We all know what Skynet is, right? The super intelligent network from mid '90, that took over the world in a parallel universe. And we all know, it didn't happen. Yet.

But it's lurking just around the corner, patiently waiting for its turn to emerge, with tools like Stable diffusion. Stable Diffusion is a latent text-to-image diffusion model, you can find it here to try it out yourself.

Lets also have a look at this for stable diffusion with fluent transition between start and stop frames. When I've seen it for the first time, I had in mind one thought: Magic! We're entering an era of tech miracles, indistinguishable from magic. Black Magic.

I've already mentioned here, what Netrunner is, and why do I love it. Lately, someone has used similar AI to generate graphic arts for a netrunner card set. You can find it here. Are the card arts any good? They're better than good. My god, they're better than the original set arts! Simply astonishing.

Is an AI graphic generation a breakthrough? Possibly yes. Will artists lose their jobs? Possibly not, at least not yet. Though AI generated arts can inspire, or serve as raw mockups for the endproduct.

We live in interesting times, amazing times are about to come.
