Kanye West's album covers have become iconic, and we're loving the spin that AI has put on the covers.
Posting on Reddit, u/_SEVAG_ showcased the album covers that they'd created using text-to-image AI. To create the covers, they used BigSleep AI, and typed in the title of each album.
For most of the covers, they inputted a short description, but for a few like My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, they typed in “kanye west my beautiful dark twisted fantasy” and let the AI direct the image on its own.
BigSleep takes any text prompt and visualises an image to fit the text description. Speaking about its creation, Ryan Murdock told Digital Trends that, “At a high level, BigSleep works by combining two neural networks: BigGAN and CLIP."
BigGAN was created by Google and outputs images based on random information. Meanwhile, CLIP matches images and descriptions. By combining the two, you get images outputted that are high-quality (as a result of searching through a lot of images at rapid speed), while also closely matching the descriptions inputted by the user. According to Murdock, "Generating an image to match a prompt takes about three minutes in total."
