Greater than fiction

This is a submission for the Cloudflare AI Challenge.

What I Built

cat-nerd

I built an application which given a set of animals, and fictional universes, generates an image.

The functionality is simple, but is split between a Page for the front-end, and a Worker for the AI generated content.

My Code

Front-end
Worker

The main heart of this is the Worker, which is a fancy API wrapping the AI functionality. POST the following two FormData parameters to the Worker

1. animal, the animal you wish to put in a universe, cat lets say
2. universe, the fictional body of work's universe name, star trek for example

The Worker's response will respond with a PNG image that AI thought was a good fit for your combination.

Give it a try yourself

Journey

I had a few hours after a long day and the announcement of this challenge has stuck in my head for a few days, so I decided to dive in head first, no look, and no 360.

My initial thought was just to create a Worker that took in a Star Trek character, and generated a cat image in that character's style.

However after seeing how limiting that was, it seemed better to take in some input and be a tad more dynamic, thus fictional universes. At that point, why limit it to cats?

This all required a front end which a Worker is not. So, a Page was also created to handle the display/input to the worker, thus yielding the two repositories listed.

Future thoughts
I believe I could make a single Page with a Function to accomplish the same behaviors in a single repository, but while the wheels were spinning, I did not want to clog the air intake (or basically slow myself down).

Multiple Models and/or Triple Task Types
I had big hopes to incorporate multiple models and/or 3+ task types, but with limited time comes snap decisions.
