I am extremely excited for this project, but I don't know what themes I will be working with yet. As I have been playing with the randomized generators, I find myself having more fun just naturally searching and playing with the AI image generator. My personal favorite generator so far is NightCafé because it has the largest variety and even lets you have access to some highly sofisticated models for free! I have a feeling I will be sticking to using NightCafé for my project and doing a combination of intentional and fake glitches, making a series of hybrid glitch images. So far, I am having a lot of fun with SDXL 1.0, SDXL 0.9, SDXL Beta, Stable Diffusion v2.1, and DALL-E 2. Some of my favorite presets are the Anime v1 and v2, NightCafé's preset, 3D Game v1 and v2, Detailed Goulash, Candy v2, Mecha, and Artistic Portrait. NightCafé allows you to remix prior images with updated details and presets, so I have been playing with generating extremely detailed images with the Anime v2 preset and then remixing them to the different genres (EX: SDXL 1.0/0.9 + Anime v2 remixed with Mecha, 3D Game v1/v2, Detailed Goulash.) However, I have also been playing with some themes and topics that aren't things I personally thought of that were generated random text generator. I ended up generating some candy themed mall images that look incredibly cool and out of this world. I am debating on doing a theme that mostly focuses on people versus a landscape theme. The landscapes seem to turn out better, but the weirdness and non-humanlike qualities in the AI generated humans are almost scarily charming in a way. The glitches on images like that may create a scary and creepy feeling that you could create an entire image theme out of! Overall, I don't know the exact theme I am going with, but so far I am really enjoying generating images and seeing just what interesting combo the AI will spit out at me next!

Here are a few of my favorite images I have generated so far:
Theme: Low poly video game characters. Variety of search terms. Most look like this: "anime girl blue long hair angel elf" or something more fitting to the image. Used: Stable Diffusion v2.1 + Mecha/3D Game v1/v2
Reminds me of older PS2 graphics. A lot of glitching where there is empty space between the character could look really cool! (Especially if you could screen-cut them.)

Theme: "people at the mall" Used: Stable Diffusion v2.1 + Candy v2
Candyland themed mall! Some of the people almost look like people too. Love the colors, highly detailed as well.

Theme: None Used: DALL-E 2 + Anime v2 or other presets (Detailed Goulash).
Examples of remixes + glitches at the bottom, whether they improved it or not. For some of them, I really like the less detailed versions, others could be better or more interesting. For example, I am actually loving the painting-esc version of the girls holding hands and aren't much of a fan of the anime detailed version. On the other hand, I love the detailed apocalypse girl, and I love how the less detailed, more anime version came out.
