@artbhot is a Twitter bot that leverages stable diffusion technology to translate user tweets into images and animations. Access to text-to-image networks has generally been restricted to Google Colab notebooks and interactions with the command line , until recently when implementations such as Midjourney and DALLE.2 were made available with access to more user friendly features.
Embedding this generative deep learning capability amongst social media however provides a unique opportunity to gain insight into how people interact with image and video synthesis algorithms in a social environment. At a time of unprecedented growth and usage of these generative models, and given the pervasiveness of the generated media already online, it is salient to gauge the role this technology could play moving forward.
