Let’s hook it up to a sentiment and toxicity model, and then if you’re being too negative online, it will start to deform you into a monster, we could have a real Picture of Dorian Gray!

Prize for the most power-hungry mirror.

I also notice that the paintings are not stable over small changes in the inputs.

Is there any way to freeze some of the images?

I thought some of them would be awesome to keep (e.g. pfp or lockscreen photo).

I think the low framerate adds a unique ambience, at least to me, watching the recorded videos. It gives time to appreciate the art style and generated features. It also feels like a time lapse of gradual changes. I could imagine it being annoying to look at in real time though.

I would love to see you add a networking layer so that I could connect my frame to a random one somewhere in the universe. Then I could see another person through this style transfer. They could see me. It would be like an art chat roulette.

It would be cool to intercept the input from a webcam, transform it like this, and then present it to the OS as another virtual camera so you could select it in Teams or Zoom or whatever.

I don't have anything to say about the artistic value, but as a part-time tool collector with dreams of being a handy person, this passage was the most interesting:

I used a puncher to cut a hole in the frame’s cardboard for the camera (drills didn’t work).

I would love some more detail, or just people's interpretations ... in what manner can a drill fail to "work" on cardboard? There can be issues with tearing, perhaps, that I think punching works around nicely.

This really does change the interaction with art. As a future expansion it might be neat to recognize images on camera that would make for interesting art (i.e. detection of people/animals or recognition of certain styles of composition) as well as being able to choose amongst different styles.

It seems sort of akin to some modern art that incorporated TV screens and video to make dynamic installations, like Nam June Paik.

reminds me of the classic 80's "Take on Me" music video
