Really liked your video presentation, thanks for sharing, especially the part of image generators locking us into a certain context immediately, reducing us to spectators instead of creatives.

Played a lot with p5js some years ago, might pick it up again and try some of your ideas. The reinforcement learning part sounds about above my skill level though. :)


I wonder how the image generation models that generate SVGs work.

Are they trained roughly like this? Or is it an LLM conditioned on image? Or on diffusion latents from a model trained to emit SVG-compatible imagery?


I think this actually might be one of the best ways to train people to use AI. I can see this honing people's prompting abilities and expressiveness, along with constraints and desired outcome.

Wild the possibilities


This is really really awesome

What is the JavaScript doing?

Makes me wonder, can any LLMs code in Logo? Could result in some interesting designs.

This has been done in the past countless times, there's nothing new here.

Can you post some links to other similar projects you've seen? I'd love to compare different approaches

Interesting, tell me more!
