I got this one, which doesn't look abstract: https://1secondpainting.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/8.png

Looks like this was trained on some weeb gallery, got myself an anime waifu [0] at first click. This instantly made me remember about waifu labs [1].

how do you see anime in that?
I was confused as well. Other comments mention how the first ten images are clearly anime / manga, but I wasn’t seeing it.

The author confirmed that was indeed the case, so I’m thinking they might have corrected (replaced) those images.

I mean, it is similar to some actual pieces of abstract paintings where the texture makes the piece.
Both of your paintings are modern abstract art. ;)
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ;)
I got this one and thought it was loading...
This was my reaction too the first few times I ran the network. I thought I was going crazy.
I did get this as well! I thought it was some sort of version of Malevich:)
I used plenty of Malevich while training, so that makes sense. Glad you enjoyed.
Technically it is possible to generate that randomly, no?

Obliviously this site is fake, but that’s besides the point.

Technically yes. On the fly would be costly.
It looks like the 10 first ones are mangas. I wonder if there is a pool of pictures the AI gets inspiration from
This is just a gallery of images uploaded to a Wordpress website
Correct! I pre-generated 10,000 random seeds so I wouldn't have to rent a 24/7 GPU. The current plan is to upload a new slate of 10,000 each month.
Strangely, it's not quite the first 10. Number 0 is abstract: https://1secondpainting.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/0.png
I got lucky, I think. This one has the feel of having been influenced by Dali or Magritte: https://1secondpainting.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/9324....
This disturbed me in all the right ways.
this one speaks to me
I got this one, and had the same reaction as you:

Haha yes, I first tested this with procedurally generated anime characters and must have forgot the first 10. Thanks for pointing it out.
