Trending: Segmentation-Based Parametric Painting

Carnegie Mellon University's ingenious researchers have birthed a painting generator that's not your run-of-the-mill digital dauber. Their brainchild, a segmentation-based parametric painting marvel, dances circles around existing methods, boasting an unparalleled level of control that even a picky artist would envy.

In this groundbreaking spectacle, they've concocted a method that turns images into canvases adorned with strokes of human-like finesse and a dash of stylistic pizzazz. Forget the bland and humdrum—this is art with a flair for the dramatic.

Imagine a symphony of brushstrokes orchestrated by a segmentation-based painting process and dynamic attention maps. Inspired by the genius of human painting strategies, this approach lets the virtual brushes waltz in synchronized batches over different image regions. The result? A masterpiece that captures both the grandeur of large-scale structure and the subtlety of fine details, all while allowing the artist (or in this case, the algorithm) to dictate the stylistic rhythm.

But how does the magic happen? Picture inputting an image and a set of style parameters labeled as "realistic," "painterly," or "abstraction." Then, voilà! The system optimizes a stroke parameter vector to render a canvas approximating the original image in a stylized manner. It's like having an AI-powered art wizard at your beck and call.

This isn't just about creating art; it's about crafting an experience. Inspired by the finesse of human painters, the system adopts a layered approach, starting with broad strokes and gradually adding finer details. It's a meticulous dance, guided by dynamic attention maps that ensure every nook and cranny of the painting gets its fair share of artistic attention.

In a world where pixels meet paint, Carnegie Mellon's painting generator is the maestro conducting a visual symphony—one stroke at a time.

AI Training: Tutorial of the Day

Today, let's dive into a quick and fun tutorial on how you can harness the power of AI to spark your creativity. We're going to create a personalized short story using AI, or ChatGPT 3.5 to be specific!

The steps are simple, write a detailed prompt of the kind of story you wish to write and refine it according to the results.

Step 1: Initial Prompt: What can I include in a short story prompt for you based on Loss and War from the viewpoint of a Dog so that it becomes more interesting to read?

Output: Title: "Whispers of War"

Prompt: In a world torn apart by the ravages of war, a loyal Golden Retriever named Rex navigates the harsh realities of loss and conflict. Through Rex's perspective, explore the unbreakable bond between him and his human, a soldier deployed on the front lines. As the war unfolds, Rex uncovers a mysterious connection to a stray dog he encounters in the war-torn city. Together, they embark on a poignant journey filled with sorrow, resilience, and unexpected moments of joy, all while exploring the profound impact of humanity's choices on the lives of those who can only witness chaos through their keen senses. How does Rex cope with the absence of his beloved human, and what role does the stray dog play in shaping their destinies amidst the shadows of war?

After getting a basic response, refine it further according to your needs.

Step 2: Refined Prompt: Based on this prompt, write a short story in 200 words about the same, write in a witty manner, and capture the oblivious and innocent nature of the dog who is blissfully unaware of the gravity of the situation, but only understands the plight of its owners and tries its best to cheer them up in these dire situations.

Final Output:  In the midst of war's chaotic crescendo, Rex, a tail-wagging Golden Retriever, found himself knee-deep in a human mess. His human, a camouflage enthusiast who called himself Sergeant Snuggles (he misunderstood the concept of rank, obviously), had vanished into the chaos, leaving Rex with nothing but a chewed-up tennis ball and a profound sense of confusion.

Undeterred by the echoing booms, Rex patrolled the desolate streets, blissfully unaware of geopolitics but acutely attuned to the scent of sausages. Then, amidst the rubble, he met Spot, a street-smart pug with a penchant for dumpster diving. Spot and Rex forged an alliance, embarking on a tail-wagging escapade through the war-torn city.

As the two dogs navigated the chaos, Rex's innocent exuberance became a beacon of hope for the downtrodden soldiers. His goofy antics and slobbery kisses brought unexpected smiles to hardened faces. Spot, the street philosopher, figured that if humans were fighting over things, maybe a good old game of fetch could solve everything.

In their oblivious odyssey, Rex and Spot became the unsung heroes of the war—a duo of fur and fluff, teaching humans that sometimes, joy and camaraderie can emerge from the ruins of despair. And so, the city echoed with the laughter of soldiers and the infectious barks of two dogs who believed that happiness was the best antidote to the chaos of war.
