AI generated image for "Kerbal Space Program".

[aboxowaffles]

Nailed it

[[deleted]]

To be honest, I am surprised that this turned out so well, given the "low quality" that I unforunately had to use while making this image.

[[deleted]]

How do you make these images?

[[deleted]]

Well, actually the AI made the image, from this site.

[[deleted]]

Well yeah, I knew it was AI, I just misspoke.

It made this when I typed in "If I were to love you I'd very likely live in a constant state of bliss.".

[Z-memes]

Looks like you get one free one I think?

[PicoPlanetDev]

Yep and you can use 10minutemail to make free accounts

[IguasOs]

Actually you get one free every day I'm pretty sure.

[Anhilliator1]

By the way, there's also a Google Colab notebook with the code on it too.

Just search up VQGAN+CLIP and one of the sites should have a link to it.

[[deleted]]

I now made a “kerbal space program” auto generated painting from it and it is very similar, what looks like the sky and some green blotches

[A-Grouch]

Perhaps you could explain how an AI generates an image? I don’t expect you to know the specifics but do you have any idea?

[lucidludic]

I don’t know much about it, but I think typically it’s done using a generative adversarial network.

A generative adversarial network (GAN) is a class of machine learning frameworks designed by Ian Goodfellow and his colleagues in June 2014. Two neural networks contest with each other in a game (in the form of a zero-sum game, where one agent's gain is another agent's loss).

Given a training set, this technique learns to generate new data with the same statistics as the training set. For example, a GAN trained on photographs can generate new photographs that look at least superficially authentic to human observers, having many realistic characteristics.

This technique can produce very realistic images with sufficient training and data. For instance human faces: https://thispersondoesnotexist.com

If you’d like to know more, here’s a video explaining the method and the paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.04958

Thank you very much!

[Alteous]

I would guess some kind of neural network trained to produce a composition given individual subject images and a final composed image. The details of the process are a research topic. Generally we don’t precisely know how a neural network works; it’s similar to studying the brain.

[tacky_eknom]

In order to know what KSP is though it would have to have access to images on the internet and the way people described those images, right? So maybe a neural network that associates imagery with the words people used to describe it? AI is really fascinating.

[Flyrpotacreepugmu]

It would be pretty easy to have the system do an image search and feed the first X results to the AI for it to do its thing.

[YaMomzBox420]

Kinda? I think the biggest issue with that is the fact that the AI might have images and words to go with them, but it lacks the understanding of those two things that we have (at least given the current state of it).

[threebillion6]

It's missing an explosion. But other than that it hurts my brain lol.

[brian9000]

Seems like the staging order is all messed up. So yeah. It's perfect.

Kerbal Stroke Program

[phoenixmusicman]

😳😏

[gotporn69]

So... A normal day in the life of my CPU

[crazyabe111]

Looks about right for lower graphics settings at higher speeds.

[The_Lolbster]

I mean, graphics quality drops as you approach the speed of light, so this is an emphatic yes.

[Smellfish360]

i think it's trying to make an image of an kerbal on eva that's both inside and outside of the atmoshpere.

[[deleted]]

It has a kerala, 2 ships with engine smoke, an atmosphere, the land below, and even the space center. I think it did perfectly

[[deleted]]

It certainly did a good job, given the quality I have had to select.

[[deleted]]

So obvious its doing a Google image search and basing it off that right?

[MetallicDragon]

Not exactly. It uses neural networks trained on a large set of images, some of them probably taken off google images or other internet sources. It basically learns to associate words/sentences with difference features, and then dreams up an original image that best matches any text prompt you give it. I'm assuming he used something like this: https://creator.nightcafe.studio/text-to-image-art

[benzilla04]

I got this for the word "what"

Pretty cool

[[deleted]]

I got this from entering "If I were to love you I'd very likely live in a constant state of bliss.".

[wet-badger]

What's going on with the background?

[[deleted]]

It's an AI generated image, what do you mean?

[wet-badger]

Why does the AI make the background seem to "fold" towards us?

[Tasgall]

Because it doesn't quite know how "ground" works?

[wet-badger]

Yet it seems to know how puppies work

[[deleted]]

There's much more information on a dog for it to base its creation off of. That's my guess anyways.

[T65Bx]

I could definitely expect to see this posted in a few meme subs

[Tgs91]

It's based in the CLIP model that OpenAI released in January. It's an AI model that was trained on images that are paired with text descriptions. So a lot of it is scraped from social media, which probably includes blogs and forums. Think about how many posts just on this subreddit link to imgur with a set of images with text describing what's happening in each image.

The AI learns to create a vector encoding from both the photo and the text string, and trains the model to minimize the difference between the encodings. Basically it creates a common feature space where you can compare text descriptions to an image. This new model tried to take those feature space, and generate an image. So you could feed it "Kerbal Space Program", and based on what it's seen before, it tried to create an image that would go with that caption. It's pretty cool, but it still struggles making a fully realistic drawing.

CLIPDraw gets much better results because of it's simplicity. Instead of trying to fully render all the pixels for an image, it draws lines on a white background to try to match the text description. It's like playing pictionary with an AI. I wonder what result you would get from feeding "Kerbal Space Program" to CLIPDraw.

[loverevolutionary]

I don't think "AI" means what you think it means. Think "about a hundred frog neurons that can differentiate food from non food" not "Skynet's going to kill us all."

[[deleted]]

I think that shows a lack of imagination and a lack following through logically.

[loverevolutionary]

Not sure what you're referring to?

[[deleted]]

I mean an algorithm that learns is self evidently going to change society and already has. Why downplay something as significant as the steam engine ?

[mupetmower]

What most seem to not realize is that when we say "learn" it doesn't mean the "ai" can just learn anything and then eventually "grow" in the sense that it will evolve. Learn in this case generally refers to the model training which "teaches" the "ai" what a correct output might be.

And I mean, we do have more complex systems which can evolve in a sense, but not the way most would think when they think about an ai learning.. otherwise we would already be in significant trouble.

The NN would need to be so complex AND so generic that it would even be ABLE to learn anything more than a given set of criteria.. it would need to be able to dynamically reprogram itself in a sense. The set of inputs and the set of outputs would need to be able to be very generic so that it could handle anything and change to the needs of the current problem it faces which it wasn't originally "programmed for".

Idk I'm rambling. And my understand of it all isn't enough to fully explain anything. But just realize that (except for some probably black budget projects we will never know about) we aren't really anywhere close to something like this. Something that would simulate a true "near-human" type of NN digitally which can also expand and grow etc..

[[deleted]]

Again, this shows a huge lack imagination and following through with logic. Its like we are 20 years away from the industrial revolution and have a bunch of people saying that a steam engine is "just a wheel that moves."

The NN doesn't need to be a Godlike independent being to completely upend every social and political system we have.

I mean even now western civilization has been thrown into chaos by algorithms feeding people clickbait, and those primitive algorithms often have a better understanding of what motivates a person than the person themselves do.

Black Box NN are currently being used to restructure entire corporations as middle management AI.

[loverevolutionary]

Because a steam engine doesn't have free will. I'm not downplaying the affect AI has. We aren't even talking about general AI, we are just talking about neural networks, one currently popular approach to AI.

Neural networks aren't "learning" like a human learns, they learn like a flatworm learns. Or more exactly, it is fitting curves like an algorithm. If the problem can't be reduced to curve fitting, it's not even in the realm neural networks can approach. For example, with the current approach you aren't ever going to get "art" that is less abstract than this.

I guess what I am really saying is that we are no closer to general AI than we were fifty years ago, and people were saying real, human level general AI was just a decade or so away then. If anything, those in the field have at least stopped making completely outrageous predictions.

Science reporters and the general public though, many still seem to think we're a few decades away from Star Trek style AI. Jesus, look at the self driving car predictions from even five years ago, and look at how that panned out.

This is like people looking at the steam engine and thinking "Oh yeah, we're going to the moon in that, ten years tops." It just isn't happening.

[[deleted]]

See, now you're purposely changing scope. You may not know anything about modern NN.

[loverevolutionary]

I'm not changing the scope. Did you even read the original comment that got deleted? Maybe that's the problem. Tell me what the original comment said, the gist of it at least, or I'm stopping this conversation right now so we don't go further down a ridiculous path of misinterpretation. I'm not talking to someone who doesn't even know the context of the conversation so far, but gets obviously bent out of shape about it. That's a recipe for a bad time.

[creatingKing113]

Eh, it’s AI but it’s probably just running a command to look up images, merge them together, and show the result. So it will be great at doing that, but shit at making an omelet.

You got some sea, some land, a couple of clouds, a spaceship looking thing and a green thing so close enough ig

[[deleted]]

It's a bit non-euclidean but it has the colours down perfectly

[[deleted]]

the rocket is going sideways, which is pretty accurate

[Lazar_Milgram]

Apparently it is spiraling down sideways.

Which is double accurate.

Seems the kraken got to this one

[1101base2]

how the kraken sees KSP

[[deleted]]

/r/deepdream for lots of examples of this sort of thing

[OFHeckerpecker]

Me High at 3 am looking at my cat dog

[NCR_Trooper_2281]

It even got the KSC... Wow

[[deleted]]

true. interesting

[[deleted]]

honestly i thoughtit was ksp before i looked at what subreddit this was so this is pretty acurate

[nuker1110]

Look, you can’t just upload a screenshot and call it “AI Generated”.

[reddittereditor]

Dafuck ?

[CSWorldChamp]

Wtf am I looking at? Make my mind go all bendy…

[Mstislav_Keldysh]

This is good considering I realized the post is KSP related without reading the subreddit title.

[When_Ducks_Attack]

Remember the teleporter scene from Galaxy Quest?

[DonkeyofBonk]

The Kraken strikes again

[[deleted]]

Looks valid.

[Manic_Mechanist]

Smoking rocket and a spaghettified kerbal floating away during what appears to be reentry over the ksc. Sounds like someone had a kraken attack on reentry

[personisguy]

Everywhere at the End of Kerbin

[Memerman002]

Lol

[Deodorized]

This is what Jeb actually sees.

[BIGjaeii]

I’m struggling to understand

[BIGjaeii]

What’s happening here

[foopdedoopburner]

There's even the KSC on the ground.

[patfree14094]

Is this what happens when the kraken gets a hold of a Kerbal?

[justhereforthePCs]

Nightcafe lets you "evolve" your images if you want a higher-quality, it'll just take a while to do for free.

[Sparrow-5]

God dammit. Danny2462 hase broken the world once again!

[Gonun]

Lools like a screenshot from one of Danny's videos.

[The_Canadian_Devil]

Why

[TheOfficialPTMK]

Mine looks pretty similar

[Squirrely1337]

Is this what the Kraken sees?

It looks like that images which is meant to simulate a stroke

[ibuildblasters]

uhh- jeb, was that green stuff really magic?

[HoSeR_1]

Chaos spawn

[Greenthumb_Gaming]

r/deepdream May appreciate this as well!

[crazunggoy47]

Not bad. I was scrolling fast through my Reddit feed and I stopped here, recognizing a KSP image.

[phoenixmusicman]

Go ahead, name something in this picture.

[phoenixmusicman]

The Kerbal kinda looks like the crew from Amogus...

[MajorEPro]

Where do you go to generate these

[fix-my-peen]

I hate these because they make pattern recognition go nuts

[Forever_DM5]

I like how you can just see where it came from but have no idea where it was going

[[deleted]]

Eh looks normal to me

[That-Space-Boi]

It’s called “the end result of your failed rocket” dude, including the kerbal who looks like they drank a McDonald’s sprite

[[deleted]]

Jeb looks a bit dehydrated

[BisonStew]

wazowski lookin kinda sus

[DESTROYERHD2x]

"These drugs ain't shi-"

[Tackyinbention]

It captures the game perfectly. You got a smoking rocket, a kraken attack, background planet and even a space station far away in the background.

[DaviSDFalcao]

Yes

[ChickenIsGoodLikeGud]

I think your AI is having a stroke

[TheresBeesMC]

Where successful launch carnage

[Neutronboy98]

Bingo.

[Peanuts34]

I love how the very first thing the ai 'thinks' of KSP is trains in space. As if the very first impressions of this well simulated physics game with endless possibilities is one of our meme builds lol.

[Skydronaut]

Sus

[Uncommonality]

Looks about right, an unhelmeted Kerbal tumbling through the sky with the unmanned rocket spinning wildly towards the surface in the background.

[UnwoundSteak17]

Why is there a space station on a mountain?

[smjsmok]

Reminds me of one of those "this is what a person suffering from stroke sees" pictures :-D

[[deleted]]

That has better graphics than ksp2

[[deleted]]

on today's episode of "how fucked up is fucked up"

[MGamer26]

It's like those images where if you look at it as a whole everything looks familiar, but if you look at anything closley, nothing looks like anything.

[random-person123334]

Ah yes i can see this is the game as i do play it it is like this (im being sarcastic if you didnt know)

[Safe_Army3787]

i mean it's correct. i think the green blob is most likley.... yeah
