Anyone have any good tricks for getting AI image generation models like #dalle or #stablediffusion to produce animals or people with three eyes? I was hoping to get a lemur with a typical "mind's eye" third eye, but all the models seem to ignore the third eye condition no matter how frequently I specify it.
Tried to go extremely stereotypical, specifying the "three eyes" multiple ways. The closest I got was a lemur with a little yellow light on its forehead.
“a three-eyed lemur; the lemur is sitting in a lotus position and all three of its eyes are open. The third eye is centered on its forehead. highly detailed digital art trending on artstation”
@pganssle Maybe mention three-eyes terms: trepannation, minds eye, Ajna chakra, …. The same terms any consumed art would have used in their description.
@adamchainz Yeah, tried mind's eye, lots of terms like that. Just tried Ajna chakra and I got a bunch of lemurs with glowing balls at all their *other* chakras...
@pganssle Damn… img2img might work. Badly photoshop what you want and iterate from there. I’ve achieved some okay results with that feature on DiffusionBee.
Btw, why? Some weird D&D campaign or something?
@adamchainz I am putting together an Anki deck to teach my son common sight words (to supplement our phonics-based reading). I have a sight word for him to read, then a simple example sentence, and when we finish the sentence it reveals an illustration.
I had the sentence "I have three eyes" as an illustration for "have", and I wanted to have a three-eyed lemur or something (kids love funny stuff like that), but no matter what I tried I couldn't get any image generator to give me something suitable.
I ended up going with a different example sentence, but I found it curious that image generators *really* don't like extra eyes.
@adamchainz I think if I weren't concerned with licenses I could just google image something up pretty easily, but I'm trying to keep all the images CC-0 or CC-BY so that when the deck is done I can open source it. I am considering trying to go on fiverr or something to outsource the illustrations, because they're really quite time consuming even using generative AI, but unless I can find someone who will churn out a ton of quick illustrations or AI-generated images for pretty cheap, I think getting a hundred example sentences illustrated might be outside my budget for the project.
@pganssle Ah wow, awesome use case. My first job out of uni was at Memrise, which had the concept of “mems” - user generated reminder images based on some kind of association. Love to see the idea still being used. I’m a big Anki user too 😁
And yeah, AI generated art isn’t exactly fast when you have some idea…
