Hey mates, recently I’ve developed a tool to use the GenerativeAI on the AI Horde to created random avatars and banners on lemmy. To keep things spicy, I wanted to deploy to rotate the /c/piracy banner daily, as I’ve done in a bunch of other communities like !stable_diffusion_art@lemmy.dbzer0.com and the lemmy.dbzer0.com.

So now this is now active!

In case you're curious,. the current prompt used is this: 
"A of a (solo:1.2) {cyberpunk|steampunk|solarpunk|dieselpunk|anarchist|fantasy|science fiction} {disney pixar 3D|realistic|dreamworks 3D animation} {male|female|androgynous} {Abkhazian|Afghan|Åland Island|Albanian|Algerian|American Samoan|Andorran|Angolan|Anguillan|Antarctic|Antiguan|Argentine|Armenian|Aruban|Australian|Austrian|Azerbaijani|Bahamian|Bahraini|Bangladeshi|Barbadian|Belarusian Belgian|Belizean|Beninois|Bermudian|Bhutanese|Bolivian|Bonaire|Herzegovinian|Botswana|Bouvet Island|Brazilian|BIOT|Bruneian|Bulgarian|Burkinabé|Burundian|Cabo Verdean|Cambodian|Cameroonian|Canadian|Caymanian|Central African|Chadian|Chilean|Chinese|Christmas Island|Cocos Island|Colombian|Comorian|Congolese|Congolese|Cook Island|Costa Rican|Croatian|Cuban|Curaçaoan|Cypriot|Czech|Danish|Djiboutian|Dominican|Dominican|Timorese|Ecuadorian|Egyptian|Salvadoran|English|Equatorial Guinean|Eritrean|Estonian|Swati|Ethiopian|European|Falkland Island|Faroese|Fijian|Finnish|French|French Guianese|French Polynesian|French Southern Territories|Gabonese|Gambian|Georgian|German|Ghanaian|Gibraltar|Greek|Greenland|Grenadian|Guadeloupe|Guamanian|Guatemalan|Guernsey|Guinean|Bissau-Guinean|Guyanese|Haitian|Heard Island|Honduran|Cantonese|Magyar|Icelandic|Indian|Indonesian|Iranian|Iraqi|Irish|Manx|Israelite|Italian|Ivorian|Jamaican|Jan Mayen|Japanese|Jersey|Jordanian|Kazakhstani|Kenyan|Kiribati|North Korean|South Korean|Kosovan|Kuwaiti|Kyrgyzstani|Laotian|Latvian|Lebanese|Basotho|Liberian|Libyan|Liechtensteiner|Lithuanian|Luxembourgish|Macanese|Madagascan|Malawian|Malaysian|Maldivian|Malinese|Maltese|Marshallese|Martiniquais|Mauritanian|Mauritian|Mahoran|Mexican|Micronesian|Moldovan|Monégasque|Mongolian|Montenegrin|Montserratian|Moroccan|Mozambican|Myanma Burmese|Namibian|Nauruan|Nepalese|Dutch|New Caledonian|New Zealand|Nicaraguan|Nigerien|Nigerian|Niuean|Norfolk Island|Macedonian|Northern Irish|Northern Marianan|Norwegian|Omani|Pakistani|Palauan|Palestinian|Panamanian|Papuan|Paraguayan|Peruvian|Filipino|Pitcairn Island|Polish|Portuguese|Puerto Rican|Qatari|Réunionnais|Romanian|Russian|Rwandan|Saban|Barthélemois|Saint Helenian|Kittitian|Saint Lucian|Saint-Martinoise|Miquelonnais|Vincentian|Samoan|Sammarinese|São Toméan|Saudi|Scottish|Senegalese|Serbian|Seychellois|Sierra Leonean|Singaporean|Sint EustatiusStatian|Sint Maarten|Slovak|Slovenian|Solomon Island|Somali|South African|South Georgia Island|South Ossetian|South Sudanese|Spanish|Sri Lankan|Sudanese|Surinamese|Svalbard|Swedish|Swiss|Syrian|Taiwanese|Tajikistani|Tanzanian|Thai|Timorese|Togolese|Tokelauan|Tongan|Trinidadian|Tunisian|Turkish|Turkmen|Turks and Caicos Island|Tuvaluan|Ugandan|Ukrainian|Emirati|British|American|Uruguayan|Uzbekistani|Ni-Vanuatu|Vaticanian|Venezuelan|Vietnamese|British Virgin Island|U.S. Virgin Island|Welsh|Wallis and Futuna|Sahrawi|Yemeni|Zambian|Zanzibari|Zimbabwean} pirate {standing in front of a sail|sitting in front of a monitor}, {Rococo|Digital Art|Baroque} style, wearing a {red|blue|yellow|green|black|white} {bandana|hat|scarf} and holding a {crimson|gold|silver|emerald|magic|azure|obsidian|ebony} {sword|keyboard|compass|mug|treasure|flag|club|amulet|fruit}, rich detailed {open|cloudy|stormy|sunny} sky background###multiple people, duo, cleavage, bitcoin"

Pretty long ye? The way this works is that each a random option is picked from each collection wrapped in { } which allows me to generate versatile options every day to keep things fresh

Here’s some sample images that will be created

If you have improvements you want to see on the prompt, do let me know in the comments. In the future I’m having thoughts of allowing the community here to automatically send adjustments ideas to the prompt for funsies.

    Your personal feelings aside, this doesn’t practically affect you in any way from how it used to be until now.

      Practically, if a website I use implements features that I don’t want to see, then I am effected. I quit Facebook for similar reasons 15 years ago.

        Facebook implements things that affect what you get to see and experience (more ads, less people you follow, propaganda etc) for their own profit and empowerements at the cost of the whole society. This just replaces one GenAI image with another for funzies. But sure, if that’s the hill you’re willing to die on, do what you have to do.

          Facebook implements things […] for their own profit and empowerements at the cost of the whole society.

          The same could be said for the electricity you wasted because you didn’t want to make your own banner.

            You realize that making my own banner would waste order more electricity, right? The electricity expended to generate one new image is about as much as the amount you wasted writing these comments

              Electricity spent to provide humans with a comfortable working environment isn’t wasted. Electricity spent to deprive an artist of the opportunity to practice their craft absolutely is.

                My random banners don’t stop anyone from opportunities to practice their art. What kind of drugs are you on? Also, you realize you’re in the /c/piracy community, yes? Do you also go and complain about copyright violations?

                Electricity spent to provide humans with a comfortable working environment isn’t wasted.

                Your comments are anything but “a comfortable working environment”.

                Anyway, my point is that your comment “waste” is below trivial. Just like my genAI images. My computer is far more wasteful in a single session of video gaming. Or are you railing against those too?

                  My random banners don’t stop anyone from opportunities to practice their art.

                  Exactly, you never intended to commission an artist because you think so-called “AI art” is good enough to replace them.

                  Do you also go and complain about copyright violations?

                  Of course not, the marginal cost of duplicating an existing digital work is trivial. The cost of producing work is not, which is why freelance artists work on commission.

                  your comment “waste” is below trivial. Just like my genAI images.

                  If the images are so trivial then why spend so much effort defending them?

                  You clearly care about this, just not enough to pay an artist for custom work or even to copy something an artist already created.

                  My computer is far more wasteful in a single session of video gaming. Or are you railing against those too?

                  Again, of course not. You’re a person and not a machine designed to replace paid work with a generic plagirism laundromat.

                    You gotta be fucking kidding me…I didn’t commission an artist for an image per day A) because that would be insane and B) I’m poor and C) Because the point is being creative myself!

                    Of course not, the marginal cost of duplicating an existing digital work is trivial. The cost of producing work is not, which is why freelance artists work on commission.

                    I assure you, the cost of reproducing downloading a single mp3 greater than the cost to generate a single image.

                    If the images are so trivial then why spend so much effort defending them?

                    The…what? Read again The cost of creating such images is below trivial! Therefore the potential waste of such an action is not a concern.

                    You clearly care about this, just not enough to pay an artist for custom work or even to copy something an artist already created.

                    Yes, because read above.

                    Again, of course not. You’re a person and not a machine designed to replace paid work with a generic plagirism laundromat.

                    And as a person, my making the automation to generate these images gives me fulfilment like a video game. Are we done here?

                    Weird argument to make on a piracy sub, honestly. The existence of an AI generated image does not imply that a somewhere an artist lost a commission. Nobody was replaced. It’s not a choice between AI art and commissioned art, it’s a choice between AI generated images and nothing at all because that was the point of his project.

                    Whether we find it tasteful or interesting is another topic.
