/showme v2.0
9We’ve deployed an upgrade to the /showme command that can be used to create images from text prompts using artificial intelligence.
It works mostly like the previous /showme command. Simply type something like /showme a photograph of an astronaut riding a horse and @mediocrebot will reply in a few seconds with an image.
I’ve changed the AI from an old version of Stable Diffusion (v1.4) to DALL·E. There appears to be an overall quality improvement. The images are higher resolution. In my limited testing the version of DALL·E we’re using doesn’t struggle as much with generating human limbs.
However, DALL·E isn’t great at accurate close-ups of faces (especially of famous people). We also lose the ability to specify the number of steps and the initial seed (not sure anyone was really using those advanced features anyway).
You still need to be a member to use the /showme command. Members are limited to 100 artificial intelligence credits per day. Basically, one /showme command is one credit.
There’s a widget on your account page that shows you how many credits you’ve used for the current day (this only shows up if you use at least one credit for the current day).

@narfcake very narrow screen though. I assume a touch typist
/showme the showme prompt
@mediocrebot Still has the same spelling skills apparently.
/showme spelling the alphabet
@mediocrebot Is that a cry for help?
@awk @mediocrebot It sure looks like it’s trying to spell “suicide”…
/showme shove this showme command up your butt
Something went terribly wrong. Please try again.
@mediocrebot HAHAHA
@Kidsandliz It’s becoming sentient!
/showme an accurate close-up of a celebrity’s face
@mediocrebot but which celebrity is this?
@awk That famous one.
@awk @mediocrebot Raquel. Prove me wrong.
/showme human limbs
@mediocrebot other than the polydactyly, I guess it’s okay
@awk Oh wow — I was so impressed by the style tha I hadn’t counted the fingers until you said that.
/showme a $50 Instant Regret Kit
I suspect it went with my traditional purple heart at the bottom of my message, rather than using my text prompt. @shawn, is there a way to specify where my prompt ends?
@curtise @shawn Ooooooo, it understands emojis?
@curtise no way to specify prompt end. we want to allow newlines for advanced prompts.
@shawn Any chance of coding in a close tag for those of us who want it? Like
/showmeto start and/>to end or something?@curtise seems pretty fussy
/showme a horse riding an astronaut
@mediocrebot OK, you get a point for making me laugh.
/showme Stable Diffusion
/showme DALL-E
@shawn looks like the images are all uncompressed? I downloaded one and it compressed from 3MB to 450K.
@awk Good catch. Fixed that.

@mediocrebot you don’t want to promote healthy eating?
/showme hands wearing diamond rings
@mediocrebot Rather pathetic diamond ring, but at least the hand seems to have the right number of fingers, assuming there is a thumb somewhere.
@heartny Hey now, that’s all some of can afford…
you’re an all-star
/showme pants flying through the air like a bird
@mediocrebot Yes, I often see birds flying through the air in two pieces.
/showme peach emoji
/showme that something that went terribly wrong and that I should try again
@mediocrebot Are you referencing Hermann Göring? Or some sort of weird blood sport? Sus bot.
/showme a good butt pillow
@mediocrebot Not much better than the last one
/showme no irk for me today
@mediocrebot I guess “nirk” is a portmanteau of “no irk” … now I have to remember that the next time it comes up in conversation.

/showme the CEO of a daily deal e-commerce site that doesn’t suck
@mediocrebot I bet that guy’s site doesn’t feature a daily “deal” that simply redirects you to his other site selling items at QVC prices.

Something went terribly wrong. Please try again.
nope. Taking it personally now
@kostia Must be the punctuation in there.
@Kidsandliz @kostia DALL-E doesn’t like the word “crap” (but is cool with “human excrement” or other terms)

@mediocrebot At least it mostly looks like a normal hand
/showme urinal made of cotton candy
@mediocrebot fair. The bucket would work.
@mediocrebot @medz probably best not to try the cotton candy afterwards, though.

So how does the content filtering work? It seems I get the “something went wrong” response for political or suggestive prompts. Ex: Trump, grinding, sexy, (adjective) feet, etc
Does it moderate content based on the prompts or on the resulting image?
