There is a short demonstration video at the link. ___________________________________________ Lumina: A Raspberry Pi-Based AI Art Generator We're constantly scouring the internet for intriguing Raspberry Pi-based projects to highlight, and we've recently discovered one that really stands out: it's named Lumina. Created by DevMiser, a developer with a keen interest in microcontroller programming, robotics, artificial intelligence, and 3D design, Lumina stands out for its ability to turn voice commands into visual art displayed on your television. This project utilizes a Raspberry Pi 4 running a Python program, harnessing the capabilities of Picovoice's voice recognition technology and OpenAI's DALL-E 3 to translate requests into images. Simply connect it to an HDMI input on your TV, plug a USB cable into the Raspberry Pi to give it power, and it's all set! Once operational, Lumina listens for a wake word, processes voice commands, and uses DALL-E 3 to create and show the requested artwork on the TV screen. This project aims to make AI art generators like OpenAI's DALL-E 3 even easier to use for everyone. DevMiser's goal was to create a device that not only makes it easy for anyone to voice out their creative ideas but also to display them on a large, conveniently located screen: your television. Those interested in building their own Lumina will need OpenAI and Picovoice accounts to obtain the necessary API keys for voice command processing and AI art generation. Comprehensive guidance for setting up and running Lumina is available on DevMiser’s GitHub repository
I haven't looked into what it does for simulating animation, but if they're doing it like text but with moar powar and maor data, I imagine it'll eventually barf out some nightmare fuel 30 secs into the simulation of simulations. Prompt: show me what robots dream of electronic sheep
All AI does is gather up images already created and use them to make new ones...so somewhere everything was created by an artist first. DD
I would be interested in A.I. generating a picture of Allen Iverson picking up photo prints of Andre Iguodala on a computer making A.I. pictures of Andre 3000 in an Igloo with his Dada.
Talking with my wife recently about Pinterest, where she keeps boards on a number of subjects -- some practical like what should the kitchen renovation look like, and some more artistic, like a collection of images of beautiful ruins. Pinterest seems to be getting inundated with AI imagery, and it's killing the platform for her. The practical applications are less practical: "that's the perfect table! Where can I buy it? Oh, it's AI-generated and doesn't actually exist. FML!" And the more visionary uses are also ruined: "That photo of crumbling gothic church with a tree growing in it would be beautiful if it was a real place - but it's not!"
The thing is . . .. the kitchen could be created. The Crumbling church . . .we'd ruin a whole build for nice picture? Seems wasteful AI Pictures are dreams made visual . . .. some of them is like trying to explain a dream They are neither good or bad but they are not to be taken overly seriously either Why appeal to my sense of . . .whimsy or horror . .. depending on the picture When did we every require art to be "real" THEN AGAIN . .. I am a fan of Dali and Geiger Rocket River
SORA is where it gets REALLY Interesting: https://openai.com/sora https://cdn.openai.com/sora/videos/wooly-mammoth.mp4 https://cdn.openai.com/sora/videos/big-sur.mp4 https://cdn.openai.com/sora/videos/tokyo-walk.mp4 This from simple text . . . .amazing Rocket River (I'm sure its not as simple as that but still amazing)
I read an interesting discussion on AI ART versus Abstract Art It was intriguing to watch people explain how AI Art was souless and meaning less while trying to explain how scribbles on a wall or a banana taped to a wall touched the human experience in a way only the human artist could do it Rocket River
