TEXT TO IMAGE DEMO

As part of our development and user research, the technical director Cristobal Valenzuela (in collaboration with Runway ML) developed a public interface to play with the text-to-image concept. We set certain conditions and let them grow in the wild, wild web.

We are thrilled to see the excitement this demo caused. It seemed to give users an immediate route for a creative expression with a machine, which inspired interesting tests .
This was mentioned at Vice Motherboard, Gizmodo, and was retweeted by Ian Goodfellow (GAN’s father).
