Cute cats, but squint your eyes

interestingly, the thumbnail gives it away immediately.

Feel like those cats are trying to tell me something.
- Especially the two legged one
Would love to gift this to an homophobic person
- Full on send it to a professional printer and have it framed, then claim it's a photo of Aintie Rhonda's kitties.

Those kittens have been hanging out with these puppies.

These have to be AI generated right?
- Yep, has that signature AI image look.
- It's that or some kind of next-level art project
What's the prompt to get this stuff done? This looks wild and interesting.
- I suspect these are using additional tools to guide the AI beyond a simple prompt. For example the spiraling medieval village was generated with stable diffusion and controlnet.

- I think the prompt is not much other than "puppies" and "kittens". Major, middle and minor features of the image can be controlled individually in some AIs (they can be differentiated using a Fourier transform or Gauss convolutions and fed into different discriminators) so I think:
  
  major features (scenery) are controlled by the prompt (grass or couch)
  
  middle features (text) are a source image that the AI is punished for straying from
  
  minor features (details) are controlled by the prompt (faces and fur)
  
  Or it's just Stable Diffusion that starts with a text rather than random noise.
- Not sure what this prompt was, since I didn't make this one. I linked the site I used above, and they're pretty simple to do but need a few tries to get a good one.

How do they make these?!

Stable Diffusion together with Controlnet. You basically feed it the text as a black and white image and provide it with a description of the picture of cats. It will then generate this output while using the black and white image as a base. It's fairly simple to do but it can take a while to get a quality result such as this one.
- That sounds pretty complicated. I've just been plugging the text and description into this site: https://glif.app/@fab1an/glifs/clmqp99820001jn0f2xywz250
- yoo i made a thing https://files.catbox.moe/egdau8.png
First off you need a mummy cat and a daddy cat
- Wrapped in paper mummy or a parent mummy?
Copyright infringement, just like how they make any other meme.
- Even if this were a meme made of some IP, it would fall under fair use.
- Lol

these images are so fascinating

These AI pictures look great until you zoom in. There's all sorts of funky stuff going on with the cats' faces.

I'm so saving this

Same, now I have something to reply my wife with, when she sends me smut memes, instead of just emojis like an idiot.

What sorcery is this?

I seem to have a really hard time at these.

I couldn't get one of them without knowing what it should say.

What does it say? I can one or two letters

"send nudes"

Try holding the phone (or computer screen) further away. That's what helps me.
- Tried that. I only can see it if I know what words it should be
Zoom out. The text is clearly visible in thumbnail.
And this is how you find that you are colorblind.
If you’re on mobile, tilt the phone away from you.
On my phone if I tilt it so the screen is at an extreme angle I can see it. If I look straight on I find it hard to see.
I'm able to read it easily if I squint really hard, to the point that my eyes are nearly closed. Alternatively, it's clear as day when I just look at the thumbnail.
I had a hard time with this too, I didn't even know there were supposed to be words. What finally did it was actually squinting, like so much that my eyes are nearly closed and I can just see a little between my eyelashes. Then it stands out clear as day.
