Just a quick update, today. Amy and I were toying with the Gallery the other night and created something fun. It all started when we noticed a picture of Baby Einstein on the wall. No, not that one, the old German guy with the speeding problem. Anyways, we thought the picture was adorable, and it seemed a simple thing to write up, so I added a new mode to the gallery.

The code isn't terribly interesting, it just pulls randomly from several of the arrays I had made for other modes. 


        
        {% if is_state('input_boolean.gallery_mode_babby_form', 'on') %}
            {{ ( state_attr('input_select.gallery_modifier_famous_person', 'options') | 
                 reject('eq', states('input_select.gallery_mode_babby_form_adj') ) | list | random ) }} photograph of {{kodi}} 
                 
            {{ ( [ ( state_attr('input_select.gallery_modifier_famous_person', 'options') | 
                 reject('eq', states('input_select.gallery_modifier_famous_person') ) | list | random ), 
                 
                   ( state_attr('input_select.gallery_modifier_fictional_character', 'options') | 
                 reject('eq', states('input_select.gallery_modifier_fictional_character') ) | list | random ), 
                 
                   ( state_attr('input_select.gallery_modifier_historical_figure', 'options') | 
                 reject('eq', states('input_select.gallery_modifier_historical_figure') ) | list | random ), 
                 
                   ( state_attr('input_select.gallery_modifier_superhero', 'options') | 
                 reject('eq', states('input_select.gallery_modifier_superhero')) | list | random ), 
                 
                   ( state_attr('input_select.gallery_mode_out_of_place_characters_characters', 'options') | 
                 reject('eq', states('input_select.gallery_mode_out_of_place_characters_characters') ) | list | random ) ] | random ) }}
                 
                  {{ ( state_attr('input_select.gallery_modifier_famous_person', 'options') | 
                 reject('eq', states('input_select.gallery_mode_babby_form_actions')) | list | random ) }}
                 
                 {{  ( state_attr('input_select.gallery_modifier_famous_person', 'options') | 
                 reject('eq', states('input_select.gallery_mode_babby_form_pants')) | list | random ) ]
            }}, as a baby, 
        {% endif %}

It looks worse than it is.

So each of these blocks:

{{ ( state_attr('input_select.gallery_modifier_famous_person', 'options') | 
     reject('eq', states('input_select.gallery_mode_babby_form_adj') ) | 
     list | random ) 
}}

is basically doing the same thing. It pulls a random element from an input_select (which I am just using as an array). These input_selects are all full of the sorts of things you would expect, based on their names:

These go on for awhile.

You get the idea. Anyways, it couples these groups of people into a large sort of hodge podge hash, and picks one. It couples that with the selectors I made just for this project.
So our prompt ends up looking like:

adj photograph of subj, action, pants, as a baby.

Now what is in each of these doesn't really matter that much. They are just to give some flavor and variety to the images, so they don't end up all looking alike. I will add and remove things from these lists regularly, as I come up with new ideas or see results indicating older ideas that didn't work out.

This is what adj looks like:

gallery_mode_babby_form_adj:
  name: gallery_mode_babby_form_adj
  options:
       - "adorable"
       - "cute"
       - "embarrassing"
       - "fussy"
       - "newspaper"
       - "dslr"
       - "candid"
       - "polaroid"
       - "security camera footage"
       - "baby monitor shot"
       - "nursery"
       - "playground"
       - "jungle gym"
       - "swingset"
       - "black and white"
       - "full color"
       - "digital"

What sort of photograph is it?

So at random, we'll choose 'embarrassing', and from the lists above we'll choose Genghis Khan.
embarrassing photograph of Genghis Khan, action, pants, as a baby.
Good, getting there. Now baby photos are cute and all, but they should probably be doing something, yes? That is where the action array comes in.

gallery_mode_babby_form_actions:
  name: gallery_mode_babby_form_actions
  options:
       - "drooling on their bib"
       - "dressed for halloween"
       - "first day of preschool"
       - "first steps"
       - "finger painting"
       - "having a tantrum"
       - "with their blanket"
       - "eating pudding"

What is the tyke up to?

embarrassing photograph of Genghis Khan, having a tantrum, pants, as a baby.

Wait, pants?

Yes, after the first day of testing, it was unanimously decided that this was needed. I don't know why pictures of babies running around naked are so common, but that fed into the stable diffusion training data. I definitely don't need to see that, so we hard coded pants.

gallery_mode_babby_form_pants:
  name: gallery_mode_babby_form_pants
  options:
       - "wearing a sailor suit"
       - "in a cute jumper"
       - "with pants"
       - "wearing a diaper"
       - "wearing overalls"
       - "in a one-piece"
       - "in pajamas"
       - "wrapped up tight"

You'll thank me for this when you're older, kid.

Picking one at random, we now have a complete sentence:

embarrassing photograph of Genghis Khan, having a tantrum, wrapped up tight, as a baby.

Let's send this to Bob and see what he comes up with -

Isn't he just precious?

Now AI baby pictures are nothing new, but it was a fun way to spend a couple hours. Here are some of our favorites so far:

Benny Kenobi, Winnie Churchill, President Obama, Jason, Stevie Strange, Marty King, Annie Skywalker, Leo Don Raph and Mike, Davie Bowie

Freddie K, Luke Skywalker, Amy Earhart, Johnny Picard, Mikey, Baby Skeletor, Optimus Prime, Sammy Clemmens, and Albi Einstein
