"Astronaut Horse: Stable Diffusion Artist Collaborations" by Tom Betthauser (Strange Loop 2023)

Open source generative AI tools have the potential to help us fundamentally redefine our relationship to the creative process. This applies to visual artists as much as it does to creative writers, musicians and software developers.
Starting at the Recurse Center in late 2022 a group of developers, researchers and fine artists began collaborating to develop a series of tools taking advantage of Stable Diffusion by way of resources made available by fast.ai and Hugging Face, which has generously supported us with an ongoing Community GPU grant.
This talk would share the tools built, artworks generated and lessons learned from the project so far including select images generated by fine-tuned artist models and physical artworks made in response by collaborating artists.
