The GPT Vision Preview: A Journey of Synthetic Image Creation
As I sat down to work on this project, I decided to put it down to five seconds and think that would be good enough. However, I soon realized that there was something about the system that prevented me from running the preview too many times. This was due to a rate limit on the GPT Vision preview, which ensured that I couldn't run it excessively without consequences.
In order to proceed, I had to set up my reference image path. I went to Google and searched for famous images, eventually finding an Evo Gyma race flag image that I deemed suitable for use as a reference. I created a folder with the image, titled it "ref image," and was ready to move forward.
I decided to run the preview with Python 3.9. The script started executing, and I watched as the synthetic images began to appear in my folder. I stopped the process after running for five iterations, feeling that it had reached a satisfactory point. Upon examining the first synthetic image, I was pleased to see that it had turned out well, but I couldn't help thinking that the reference image was too famous and might detract from the overall effect.
I decided to try again with an alternative reference image, this time choosing a Breaking Bad Walter White profile picture. The script began running once more, and I watched as the synthetic images evolved over time. To my surprise, the result turned out to be quite impressive, with the gas mask transforming into various forms throughout the process.
The Evolution Process: A Journey Through Steampunk
As the script continued to run, it introduced elements of steampunk into the image, adding a unique twist to the character's appearance. I was struck by how seamlessly this transition had occurred, and how the final product had become a striking representation of Walter White's alter ego.
The Evolution Process: A Journey Through Retro Computing
Next, I decided to run another script that utilized an existing image from my collection. This time, I chose an illustration from the 1990s depicting a computer setup with a Python snake. The result was nothing short of remarkable, as the synthetic image evolved into a vibrant and colorful representation of retro computing.
The Limitations of the System
While I was pleased with the results, I couldn't help but acknowledge that there were some limitations to the system. In particular, the recognition of certain images was inconsistent, with some being identified correctly while others were not recognized at all.
Despite these limitations, I felt that the results had been impressive, and I was eager to continue experimenting with the script. By pushing the boundaries of what is possible with synthetic image creation, we can unlock new possibilities for artistic expression and innovation.
Conclusion
As I concluded this project, I couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment and excitement for the future possibilities that lay ahead. The GPT Vision preview had proven to be a powerful tool in its own right, capable of generating stunning synthetic images with relative ease.
In the coming days and weeks, I plan to continue refining the script and exploring new ideas for artistic expression. By doing so, we can unlock new levels of creativity and innovation in our field.
