In 2021, we created a research demo that brought amateur drawings to life through animation — today, we're open-sourcing the code + releasing a first-of-its-kind dataset of nearly 180K annotated amateur drawings to help researchers keep innovating in this space.

My favorite instance of this is AI artwork produced from the prompt 'salmon swimming in a river'. It is a mistake, but the kind of mistake that a child would make. That is precious.

Still so much opportunity for designers to lead in giving people more transparency & agency when interacting with AI-powered experiences. Thanks @MiaD for sharing this list!

Woah! Honored to be on this list alongside women doing incredible work with AI, and excited to see more creatives in the space.

my latest #dalle obsession is dreaming up sneaker collabs

the prompt is pretty simple: “(artist), (brand) sneakers, digital art, product photography”

the results are incredible

Make digital AR fashion with just crayons and a piece of paper! 🤯

@SarahTicho's amazing project shows how the future of fashion can belong to everyone. Just draw it, photograph it and you can wear it!

I trained another model with a dataset of small painting images. I like the images and videos it is producing 🤩
