It's great to see a tool that makes it easier to generate diversity in online images. A few interesting use cases also come to mind, for example ads targeting by ethnicity or allowing online shoppers to preview how different color schemes look against their skin tones before purchase. Congrats Lisha & team, excited to see this scale!!

@steph_sher Thanks so much Steph! Helping users and brands serve up more relevant and diverse images is very exciting to us!

WOW this is super cool, well done Lisha & Dzimitry! I think even more than the need to “diversify” stock photo content, the “optimal” stock photo that a website should show you vs. me vs. @katmanalac vs. my grandmother is different and websites could show dynamically generated stock photos. It would be interesting to test but I suspect stock photos that look like you are more likely to convert than stock photos that look very unlike you. I think combining this with some of the incredible “try-on clothing” GAN work work will also be really interesting: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1911.07926... https://arxiv.org/pdf/1908.08847... I’d love to hear a bit more about your “novel” methods to include backgrounds in the generated photo if you don’t mind sharing (totally understand if it’s your secret sauce). I’ve been holding on to www.aistockphotos.com to work on something similar but I’m giving the state-of-the-art another year or so to iron out some of the kinks (particularly around asymmetries/artefacts near the teeth and eyes). It’s a super exciting space. Congrats on your launch - I just subscribed and look forward to beta testing! :)

@katmanalac @alxcnwy Thanks Alex! I agree that dynamic serving of visuals is an exciting application of this, given the tech enables such fast and easy iterations. Linking variants with how much lift is generated will be the tricky thing to solve in order to capture value. We haven't published any of our methods yet, but may consider doing it in a future machine learning conference. So will keep you posted!

@lisha_li1 sounds good, looking forward to it!

Cool product! While the stock photo/ad application seems benign to me, I wonder whether there are ethical concerns about working in the area of synthetic media. For instance, the technology could be re-purposed to create convincing fakes for the purpose of misinforming around elections (in the same way there have been concerns around text synthesis and deep fake videos.) I wonder if there are any thoughts about this part of the technology at Rosebud AI?

@jim_kleban Absolutely, and thanks for asking. We take the ethical use of this tech very seriously. Being at the forefront of applying this tech gives us the opportunity to educate the public about its capabilities, and steer usage towards creative and positive use cases. Building a platform for it helps us moderate its usage towards these goals. Here's our Code of Ethics linked in the footer: https://www.generative.photos/co...

Very impressive! How many photos can you generate in a day?

@patricklor Thanks for checking us out Pat! Our processing time per photo with one GPU is ~ 40 second. With multiple GPUs we can bring that down much lower, which is what we did to process the collection under a day. We're trying to learn whether speed is a priority for current customers, and thus have not optimized for speed yet, but will do if it is a high priority for users. For instance, if video is a more pressing use case, or having dynamic adjustments in seconds, we will make processing even faster.

I wanted to make something like this for adverts but I wasn't smart enough good luck. I think you have a very large market for this product.

@none_none4 Thank you, definitely excited to test out the dynamic ad use case among other things.

The quality of the generated faces is jaw-dropping. I would definitely use this to create dynamic images for blog thumbnails, and as hero images for landing pages.

@sssaini Thanks Sukhpal! Thrilled they can be used!

Interesting idea!
Yasaman Bahri
The images here look amazing!! And this is just a first launch. It's an interesting idea and in my opinion a very well-chosen use case for current state-of-the-art tech in generating images. Excited for what's to come!

@yasaman_bahri Thanks Yasaman! We're excited to bridge the gap between research and applications. It actually helps drive us to develop new architectures and methods, which we hope to share in future machine learning conferences!

I was excited to check it out, but the site currently returns a 404 Lisa, I just wanted to let you know

@javpet Thanks for the heads up Peter, have been getting a lot of traffic. Are you still having issues?
Peter Javorkai
@lisha_li1 Nope, it works now! Awesome! Wow a lot of comments you got == lot care. Keep it up!
