Nvidia releases Paint me Picture – A web app for GauGAN2
I really don't have anything constructive to say. I think in general we're getting too soft on shitty things, so I'm going to be harsh.<p>I clicked through to the demo site ( <a href="http://gaugan.org/gaugan2/" rel="nofollow">http://gaugan.org/gaugan2/</a> ) and it was horrible.<p>The interface is clunky, slow, and confusing. I actually had to zoom out in my browser to see the whole thing. Had to click through a non-HTTPs warning. The onboarding tutorial is pretty bad.<p>I got a generic picture of the milky way for any prompt I tried ("rocks", "trees"). If you press Enter in the prompt field it refreshes the page.<p>This feels like a hackathon front-end hooked up to an intro to PyTorch webservice. It's only neat because, unlike the other 20 copies of this same project I've seen, it was the only one that didn't immediately throw its hands up and say "server overloaded, please wait."<p>If I'm meant to be impressed or fearful of "big data deepfake AI," this isn't it.<p>[0] <a href="https://imgur.com/BNLDt6A" rel="nofollow">https://imgur.com/BNLDt6A</a>
