Hey mates, recently I’ve developed a tool to use the GenerativeAI on the AI Horde to created random avatars and banners on lemmy. To keep things spicy, I wanted to deploy to rotate the /c/piracy banner daily, as I’ve done in a bunch of other communities like [email protected] and the lemmy.dbzer0.com.
So now this is now active!
In case you're curious,. the current prompt used is this:
"A of a (solo:1.2) {cyberpunk|steampunk|solarpunk|dieselpunk|anarchist|fantasy|science fiction} {disney pixar 3D|realistic|dreamworks 3D animation} {male|female|androgynous} {Abkhazian|Afghan|Åland Island|Albanian|Algerian|American Samoan|Andorran|Angolan|Anguillan|Antarctic|Antiguan|Argentine|Armenian|Aruban|Australian|Austrian|Azerbaijani|Bahamian|Bahraini|Bangladeshi|Barbadian|Belarusian Belgian|Belizean|Beninois|Bermudian|Bhutanese|Bolivian|Bonaire|Herzegovinian|Botswana|Bouvet Island|Brazilian|BIOT|Bruneian|Bulgarian|Burkinabé|Burundian|Cabo Verdean|Cambodian|Cameroonian|Canadian|Caymanian|Central African|Chadian|Chilean|Chinese|Christmas Island|Cocos Island|Colombian|Comorian|Congolese|Congolese|Cook Island|Costa Rican|Croatian|Cuban|Curaçaoan|Cypriot|Czech|Danish|Djiboutian|Dominican|Dominican|Timorese|Ecuadorian|Egyptian|Salvadoran|English|Equatorial Guinean|Eritrean|Estonian|Swati|Ethiopian|European|Falkland Island|Faroese|Fijian|Finnish|French|French Guianese|French Polynesian|French Southern Territories|Gabonese|Gambian|Georgian|German|Ghanaian|Gibraltar|Greek|Greenland|Grenadian|Guadeloupe|Guamanian|Guatemalan|Guernsey|Guinean|Bissau-Guinean|Guyanese|Haitian|Heard Island|Honduran|Cantonese|Magyar|Icelandic|Indian|Indonesian|Iranian|Iraqi|Irish|Manx|Israelite|Italian|Ivorian|Jamaican|Jan Mayen|Japanese|Jersey|Jordanian|Kazakhstani|Kenyan|Kiribati|North Korean|South Korean|Kosovan|Kuwaiti|Kyrgyzstani|Laotian|Latvian|Lebanese|Basotho|Liberian|Libyan|Liechtensteiner|Lithuanian|Luxembourgish|Macanese|Madagascan|Malawian|Malaysian|Maldivian|Malinese|Maltese|Marshallese|Martiniquais|Mauritanian|Mauritian|Mahoran|Mexican|Micronesian|Moldovan|Monégasque|Mongolian|Montenegrin|Montserratian|Moroccan|Mozambican|Myanma Burmese|Namibian|Nauruan|Nepalese|Dutch|New Caledonian|New Zealand|Nicaraguan|Nigerien|Nigerian|Niuean|Norfolk Island|Macedonian|Northern Irish|Northern Marianan|Norwegian|Omani|Pakistani|Palauan|Palestinian|Panamanian|Papuan|Paraguayan|Peruvian|Filipino|Pitcairn Island|Polish|Portuguese|Puerto Rican|Qatari|Réunionnais|Romanian|Russian|Rwandan|Saban|Barthélemois|Saint Helenian|Kittitian|Saint Lucian|Saint-Martinoise|Miquelonnais|Vincentian|Samoan|Sammarinese|São Toméan|Saudi|Scottish|Senegalese|Serbian|Seychellois|Sierra Leonean|Singaporean|Sint EustatiusStatian|Sint Maarten|Slovak|Slovenian|Solomon Island|Somali|South African|South Georgia Island|South Ossetian|South Sudanese|Spanish|Sri Lankan|Sudanese|Surinamese|Svalbard|Swedish|Swiss|Syrian|Taiwanese|Tajikistani|Tanzanian|Thai|Timorese|Togolese|Tokelauan|Tongan|Trinidadian|Tunisian|Turkish|Turkmen|Turks and Caicos Island|Tuvaluan|Ugandan|Ukrainian|Emirati|British|American|Uruguayan|Uzbekistani|Ni-Vanuatu|Vaticanian|Venezuelan|Vietnamese|British Virgin Island|U.S. Virgin Island|Welsh|Wallis and Futuna|Sahrawi|Yemeni|Zambian|Zanzibari|Zimbabwean} pirate {standing in front of a sail|sitting in front of a monitor}, {Rococo|Digital Art|Baroque} style, wearing a {red|blue|yellow|green|black|white} {bandana|hat|scarf} and holding a {crimson|gold|silver|emerald|magic|azure|obsidian|ebony} {sword|keyboard|compass|mug|treasure|flag|club|amulet|fruit}, rich detailed {open|cloudy|stormy|sunny} sky background###multiple people, duo, cleavage, bitcoin"
Pretty long ye? The way this works is that each a random option is picked from each collection wrapped in { }
which allows me to generate versatile options every day to keep things fresh
Here’s some sample images that will be created
If you have improvements you want to see on the prompt, do let me know in the comments. In the future I’m having thoughts of allowing the community here to automatically send adjustments ideas to the prompt for funsies.
Phenomenal work as always!
My suggestion is mood and topic based prompts derived from the current trajectory of the sub, for example:
Always compared to the day before
- more swearwords = stormy weather
- more anti corporate speak = more punky/anarchist pictures
- more friendly words = sunny weather
- more people joining = more ships in the background
- more posts = more loot/gold in the background
This is pretty complex but would give it a unique adaptive vibe instead of randomness alone.
Just an idea. Thanks for reading. :)
Oh that’s a great idea! I’ll see if I can utilize this somehow. Feel free to share code as well ;)
Yo db dont let these haters get you down. I think it looks like a really cool project and love the idea of a shifting banner than anyone can contribute prompts to. I also love the idea of backgroud details being influenced by various metrics of the community.
AI is a tool (just like photoshop, electric lawn mowers, and combustion engines). Anyone who thinks its replacing artists are really underestimating the editing needed to produce something good from AI generators. And this is comming from a writer who loves how much AI has helped with various parts of the process.
AI is a tool that is fundamentally based on the concept of theft and plagiarism. The LLM training data comes from artists and creators that did not consent to their work being plagiarized by a hallucinating machine.
Man, I love a person on u/piracy arguing we can’t do something because it’s theft and plagiarism.
Keelhauling is too good for them.
You are in a piracy community
While this is very cool, and a nice idea. I have to vote aginst it. AI art is just so uncanny and soulless.
In my opinion it’d be way better to have human-drawn art as the banner. For starters AI generated “art” can’t really even be called art. “Art” implies that it has some meaning, value, message, or a memory even. AI can make art tho, when you mastered it and use it the same as painter uses a brush. I don’t think a daily random gen in compatible with putting care into what you create. If we switch the banner every day with another auto generated picture, it’ll be just that; a cool picture. But if we maybe switch it up every year (for it to not be stale) with an art competition it’ll have love in it at least, with possibilty for all kind of valuables, such as refrences or a unique style.
You could get around this issue with an avatar. A mascot (of the community) if you will. After having the mascot fed to an AI it can generate it in any position doing anything with any background, allowing us to not waste the idea of another commenter (haui), who suggested that it should be dynamic, that it should change depending on what happened the previous day. It could be refreshed daily, it could be made dynamic, and it’ll have soul.
I can’t draw. But I think I speak for others when I say that I wouldn’t mind drawing a character for a community that I can thank thousands of dollars to.

You called it art. Zer0 said images, and its just that.
I’m old enough to recall when people said electronica and sampling wasn’t music. Since then, we have Hip Hop, Daft Punk, Crystal Method, Deadmau5, and hundreds of others wasting their time with music and Grammy nominations and wins.
No reason to take such a strong stance against a daily banner that combines OP’s interests. It’s their instance, after all.
Generative imagery puts creativity in the hands of many more than are artistically or dexterously gifted enough to communicate artistically. It takes nothing away from the community, and if you prefer not to look at it, its as simple as averting your eyeballs a few degrees.

You’re acting as if making art is an ability you’re born with and you can’t make art if you weren’t gifted with it at birth. The beautiful thing about art is the skill and dedication put into the piece.
One of the main things that make humans human, is our creativity, why would we give that up?
Making art with electronics is very different to having “art” made by electronics.
But you’re not giving it up, since human-made art and AI generated images can both exist.
Sure, it could be said that AI generated images can oversaturate the internet, but a lot of sites that host art, both SFW and NSFW, have reacted by tagging AI art and allowing the user to filter them out.
There’s so many forms of art in the world and one lifetime isn’t enough to learn it all. Music, visual arts, cooking, writing, etc. I choose to focus on some art forms at the expense of others.
If the technology exists to make it easier to visually represent something on my mind and give me time to focus on my other pursuits, I’m all for it.
Look at OP’s prompt text and tell me that is not a work of art. Seriously, the ingenuity of it baffles me.
you can tell there’s something off, it doesn’t look human. of course it’s not a “work” of “art” nobody worked on it and it is not artistic.
There’s nothing off about the prompt? I’m not talking about the images.
We had an AI banner for months. You could have offered these suggestion any time before now. Anyway, the idea of a reusing a recognisable mascot in the GenAI art isn’t bad
I’ve got a similar opinion, but didn’t feel like expressing it before because my opinion wasn’t asked for before.
This is an anarchist server. Direct action are the words.
👉👈 but direct action is scary
Hey, this is awesome! I might have to set this up to change the banner on my own instance daily. I’ve written a decent amount of python in my time so maybe I can take a look at the code too.
Fluxa Avataria is linked on the top. PRs or suggestions welcome.
Be Weird, Download a Car, Generate Art, Screw Copyrights
Captain be taking his motto onto other levels
The fingers on that mug, which also doesn’t have a handle, lmao
Do you feel like a clever boy now?
Always.
i dont like them. They look like the millionth ai-art-post and i am sick of this. I would prefer some ascii/ansi art - its more nerdy and fits more to the releases we consume.
I really don’t have a say as a user on another server, but I’d think you should do what you want because a pirate is free.
Plaster AI generated images everywhere on the background.
Change the webui font to Comic Sans except set the letter h as Times New Roman.
Make everything pink, yellow and bright green so that copyright trolls manually viewing the site can’t see anything without being attacked by awful colours.
Do what your heart desires, db0. Embrace chaos, or don’t.
Not sure why people are surprised about AI images. You and this server have been using them for a while now. And many of your tools (e.g. Overseer) imo are great uses of AI.
Hello! The idea is phenomenal, although I feel that some or most of the genAI images look uncanny usually. I would honestly prefer human made arts, but those could be really costly, so that’s totally understandable. I’m impartial on this decision tho, do anything you like! ^^
Also we can lengthen the rotation process tho. A weekly or monthly change would be plenty sufficient, but it’s just a small preference.
I wonder if I can set up an image AI that only takes images from big company copyrights (with some weighting), also advertising
Why ^^ You can train a lora/checkpoint on those indeed
Dropping by to say I’m against the AI banners. The various reasons have been laid out and bickered about plenty already, just throwing my opinion in the ring. I think it’d be cooler to put a call out to the community for artists to whip up some banners with their tag for promotion and cycle through those, but that’s just me.
I’m not here to die on a hill and argue so don’t @ me if you’re just tryna fight.
