I succeeded.
Here's what I showed them 👇
First course on the menu? Good ol' regular text-to-image which was basically my gateway drug into AI art in July 2022. The first image I've ever created reinvoked that magic I felt as a kid, where magic still was subjectively real.
We've seen an insane acceleration in image quality generated in the last 9 months. So how to better kickoff this thing by questioning reality itself. Can you tell which one of these images is real? Answer below 👇
#midjourney v5 is about to be released this week. So here are a few highlights from my rating sessions. I came across some insanely good and funny stuff. Let's go 🔥
Let's start with 3D. Found these particularly interesting, and it made me think if MJ3D actually isn't that far off anymore.
Cover submissions for #aiartweekly #12 are in 🎨🎉. Theme was "dreamscape". From 55 pieces I picked 4 finalists for you to vote on. Now it's your turn to pick a winner 🏆 Vote in tweet poll below! 👇 RT helps spread 🙏 #aiia#aiiart#aiartsociety
As always a big thank you to all the participants 🙏
It's always extremely difficult to decide on the finalist, if you haven't made it, don't think your work was not good enough, I just had to pick 4. So here are some other beautiful runner ups below 👇
