If you click on the thumbnail above, you will find a picture that is obviously not a real picture. I used the img2img tool of Automatic1111 to generate it and the gimp to correct the limit of a character.
 
The raise of a technology that can alter the perception of reality, raises usually concerns about it's misuses.
Are you actually able to spot fake pictures ?
Here are 2 games where you can test you skills:

While some people think that AI art is not really art, some artists use AI creation softwares as a tool to create art. Core77, a website about industrial design (try to reach their "about" link at the bottom of one of their page by scrolling the page down -  🙄) reports that "Filip Filković Philatz", an artist, filmmaker and director based in Croatia created a fake Ikea catalog with bomb shelter furnitures. Click on the thumbnail above to see the page of Core77. Click here to see the pictures on Reddit.

Stable Diffusion is a tool to create pictures with keywords. Starting from a random noise, the picture is enhanced several times and the final result is supposed to be as close as possible to the keywords.

The thumbnail above links to a picture that has been generated starting from another picture hosted on Civitai , the goal of this tutorial is to provide ideas to retrieve the keywords with which the picture has been generated. The tutorial assumes that you have a functional version of Automatic1111 on your computer. It may work with other interfaces of StableDiffusion.

While this website is supposed to be a multipurpose personal blog about what I find interesting, it will probably turn into DIY-on-your-computer AI related blog. 

While I'll always try to add some personal added value in my articles, my main source of information is for the moment a list of YouTube channels. If you are interested in "diy-on-your-computer AI" generative content, like image generation or LLM text generation, you may be interested in these channels too.

You will probably notice that there is some redundancy between these channels.

This article is based on this Youtube video from Aitrepreneur

While you can find some decent Text-to-Speech tools online, like:

https://cloud.google.com/text-to-speech

https://beta.elevenlabs.io/

https://www.naturalreaders.com/

https://nextup.com/ivona/

It is harder to find free solutions to do text-to-speech on your computer like bark, to generate voice audios. I don't recommend to use this github to install Bark, because it can be tedious, especially if you already have many "pip install" solutions related to pytorch on your computer. I had for example an incompatibility that created this message: "No GPU being used. Careful, Inference might be extremely slow!" and indeed without a compatible graphic card with the correct setup of pytorch (see this "issue"), Bark is not going to do text-to-speech very well on your computer.

Younger, i used to play to this game where you have to guess a number between 1 and 1000 by giving a proposal. If you are wrong, you are being told if the number you are looking for is higher or lower.
The usual method to find the answer is usually to divide by 2 to make two collections of the same amount of numbers:

Example: The number you are looking for is 702 and is supposed to be between 1 and 1000.

500: higher (1000+0)/2 = 0
750: below (1000+500)/2= 750
625: higher (500+750)/2= 625
687: higher (625+750)/2= 687.5
718: below (687+750)/2= 718.5
702: right (687+718)/2 = 702.5
