Netizen Justin Pinkney has created a new AI model that tries to create a unique Pokémon out of any word or phrase. Although the end product might not be a combat-ready partner, internet users have been creating all kinds of strange and fun new creatures, as reported first by Futurism.
The funniest and weirdest to date are based on famous people and prominent figures, including an outrageous George Bush Hello Kitty Pokémon.
Create Your Own Pokémon
Using the tool, Replicate, users can build their own machine learning models and deploy them on the cloud. This is used by Lambda Labs, which allows you to create a Pokémon based on any keyword.
It enables identifiable terms to characterize the type of the Pokémon produced using "Fine Tuning Stable Diffusion." In short, you can type in the name of a famous person to get a weird and funny-looking looking Pokémon.
"Looks like my Pokémon generator is getting some attention. Lots of interesting examples in the replies to this. It's curious how much it like to generate the circular Pokemon," Pinkney wrote in a tweet.
Pinkney posted some of his own prompts, one of which also features a Pokémon inspired by Barack Obama and the well-known "Girl with a Pearl Earring" painting.
Fine tuning #stablediffusion to make Pokemon!

I wrote a quick guide on fine tuning your own Stable Diffusion: https://t.co/hLWrOjEPTm
I also released my Pokemon model, you can try it out on Replicate: https://t.co/3sVQrk54wZ

The Rise of AI Art
Artificial intelligence-generated art is proving to be a very contentious topic, raising a great deal of anxiety among artists about the possibility of them being replaced by machine learning.
AI is rapidly developing, and it is now capable of reproducing particular artworks and stylistic elements from many artists whose works are already on sale to the general public.
There are numerous instances of this, one of which is a program called "MidJourney," in which users concentrate on mimicking existing pieces of art that are accessible online.
Using Midjourney to create a futuristic, Renaissance-inspired artwork, Colorado game creator Jason M. Allen controversially won $300 at an art contest last month.
While several social media users and other artists objected to Allen's AI-generated artwork, the designer insisted that his entry, which took him more than 80 hours to produce, qualified as a piece of digital art.
Architect Manas Bhatia has also used the program to create intricate images based on written instructions for his conceptual piece, "AI x Future Cities."
Midjourney generated a set of digital graphics using text descriptions that included terms like "futuristic towers," "utopian technology," "symbiotic," and "bioluminescent material," which Bhatia then improved by tweaking the prompts.
The results of the prompts imagined a future where residential buildings are "air purification towers" covered in lushes of green.
