PyTTI demo for my ML for Artists class.

PyTTI demo for my ML for Artists class.

I realized last week that I'm teaching this class as if it's history. Students make projects using code that increases in sophistication (and polish and usability) every week.

Week 09 brings us to PyTTI--Python Text-to-Image. It was the best artists had in 2021. It lived behind a Patreon and was available by subscription. Your money gave you access to their community Discord server, and this was the thing of greatest value.

My results are awkward, and I might compare my excitement in those days to seeing a dog walk on two legs--not amazing in itself, but amazing it can do it at all...

From their account:

"The short version of this history is that Katherine Crowson (@RiversHaveWings) published a notebook inspired by work done by @advadnoun. Katherine's notebook spawned a litany of variants, each with their own twist on the technique or adding a feature to someone else's work."
