This house does not exist
- OrangeMonkey 4y agoI feel like we are at the tipping point where the ability to generate scenes/faces/houses/art that can reliably fool human senses becomes commonplace.
- guerrilla 4y agoWhat? None of those look like real houses... It looks like video game quality at best and almost all of them have some aspects that make no sense at all.

- rozularen 4y agothe next level would be the A.I making "sense" of the interior spacing or the layout in general so it could generate more accurate houses
- nwomack 4y agoEven better than making sense of it, but just give the AI all of the parameters that you want to build or remodel a house and have it give you a 90% complete model that an architect/designer can finish off, reducing overall cost and time.

- lauri_jo 4y agoNot sure if my experience generalises well, but a few of those houses generated were impossible to build.
- meltedcapacitor 4y agoYeah same, more a collage generator than an architect. It's less convincing than the other projects like this, wonder if it's a uniquely hard problem or a weakness of this particular implementation.
- userbinator 4y agoIndeed, https://thishousedoesnotexist.org/assets/houses/3027276.png https://thishousedoesnotexist.org/assets/houses/3027276.png reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impossible_cube https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impossible_cube
- OJFord 4y agoWhat am I missing? It looks a bit whacky and expensive/James Bond villain lairy, but what's inherently unbuildable?
- userbinator 4y agoLook carefully at the perspective.
- Turing_Machine 4y agoThat's not all that uncommon with human architects, either, at least if you go by what the contractors say.
- betaby 4y agoI refreshed ~10 times - all images had escher-like impossible elements.
- dimensionc132 4y agoIn some parallel universe it does
- xhrpost 4y agoNeat, but feels like it was trained or prompted for luxury homes. I clicked threw a couple dozen images but everything had that style of multi-million dollar mansion/condo with a pool and only glass for walls. Nothing even remotely suburban or rural. Curious if this is due to the prompts (assuming this is SD sourced) or due to the training of the AI model.

- burlesona 4y agoIt's interesting to me, the model does not know what a house is like, it knows what pictures of houses are like. So it does a good job of making pictures that look like pictures of houses. But if you look closely, a lot of the details are really weird, unbuildable, or just non-sensical. All of the image-gen models have this problem - look at the hands and faces in the generated images of people and there are often bizarre deformations. It's fascinating because it's the opposite of how children learn to draw. They tend to think about the pieces that make a thing and then try to put all the pieces on paper, and they end up making a drawing that (for instance) looks nothing like a person but has two eyes, a nose, a mouth, etc. in roughly the right relation to each other. (They rarely draw ears though!) The child is thinking about "what makes a face a face" and then trying to represent it. The ML model is sort of distributing pixels in a probabilistic way that comes up with something very similar to the pixels in a sample image in its training set, superficially much better than a kids drawing and yet in some ways much worse upon close inspection.

- kazinator 4y ago> a lot of the details are really weird, unbuildable, or just non-sensical. You would see a lot more of these on the images that didn't make the gallery.
- onefish 4y agoI don't know if it's just me, but it seems to only generate luxury homes in a contemporary minimalist / modernist architectural style. Not once did it generate anything resembling a Tudor mansion or Victorian cottage or Midwestern rancher or split level. Nothing really wrong with that and it's neat anyways, but seem to represent its own sort of strange bias in a sense.
- Turing_Machine 4y agoIt does seem to love lots of glass and flat roofs, doesn't it?
- kazinator 4y agoIf it was done text-to-image, what you see is the result of using the same prompt. E.g. in Stable Diffusion, from a single prompt like "modern residential interior, concrete, glass, wood", you can generate a vast number of images, using different seed values. The images will have something in common due to the prompt. The Tudor mansions are almost certainly there in the training data, but not being selected for.
- pax 4y agoNoob questions: Are these images that cheap to generate (once the model is trained) that we can get a new one fast on each browser refresh? Are all the _this x doesn't exist_ generators based on similar scripts, only the training datasets differ, or are they somewhat tuned for the specific domain?
- fragmede 4y agoGenerate time is a touch too high right now to do it live unless you're userbase is exceptionally patient but you could run a batch process across a bunch of machines for a while to achieve a similar effect.
- boosteri 4y agoI'm waiting for "this AI does not exist"
- kretaceous 4y agoWelp, here you go. https://thisaidoesnotexist.com/ https://thisaidoesnotexist.com/ It was on HN a few months back.
- walrus01 4y agoI'm waiting for the crossover with McMansion Hell where somebody uses similar image generation to generate the exteriors and interiors of McMansions.
- bell-cot 4y agoJudging by recent generations of McMansions in my part of the U.S., that technology was "perfected" some time ago. I'm waiting for Zoning Boards, Planning Commissions, etc. to get their hands on that tech. - and (BIG ASK!) outright ban construction of anything which looks like it might have been generated by it.
- kazinator 4y agoJust a gallery of AI-generated images on a theme. Brace yourselves for a deluge of these.
- nopenopenopeno 4y agoSeems to have been trained on CG renders of houses instead of actual photos of houses.
