Hijacking the Daily Challenge

Well, more like forcing evolution in the Daily Challenge...

Aren't you tired by all those dragons sitting on toilets? Would you like to understand what the Bot likes? Having a less uniform podium would be pretty, right?

I'm saying this with all the required hypocrisy, as I'm financing the start of this project thanks to a shiny dragon on a toilet: I'm tired too. We have quickly returned to that time in the past when every generation had to be a flying cat in Pixar style, but now it's with toilets to add insult to injury.

Maybe pretending for an algorithm to understand art is really too much, but this little spider would really like more variety. So, let's make an effort to change something, I remember fondly Moonbear initiatives and I'll try to channel that energy: let's force the challenge to evolve!

Here is how I'm planning to do: making the most of Moonbear lovely page, I'll give an extra prize (coming straight from my our pockets, mine and the others sponsors' - who does need yellow anyway?) to the image with the highest score whose prompt does not contain any word from a dynamic list. (dynamic because every day a single word from the previous winning prompt will be added to the list: we are trying to discover new things, after all)

The requirements are these:

  • Visible prompt. Duh (let's reinstate the honour system, while we are at it)

  • The image has to be eligible for the bigger prize, in the top10 area

  • As I already said, no words from a list: no dragon, no toilet, ... (scroll down to see the list); do you know what a synonym is? Well, let's keep clear from synonyms and variants too (if I write thumbs-up in the list, 'thumbs up' is banned too, telling this to the smart guys)

The prize will be 200 250 300 yellow (with a minimum of 50 for everyone in the case of multiple winners); if no image is eligible for it one day, the next the prize will grow by 100 yellow more. This will go on until my little winning will end (I'm piss poor and this is just a hobby) people will stop making donations.

If other creators want to pitch in, you are welcome: feel free to write a comment to coordinate better and/or give prizes to whoever you want, you are big boys and can do whatever you want.

The list

  1. toilet

  2. toilet

  3. even toilet LoRAs

  4. dragon

  5. pizza

  6. duck

  7. skate

  8. thumbs-up

  9. dapper

  10. Darth vader

  11. wookie (chewbacca is a synonim of this)

  12. stormtrooper

  13. glowing (first addition)

  14. superman/supergirl (second addition)

  15. newspaper

  16. Sunglasses

  17. Top hat

  18. Sitting on (from breakfast art challenge)

  19. wheels (from breakfast art challenge)

Maybe it would be nice, in the distant future, to make a LoRA with all the awarded images. But this is just another distant idea ATM, so I will not start asking for permissions and whatnot...

Did I write every thing needed? Most certainly not, but I'm lazy (look at this article, no colors, no special characters!). Shoo, go away, go generating something...

This extra-challenge is sponsored by:

Keeping track of winning generations

PS if Moonbear page is down, probably I'll need other ways to understand which the eligible images are T_T be patient

Pps if I'm dumb, tell me so
