###### How to contribute to the Pony Preservation Project: * Replicate our work - Post in the thread, ask for help, understand how we do the things we do. * Learn about AI - Read and discuss AI, try it out, make your own AI models. * Start new things - Work with data, play around with new AI models, apply pony AI to new things. Post data dumps & colab notebooks. * Figure out how to make things better and show us. * Play with AI models to make content, experiment with pony data, and see what new things you can get AI models to do. * Help others use AI, create tools, explain things. We want the ENTIRE BOARD to be AI-capable. AI is a MULTIPLIER on the amount and kinds of content we can create. * Make your waifu real. Do the hard stuff, push yourself. ###### Panel * Slides: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1KIL7_jhLP0WR8rVoJeoRXryOMk7oeo-VvloVVxfNncU * Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UY_M4DrGJbI * Backup video: https://pony.tube/w/2KzzQzvv4FCewycSBR64mw * Contains information about speech conversion, music generation, an overview of available tools, and advice for making high-quality AI content. * Presented on Jul 1, 2023 * Planning doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TPLZzSZzoBG5EC24khz0Lw6UbwpIgf7mZNIlrc7kvKU ###### Previous panels * 2020: https://pastebin.com/qwNWzPYL * Contains an overview of the Pony Preservation Project and information on contributing. * 2021: https://ponepaste.org/5312 * Contains information about speech generation, chatbots, and audio production for AI skits. * 2022: https://ponepaste.org/7521 * Contains information about song generation, text generation, datasets, and animation tooling. ###### Overview documents: - Quick Start Guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PDkSrKKiHzzpUTKzBldZeKngvjeBUjyTtGCOv2GWwa0 - Master Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1y1pfS0LCrwbbvxdn3ZksH25BKaf0LaO13uYppxIQnac ###### AI tools and models: - Hay Say voice generation: https://github.com/hydrusbeta/hay_say_ui - Vul's voice conversion models: https://huggingface.co/therealvul/so-vits-svc-4.0 - Hazy's voice conversion models: https://huggingface.co/datasets/HazySkies/SV3/tree/main - Stable Diffusion Web UI for image generation: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui - AstraliteHeart's image generation models: https://huggingface.co/AstraliteHeart - Hoers text generation models: https://huggingface.co/ewits - GPT-PNY text generation model: https://huggingface.co/Amo/GPT-J-6B-PNY ###### Datasets: - Clipper's Master File 1 (speech data): https://mega.nz/#F!L952DI4Q!nibaVrvxbwgCgXMlPHVnVw - Clippper's Master File 2 (other datasets): https://mega.nz/folder/0UhSmYAB#WBrB-qCprQTofkAhwMp5CQ - Clipper's Pony SFX & BGM: https://mega.nz/folder/0UhSmYAB#WBrB-qCprQTofkAhwMp5CQ/folder/4Yp2WKjB - Synthbot's Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/2/folders/1MuM9Nb_LwnVxInIPFNvzD_hv3zOZhpwx - tekkithorse's text datasets: https://huggingface.co/tekkithorse
