AI 2024

[Chris M]

AI tools that I have used in earnest in 2024.
I've chosen the following 10 examples as they can all be found on HuggingFace.co.

A lot of the time I use the tools to simply change a colour, replace a piece of clothing or change an expression at the request of the customer. Joy-Caption is my most used tool. I've used it to describe artwork and photos when the customer hasn't provided their BOW. The artist/photographer will usually alter some parts, but Joy-Caption does a pretty good job.

If you want to play with the same tools, go to huggingface.co/spaces and use the search the name in italics to find the generators under the subheading 'Spaces'

1) Add 2 images to merge them together - Leffa Franciszzj
2) Removes background and adds light source - IC-Light
3) Yet another text to image creator - Flux.1 (Dev)
4) Describes an image - JoyCaption Alpha Two
5) Glamoriser - Pulid-Flux
6) Glamoriser. I added this one as it attempted to glamorise the hat as well - Pulid-Flux
7) Extends an image - ImageMagic
8) Enhances an image - Finegrain Image Enhancer
9) Changes an image using prompts - Ko Faceid
10) Change clothes - Kolors-Virtual-Try-On

Sarah Rafferty and a girl from the '70's in a hat are the only real people, and then, only on the left. Everything else is AI or drawn. Yes, I know it's hard to believe, but the horned creature isn't actually real.

Pretty amazing stuff, Chris. Thanks for posting these resources.

Thanks from me too for posting about this. I’ve not used AI much yet - apart from all countless times I actually have without realising it!

Just tried the Kolors-Virtual-Try-On in a completely ridiculous way. I like it (shame about the 'stray eye' - but easily fixed!)
