Nice article! The generated images make me so nostalgic for the early days of AI image generation. DeepDream and others had such uncanny, interesting generations.

Yeah, generative AI used to be wild, alien creativity and not something that made art kids furious.

I wonder if models can be trained for "high-temperature" purposes. I'd rather have a model which can surprise me than one which can predicably produce generic mediocre results. I mean you can run them on high temperature of course, but it doesn't seem like it's optimized for that.
