A.I. Artificial Intelligence

Just a place to put a few notes on some A.I. software to try out for image generation. In a few years this will probably seem kind of quaint but at the time of this writing there are only a few apps that are reasonably easy to set up to do natural language image processing / generation.

Image Generation

I want to do X type Graphic

One of the most important things to be able to do in A.I. age with image generation is to know more often than not what tool is the best choice to do a certain task. Perhaps a list of tasks and the tool assocaited is in order. This may become unwieldy after a while but you have to start somewhere. For example “I want to make studio Ghibli”, or “3D craft stop motion”, “Lego movie”, “Summarize Content”, “Art Deco”, “Diagrams”, “UX Design Mockup”, “Page Layhout”, “Renaissance Painting”, “Fill in areas here”

There may be a single tool that's better accepting uploads. There may be a better prompt builder which is what might be done locally. Also a tool like Krita could be the one to run locally. And it'd be good to know how good or similar certain tools are. If Grok and Gab can bother generate images. What's best UI?

A.I. Companions

Lot's of work being done and people discussing A.I. companions. This is a sad near-reality. A.I. assistants would be much better to help people without replacing real people. But there's really no stopping the rise of A.I. relationships. A trajectory towards more interaction in the physical world is likely a great idea. Also there will be a great need for more counseling of people by professionals to help them ween off simulations and addictive dopamine tech.

Stable Diffusion

Deep learning text-to-image diffusion model capable to generate imagery. Stable Diffusion's code and model weights have been released publicly and can be run on most consumer hardware equipped with GPU with 8GB of VRAM. The user owns the rights to their generated output images, and is free to use them commercially.

Prompts to Learn like a Genius

Act as a Socratic tutor and help me understand 
the concept of momentum in physics. 
Ask me questions to guide my understanding.
Can you explain momentum using everyday
analogies and provide some real-life examples?
Create a set of practice questions about momentum
ranging from basic to advanced levels.
Give me a list of 20 key terms in this paper and
break it into five categories.
Make a list of propositions in this text in the 
format "X is a type of Y", "W is caused by X", 
"A explains B".  Put it into a table with columns.
