/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Tried to get AI to generate a decent one in the style of Rob Liefeld (early 90s, specifically). Out of hundreds of generated images that were a varied combination of gory, gay, NSFW, and surreal, I think this one is as good as it's gonna get. Man, it is really hard to generate sloppy, hastily-drawn comic book art, ChatGPT4 & Dall-E kept making everything look crisp as though McFarlane or Lee drew it.

I did this on and off for about a month. Weird to do in your spare time. Anyway, I uploaded a few highlights to this album if anyone's interested: https://postimg.cc/gallery/Rq8CBys

New band name. I'm calling dibs

Batlhvatlh would make a fantastic Metal band name

It could be a whole subgenre:

Batlvatlh Metal

Oh man I think you just created something. Excellent idea

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

brilliant lol I think you guys are on to something

How does this AI thing work? Cuz I would absolutely abuse it to create a tenforward metal opera band

I have a ChatGPT subscription and have access to DALL*E 3, which is integrated into ChatGPT 4, which I used to generate these images. I'm no expert, I just try to describe the image to generate as best as I can. It can get tricky sometimes if you try to generate copyrighted material; like, it can return a pretty decent-looking ship that looks close to the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-A, but it won't do it if you ask for Discovery.

DALL*E 2 (the previous version) is available for free at https://openai.com/dall-e-2. It's not as good, though. I fed it one of the prompts I used in v3 and it returned stuff like this: https://i.postimg.cc/V61KR6vK/DALL-E-2024-01-10-21-03-29-klingon-opera.png. That's all I got, sorry. Hope this was helpful.

I looked into music generation AI. Couldn't find anything that didn't require money. Which is fine, I'm all for people getting paid.

I just wanted to generate some tracks and mix them myself into something silly. No clue what the status of AI vocals is though, and a klingon opera metal singer is key.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

aw shet, I thought you were talking about generating a pic of a fictional Klingon metal opera band. You're thinking of actual audio! I dunno, I've heard AI-generated music has gotten better as of late, but I really don't know what's possible or even where one would start. Yeah, some real tracks we could listen to would be badass!

Oh yeah I want to go all out for 2:30 of ridiculousness and post it here.

Shut up and take my money! The AI as a whole concept deserves to be the collaborator on this. It's perfect. 🤘🏼🔥
