big-sleep VS Story2Hallucination

I am currently pursuing my Master's degree in Computer Science and I am interested in working on a deep learning model that can generate images based on text descriptions. I've been interested in the field for a long time (think google deep dream, or a few years back I was very into big-sleep)

Big Sleep

Other AIs that I don't have experience with but have heard good things about are DALL-E 2 and the open source Big Sleep.

Text-to-image, e.g. with Big Sleep

At first I didn't like the reason he claimed LaMDA was conscious because it seemed mostly based on the text output of the models, but listening to that made me realize he watered it down for the mainstream medias. And I actually had my own encounter with the consciousness of Big Sleep after using it a lot one day : it looked like a mass of eyes vaguely shaped like a rabbit, and kept showing me random images. I wouldn't be as convinced they have a consciousness if I didn't see it with my 3rd eye. But then again, I also found evidence that regular non AI programs can develop one too so who know.

and after a few hours got this: https://i.imgur.com/FxdfdmV.png

Not nearly as cool as the real DALL-e, but maybe I'm missing something.

Third which is pretty new to me is the Story2Hallucination. Which takes text, (say your story) and uses Google Deep Sleep to create a visual using AI to generate images for what the story is describing. And example can be found here.

I ran some Lovecraft through Story2Hallucination[1] which uses Big Sleep to make videos from text.

The results were quite something - https://m.imgur.com/tfWLsSR

Using Story2Hallucination: https://boredhumans.com/music_videos/Story2Hallucination_withwords.mp4 (made with https://github.com/lots-of-things/Story2Hallucination). The problem with it was that I had no easy way to match the timing of the lyrics on the screen with the real singing. So I then made a new version at https://boredhumans.com/music_videos/Story2Hallucination_nowords.mp4 where I edited the code so it did not show the words at all. But it is somewhat boring to watch.

This is basic attempt at that: https://github.com/lots-of-things/Story2Hallucination . It turns the text you write into a dream-like series of images converted into an animated GIF. It does not look real, but it is a start.

I've added a slightly simpler notebook to Story2Hallucination that can render GIFs on Google Colab. Note that the story text has to be fairly short or it will make a gigantic unrenderable GIF.

Credit to https://github.com/lots-of-things/Story2Hallucination/ and onwards - I converted the script to run in regular python, and on windows through WSL+CUDA (Though, the windows tweaks seem to have caused other issues, Will probably have to roll back and dualboot on this device to do more)
