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 [email protected] and the lemmy.dbzer0.com.
So now this is now active!
In case you're curious,. the current prompt used is this:

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.
I am autistic. I actually hate that my brain is forcing me to reply to this drivel.
Great, so a generated image would be done at 2-10 seconds at like 200W usage. Anyway, this is a stupid argument. Even if it's not as an mp3, it's like a movie, what-the-fuck-ever.
I am also autistic, but I enjoy a good argument and will never pass up the chance to complain when people put generated images on my screen. There's more real art out there in the world to see than could be seen in a lifetime, so why should anyone waste time with computer-generated approximations of art?
We are comparing apples to oranges here, but the fact remains that serving existing content will always be cheaper than serving content one has to generate first.
And generated content can be randomized and automated, which you can't do with existing content, which is what I wanted to do
Sure you can, you just need a sufficiently diverse database of images at which to point your random number generator. No generation necessary, just aggregate human artistic output.
That's orders of magnitude harder in a bad non automated than what I'm going now for worse results and more risk. It's a frankly terrible idea
Randomly generated content is usually a bad idea on public-facing websites. Generating and displaying it automatically means you only get to inspect the results after the fact, so you're relying on the image generator to never produce something unacceptable.
Having a DB of prepared images means you can pick through and remove all the unacceptable ones before they have a chance to be displayed.
The ai horde already takes care of any problematic stuff. This is all solved
