Welcome to the rabbit hole, my friends. 🙃
What if instead of pushing pixels, you could simply tell your tools what changes you’d like to see? (Cue Kramer voice: “Why don’t you just tell me the movie…??”) This new StyleCLIP technology (code) builds on NVIDIA’s StyleGAN foundation to enable image editing simply by applying various terms.

By no means have I been around here long enough (five whole days!) to grok everything that’s going on here, but as I come up to speed, I’ll do my best to share what I’m learning. Meanwhile I’d love to hear your thoughts on how we might thoughtfully bring techniques like this to life.

Good technology, bad idea.
My mouth is agape. I can’t tell whether I want to play with it or ban it.
Wow. Speechless.
Please don’t use politicians and celebrities pictures for this stuff.
There’s more than enough of them already, and billions of more interesting faces in the world.
