AI-generated "Voynich manuscript pages"

[MarcoP]

This is extremely cool!!

I like the two centre ones (top row and bottom row) most, for different reasons.
I wonder what the tool would do with cleaned up images of the MS page(s), though the noise in the input image doesn't seem to bother the tool too much.

Hi Rene,
I am glad you enojoy these experiments! 
The tool has a huge number of parameters, but I only tried a few of them. Here, I used different prompts, so that bottom left is "a drawing by Leonardo da Vinci", while top center is "a watercolor portrait". I also varied skip_steps, where higher values produce results which are closer to the original: top-center has a much higher skip_steps value than the other images.
As you say, noise does not have any visible effect. Actually, intermediate steps when running the AI and noise is totally removed at the start of the process, with different and less noisy high-frequency data added in the following steps.

I have preset a path under "custom model" that is not created at all in my copy of Disco Diffusion v5.6. Does anyone else also have this problem ?

Hi Matthias, 
I see the same assignment and the file is not on my google drive, but for some reason this does not seem to cause any problem. I understand very little of how this all works, so I am afraid I cannot  help.
