My friend Jason Scott and I have been friends since 5th grade\u2013that\u2019s over 40 years\u2013and dur\u00ading that time Jason has con\u00adtin\u00adu\u00adal\u00adly intro\u00adduced me to, and shared with me, the lat\u00adest in com\u00adput\u00ader tech\u00adnol\u00ado\u00adgy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The oth\u00ader day, Jason shared with me some art that he\u2019d cre\u00adat\u00aded using an arti\u00adfi\u00adcial intel\u00adli\u00adgence (AI) art engine called Stable.Diffusion and a plu\u00adg\u00adin called Dream\u00adbooth. He showed me about a dozen por\u00adtraits the pro\u00adgram had gen\u00ader\u00adat\u00aded of him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intrigued, I men\u00adtioned off\u00adhand that I would\u00adn\u2019t mind see\u00ading a few of myself. So, using 30 images of my face (tak\u00aden from pre\u00advi\u00adous pho\u00adtos), he input them into the AI engine. The next day he sent me a link to 60 images, and the next day he sent me a link to anoth\u00ader 100. Each piece of art, he said, takes the engine about 10 sec\u00adonds to ren\u00adder. The fol\u00adlow\u00ading are just some of the results. I have to tell you, I am blown away by the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
