I used DallE to create default avatars on my Creator community website

I'm an indie dev and I built a community for creators to get together and collaborate with each other. Mostly for amateur creators, but some famous ones use it as well. It has about 700k users so far. There are about 100k of those users who don't bother to upload an avatar, so they've had a boring default avatar for nearly 7 years. Today, I used my credits on DallE to do make them a bit more fun. Since the creators self-identify, I was able to create specific kinds of avatars for them. For example, if a creator is a writer, my DallE prompt would be: "an oil painting portrait of a…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

I'm an indie dev and I built a community for creators to get together and collaborate with each other. Mostly for amateur creators, but some famous ones use it as well. It has about 700k users so far. There are about 100k of those users who don't bother to upload an avatar, so they've had a boring default avatar for nearly 7 years. Today, I used my credits on DallE to do make them a bit more fun. Since the creators self-identify, I was able to create specific kinds of avatars for them. For example, if a creator is a writer, my DallE prompt would be: "an oil painting portrait of a serious-looking owl, standing in front of a typewriter" Voice Actor: "oil painting portrait of a robot who is made out of a microphone, wearing a hat and headphones" Comic Illustrator. This one was a little more tough, so I chose 'tablet' as my key object: "Oil painting portrait of a brooding chameleon, wearing headphones and a hoodie, standing in front of tablet" Producer: "Oil painting portrait of a happy hedgehog with headphones on, wearing sunglasses, standing in front of a megaphone" All four images on this thread: https://twitter.com/_buf/status/1564327370219261954 Overall, I generated over 200+ new avatars. What a fantastic bit of tech!

    Pornpen.ai – AI-Generated Porn▲711

    Hey HN, I've been working on https://pornpen.ai, a site for generating adult images. Please only visit the site if you are 18+ and willing to look at NSFW images. This site is an experiment using newer text-to-image models. I explicitly removed the ability to specify custom text to avoid harmful imagery from being generated. New tags will be added once the prompt-engineering algorithm is fine-tuned further. If the servers are overloaded, take a look at the feed and search pages to look through past results. For comments/suggestions/feedback please visit…
