Unsplash, but for AI

Elon announced today that once the clock strikes noon PST, Twitter’s algorithm will be made open source. This could be big news for any budding makers who want to take a shot at making a new Twitter.

We’ve all seen the amazing capabilities of AI generation when it comes to art and photography. A prime example is the photo of the Pope with some serious drip. It had the Internet fooled for a moment.

What’s behind this? Well, outside of the backend technology handling the AI generation, there is one thing that makes or breaks photo generation, and that’s prompts. Prompts are integral; the better the prompt, the better your result.

How do you craft a great prompt? It relies on giving clear instructions, what you want to be generated, what style you want it generated in (oil painting, modern art, etc), and, importantly, what things to avoid.

Meet UnPrompt. It’s like Unsplash but for AI. You can search for images based on a topic of your choice or upload your own image for reference. UnPrompt will then feed you back relevant images, each with instructions on what tool to use and a breakdown of the ideal prompt to get there.

Mike, the founder of UnPrompt, decided to build the tool after finding it difficult and time-consuming to constantly tweak prompts to get the result he wanted. It’s currently in its infancy, but with more features coming, such as extra filters, third-party integrations, a better NSFW filter, and more.
