Now, let's delve deeper into this fascinating realm by automating image generation based on a text file filled with captivating prompts. Get ready to unleash the full potential of your AI-driven explorations as we learn to execute these prompts in a cohesive manner.
The process kicks off by loading a text file filled with engaging prompts—each designed to ignite the AI's creativity. We will then explore how to harness Python's powerful libraries to interpret these prompts and initiate a stream of automated image generation.
As you progress, you’ll master the art of constructing intricate loops and applying advanced algorithms to ensure that your prompts are executed flawlessly. You'll also pick up valuable tips for optimizing your code, making your automation journey as efficient as possible.
By the end of this guide, you’ll be well-prepared to generate an impressive collection of AI-driven images, all based on your meticulously curated text prompts. With this new expertise, you’ll embark on countless adventures, exploring the endless possibilities of AI image generation and automation. So, let’s dive in and allow the wonders of automation to elevate your journey!
Workflow Overview
When faced with an extensive list of prompts for image generation, it's practical to compile them into a file named 'prompts.txt.' Once you've organized your prompts and set your Python script in motion, the next step is to head over to your Discord server channel and type 'automation.' This simple command will trigger the GUI automation process, enabling your Python script to communicate with the Midjourney Bot via Discord.
To ensure smooth operation, keep Discord open to allow the Python script to execute its send commands uninterrupted. Additionally, it’s essential to refrain from using your computer during the automation process, as any unintended interactions could disrupt the script’s functionality.
A smart strategy for maximizing the effectiveness of this automation system is to run it overnight. While you sleep, the Python script will diligently work in the background, processing your prompts and generating a stunning array of AI-generated images. By the time you wake up, your automation adventure will culminate in a treasure trove of images waiting to be explored.
Prerequisites
To get started, follow the steps outlined in my previous article to configure your Discord server and application bot.
To install the necessary libraries for your Python script, open your terminal or command prompt and execute the following command:
pip install discord.py python-dotenv pyautogui
Create a text file named 'prompts.txt' and save it in the same directory as your Python script. Add your desired prompts, one per line, in this format:
sunny beach in Florida, --v 5 --ar 2:1
teddy bear illustration, --v 5 --ar 2:3
ship illustration, --v 5 --ar 2:3
Python Code Example
import time
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from dotenv import load_dotenv
import pyautogui as pg
discord_token = "YOUR_DISCORD_TOKEN"
# Using readlines()
with open('prompts.txt', 'r') as prompt_file:
prompts = prompt_file.readlines()
prompt_counter = 0
load_dotenv()
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix="*", intents=discord.Intents.all())
@client.event
async def on_ready():
print("Bot connected")
@client.event
async def on_message(message):
global prompt_counter
msg = message.content
print(message)
while prompt_counter < len(prompts):
# Start Automation by typing "automation" in the discord channel
if msg == 'automation':
time.sleep(3)
pg.press('tab')
for _ in range(1):
time.sleep(3)
pg.write('/imagine')
time.sleep(5)
pg.press('tab')
pg.write(prompts[prompt_counter].strip())
time.sleep(3)
pg.press('enter')
time.sleep(5)
prompt_counter += 1
# continue Automation as soon Midjourney bot sends a message with attachment.
for attachment in message.attachments:
time.sleep(3)
pg.write('/imagine')
time.sleep(5)
pg.press('tab')
pg.write(prompts[prompt_counter].strip())
time.sleep(3)
pg.press('enter')
time.sleep(5)
prompt_counter += 1
# Stop Automation once all prompts are completed
quit()
client.run(discord_token)
This Python script streamlines the process of sending prompts to a Discord bot, which subsequently generates images based on those prompts. Key components of the script include:
- Importing Libraries: The script imports essential libraries such as time, discord, commands from discord.ext, load_dotenv from dotenv, and pyautogui as pg.
- Setting Up the Discord Bot Token: Replace "YOUR_DISCORD_TOKEN" with your actual Discord bot token.
- Reading Prompts: The script reads the prompts from 'prompts.txt' and stores them in a list.
- Bot Initialization: The script sets the command prefix for the bot and connects it to Discord.
- Event Handling: The script defines event functions for when the bot is ready and when a new message is received. The automation starts upon receiving the 'automation' command.
- Automating Prompt Sending: The script enters a loop to process prompts, waiting for the 'automation' command to initiate. It uses pyautogui to type and send the prompts.
- Ending the Automation: Once all prompts have been processed, the script calls the quit() function to terminate the automation.
- Running the Bot: Finally, the script runs the bot using the provided token.
