GentBG x PUSSTEEM - burning both STEEM and PUSS

by joviansummer original STEEMIT post: https://steemit.com/blog/@joviansummer/gentbg-x-pussteem-burning-both-steem-and-puss Hello, this is @joviansummer(witness: @jswit), developer of GentBG project. I registered @gentbg account to PUSSTEEM about a week ago and donated some of my own PUSS token to @gentbg's EPUSS account. Now, @gentbg will burn STEEM and EPUSS at the same time. PUSSTEEM's boosting upvotes will help increasing baseline burning significantly. @gentbg's SP reward is delegate to @jsup to get automated upvotes, forming a baseline burning of liquid reward independent of other people's upvotes. Some may argue 100%(both liquid and SP reward) burning is much better, but I chose this approach to prevent @gentbg from becoming a spamming account. Constantly asking for upvotes via mentioning and commenting every week may eventually become a big annoyance to curators. That being said, anyone is welcome to participate in countering STEEM inflation by giving upvotes ...

Experimenting with generative AI

Hello, this is @joviansummer(witness: @jswit). I may be a stranger to this art community, but hopefully some of you might find this post interesting.

I've been experimenting with generative AI for some time, and it was pretty interesting for me. I didn't use online services. Instead, I directly used open models such as Stable Diffusion and its derivatives combined with UI software such as Forge or ComfyUI.

The image attached to this post was done by me, with multiple back and forth with AI model, using image-to-image generation.

These are a few things I've found regarding this experiment, but considering that I'm neither artist nor AI expert, it would be better to take them with a grain of salt. Anyway, here they are:

  • Maybe it's just me, but it was really difficult to get what I want exactly with text-to-image generation.

  • AI could generate pretty good images, but there were anomalies sometimes. Especially eyes, fingers, or arms/legs.

  • If I manually draw/paint a draft image and then use AI to revise it, sometimes AI could present brilliant results. If you have specific visual in your mind, you need to draw/paint something so that AI can use it as a reference. Text prompt(text-to-image) was not enough in many cases.

  • Image generation using text prompt only may help artists getting some new ideas/inspirations.

  • You need a powerful GPU for image generation. It's possible to do run image generation AI models with CPU, but it's very slow.

I'm testing an experimental service jsup.GEN to connect Steemit and generative AI. Currently it's limited to text-to-image generation. Maybe I should look into image-to-image generation also.

Personally I don't think AI will replace real artists, at least for now. Instead, AI may help artists speed up their works greatly without compromising visual quality.

Thank you for reading, and have a wonderful day!
