The Art Generator

David was glad it was Friday and work was almost done for the day. He'd woken up with the sunrise to go to the gym, working hard towards his goals there before coming home and logging onto his work computer in his office. His girlfriend, Cassie, had left at the same time as him that morning for her Master's swim team practice and then to her work for the day. He'd had a long day working through a coding project and had made some progress, but looking forward to the evening and the weekend with Cassie, since the weather wasn't looking great so that meant plenty of video games and sex together on their couch.

His personal computer that was also on the desk behind his work laptop dinged. He looked up at one of the monitors that was running a Stable Diffusion AI art generation instance, and saw that it had completed the latest run of high quality AI generated images based on the sci-fi prompts he had picked earlier. They were pretty good, a bunch of attractive angelic type beings flying through nebulous gases. There were a couple of oddities, but he'd be able to edit those out and use the prompts he had used earlier to make the next set of images better. He took one of the images with a few oddities in it and posted it in the art generation discord chat he was in to let others see the latest creation with the mods they had suggested, and watched a couple thumbs up and other reaction emojis line up underneath the image. Looking back towards his work laptop, he finished typing the line he had been working on, saved what he had been working on and uploaded it to the project codebase. Browsing through his work email, chats, and webportal one last time for the day, he logged out and shut down, sighing and stretching as he did so. The stretch felt really good, he'd been working out and dieting hard the last few months to get back into the shape he was in college and lose the pandemic flab he had accrued around his stomach, but still had a way to go.

As he looked outside to see what sunlight remained as the wind blew in clouds across the sky, his phone vibrated and displayed a text underneath a picture of him and Cassie posing next to a pool. She looked great, a little red in the face since she had just finished a race in the pool and she was still catching her breath and was dripping wet in her black one piece swimsuit. She was only an inch shorter than him, and her beautiful blonde hair was tucked up into her swim cap with only a strand or two hanging out. He always enjoyed watching her swim and any opportunity he got to see her in those one piece suits, they fit her body so well, displaying her long smooth tan legs and the paler bikini bottom tan lines, wetly sticking to her skin and hinting at the wonders it hid beneath. Cassie was in great swimming shape, with her natural curves accented by muscles defined by years of swimming and strong legs and shoulders, and beneath her suit an amazing stomach and perfect B cup breasts. Of course, her naked body was even better, but he just had something about her and those swimsuits.

The message read: "Ugggh work today, and now traffic, headed home to you babe, see you soon, love ya." He smiled and texted back: "Can't wait to have you home, drive safe my love!" A quick look at the map app showed a bunch of traffic from an accident between their home and Cassie's work, so he just crossed his fingers that it would all be cleared up by the time she got there and would have a quick drive home.

Another ding, this time from his DM's on discord. Looking at who had sent the message, it was someone he had never had a one-on-one conversation with before, but they were both in the same generative art chat, and looking through that server he saw the messenger was verified and pretty active in multiple chats. Going back to the message, David read: "Hey man, I saw your latest image and it's looking great, I've used a lot of the same mods and conditions in my image generation. I saw some of the same errors in the angelic bodies that I experienced, and have had great success with this latest repo and learning set. Here's a link to the repo, called 'Body Tweaks', and the installation instructions, though they are pretty much the same as any other set you've probably installed and used before. Good luck, enjoy, and can't wait to see what you come up with next!" David opened the link and saw that it took him to repo related to the Stable Diffusion AI image generation software, and looking through other repos and comments by the same author saw it was highly rated, installed, and there were several mods he was familiar with. Going back to the original link, he started the clone process to his own repository, noting that the package had been renamed to 'Reality Body Tweaks,' but seemingly no other major changes since than. Once the cloning had finished, he downloaded and scanned it, while also checking the checksum to make sure what had downloaded matched what was online. Everything checked out, so he got it all installed and the required data downloaded, restarting his computer after it was all complete.

Another text from Cassie: "Traffic is getting worseeeee ugggg I wish I could work from home like you still fucker!" He replied: "We'd drive each other crazy, remember the early days of lockdown? We couldn't stop fucking and actually do any work!" Cassie: "I remember those times fondly. Ugggh. See you in a bit."

His computer had rebooted in the meantime, and the art generation AI interface was sitting open on one screen, his chats on the other. Strangely, the DM from the guy earlier had disappeared, probably just a discord glitch he thought. Looking at the art interface, he started to look through what all had been added and changed. There was a dropdown tab labeled QoL, another labeled dimensions, an inputs and outputs tab, a standards tab, and the final product tab had some new options talking about Averaging and Combining and other tools he had never used. David decided to give it a try, and started to work through the setup. He had used a picture of himself a couple days ago to start the image series that had just finished, so decided to upload the same picture as before. An error popped up: "It is recommended to upload at least a 360 degree nude body video for optimal Body Tweaking results, with more footage allowing for finer control."

While a little strange, this generative AI stuff was developing so fast that he could see the logic of the input. He'd just disconnect it from the internet while running, just to make sure it didn't go anywhere online he didn't intend. Disconnecting the ethernet cable, he made sure all the lights in the office were on and started a recording with the webcam perched atop a monitor. Standing up and pushing his chair back, he pulled his t-shirt off and threw it onto the chair, and pulled his pants and boxers all the way down to the floor. Looking at the video recording on the screen, he grimaced at the persistent softness of his body and lack of visible muscles, though it was lots better than earlier in the year, at least his stomach was almost flat now and his penis was visible beyond his thighs, despite it's average size. He spun around a couple times, moving his arms up and down, getting closer and further from the camera, and lifting up his legs from time to time so that the recording got at least every part of his body once. Satisfied with the short recording, he pulled his clothes back on, sat back down and selected the video file to upload to the art program. "No error this time, at least that worked" he thought.

Opening the QoL tab, he saw it expand with 'Quality of Life' options, with the default being 'Recommended,' though there was also a custom dropdown; quickly scanning through that he saw checked options about body hair, skin quality, pheromones, energy and more. Since this was a first run, he decided to just leave 'Recommended' checked. The Dimensions tab had a bunch of sliders, each with further dropdowns to drill into further options. David saw an option for muscles, and increased that to 20%. Another for penis size, 20% for that, and a -20% for fat. He left the recommended options checked in inputs, and assumed the 'Volume' and "Refractory Period' under Outputs related to the shininess of the final product, and increased the volume 50% and decreased what he assumed were reflections to -80%. In Standards there didn't seem much he wanted to change at first, but then he spotted one labeled tongue, chuckled, and check the box labeled 'Extreme', just to see what it would do. On the final product page selected to Average and Combine the best 10 results as picked by the AI. Finally he typed in the prompt for the AI: "A highly realistic physically fit and attractive version of me." Satisfied, he clicked start, and watched the estimate timer pop up with 15 hours to go. Surprisingly short for a video input, he thought, but hey maybe it's super efficient.

David got up, taking a swig of water as he walked towards the kitchen to start working on dinner. Chicken and veggies again were on the menu for the night, so he just had to figure out how he wanted it made. Baked? Some sort of curry or stir fry? He got to work, chopping and getting everything going on the stove top. A few minutes in, he heard the garage open and Cassie's car drive in, shutting the garage door behind it. She walked into the kitchen from the garage, looking tired from the long day of swimming and work and traffic. Still incredibly beautiful though, thought David, and he bent to give her a kiss on the cheek as she walked up, his hands dirty with food from the prep. "Hi babe" they both said at the same time and gave each other a small smile. "Dinner looks good David, do I have time to relax a bit before it's ready? Today has been a day." Cassie asked as she started down the hall to their bedroom with her work and swim bags in hand. "Yeah, there's still another 30 minutes, no worries beautiful" David replied, getting back to work on the food after giving her retreating body an appreciative glance.

15 minutes later she came back down the hall, no longer in her dress slacks and shirt but instead one of David's old big t-shirts, her long blonde hair in a relaxed ponytail to just above the curve of her butt. The shirt came down to her mid-thigh, leaving the majority of her strong legs in easy view. Cassie came up behind him and hugged him from behind, breathing deeply as she pressed her body into his. David enjoyed feeling her lithe body press into him, her breasts squishing between them as her arms tightened around his chest. She stood there a minute, just holding him from behind and resting her forehead on his back, and he stood still enjoying the affection. As she released her grip he turned and kissed her on the lips, happy to see her and feel her lips press back and open so the kiss could deepen, allowing him to suck on the tip of her tongue and feeling her give a little shiver. "Hey you" he said when they paused for breath, seeing her smile in reply and lean back into the kiss. "Hey you yourself" she replied after a few more moments and giving his butt a squeeze. They both let go of each other, Cassie walking to the fridge to grab a beer from the fridge while David got back to the cooking. She went and sat on the couch, popping the can open as she selected a random video to play on the TV, taking a sip as she relaxed into the couch and smelled the scents of cooking food, her shirt rumpling up to expose the short shorts hugging her hips beneath.

"Food ready, coming in hot" David proclaimed as he brought the two bowls of steaming chicken and veggies and sauce over to the coffee table in front of the couch. "Smells good, mhmmm, thanks babe" said Cassie as she grabbed hers and settled back into the couch. "Wanna watch anything different, watch one of our shows?" "Sure, you pick something good" replied David, enjoying sitting on the couch enjoying food with his beautiful girlfriend as they relaxed and wound down from their workdays, diving into an anime episode they hadn't seen yet.

A couple hours and many episodes later, David started to move from their position cuddling, reluctantly releasing his embrace across her wonderful softness. David yawned: "Hey, I'm going to bed, long day, you coming?" "Yeahhhh" she sleepily replied, slowly pushing herself up from the couch and walking back to the bathroom while David finished loading the dishwasher and turning it on with all the dishes. As he walked back to the bedroom, he ducked into the office and shook the computer mouse, waking up his screen so that he could see how the generation was progressing. Still 8 hours to go, it estimated, as he walked to the bedroom, catching a good view of Cassie wearing only her boy shirts, breasts lightly bouncing, her nipples and a light level of goosebumps standing up across her skin in the chill air, walking from the bathroom to her side of the bed. David washed up in the bedroom and shut off the light, shedding down to his boxers as he got under the covers and snuggled up behind her, his chest against her back, one arm beneath her head and another gently resting across her belly, enjoying her warmth and the light scent of her perfume and the softness of her hair on his chin. "Goodnight babe" he said as he kissed her neck and they both drifted off to sleep.
