Synthesys X, a curious extension to generate image variations using AI

It is not yet clear if it will be for the better or for the worse, but artificial intelligence is all the rage. Specifically, the artificial intelligence from which increasingly popular applications are fed. That is why today we introduce you to Synthesys Xan extension for Chrome -and who says for Chrome, says for any web browser derived from Chromium- that you may be interested in knowing as a curiosity.

If in recent months we have collected some of the most outstanding examples of end-user applications where artificial intelligence has shown that it is indeed here to stay and, most likely, to change things in a profound way, this is only the beginning. . We are talking about applications like DALL-E 2 or ChatGPT, to name the two best known and the tip of the iceberg.

Well, Synthesys X is barely a sliver compared to these, but it is very accessible and quite curious, that’s why we bring it here. To describe it briefly, Synthesys X would be a kind of DALL-E 2 designed not to create images on demand, according to the written description given to it, but to generate original images based on existing ones and to be able to use them, in the case of being protected by copyright.

This is how Synthesys X describes itself:

Synthesys X analyzes objects and patterns in any image it finds and generates new images based on their similarity and relevance to the objects/patterns found in the original image.

Synthesys X allows you to easily create your own versions of any image you find online right in your browser. No need to sign in to any additional apps or websites. The original image is not touched or reproduced.

And the best part? You will own all copyrights to your final creation, so you can share it with confidence.

In essence, you are browsing around, or looking for a specific image that you like and if you cannot use the one you find because it is copyrighted, or you want a variant, you click on the Synthesys X button and it will generate a couple of images for you in no time. more or less free variations of said image. Its operation is basic which botijo.

not everything is good, of course, and it is that depending on the image you can get a monstrosity, a very common result on the other hand in everything that comes from AI. The easiest way to make it fail is to ask it to generate images with people – monsters always come out – or animals, but it also hallucinates many other things – you put a pan on it and it makes a pot out of you…

And on the other hand, it is not possible to customize the size of the images: they are all 512×512 pixels, measurements that make Synthesys X what has been said, a curiosity which, yes, is only a small spearhead of what is to come. Also, it is very fast.

Synthesys X is available on the Chrome Store.
