machine learning algorithm abstracted into abject horror in obtuse psychedelia reflecting torment

This kind of reminds me of older deep dream style images.
I miss those and the VQGAN images. I wonder if there’s a way to run those original old models and algorithms on newer hardware, faster. I feel like they were more interesting to probe around to see how the model works.
Not that the new stuff can’t be interesting to play with, it’s just that the older ones felt more like toys and less consequential.
I had the same thought. I really liked seeing psychedelic horrors produced before things got as refined as today.
Riffing on this:
Prompt: hyperrealistic - life inside the machine
Yours seem happier somehow...
Probably because I didn't use the word 'torment' lol
This would make an oustanding doom metal album cover. I'm not even much into doom yet I would hit Play in a heartbeat.
I've thought about using this kind of thing for artwork but I don't know how to feel about that. But I'm small and haven't even released anything proper so it's not like I'd pay anyone to do art for something ten people would see anyway.
What do you play? Are you in a band?
If I was, I feel like I'd pay an artist for my album covers, no matter the number of fans, for dedication to my art. But I understand musicians often are poor, so I don't know.
