"tl;dr: We use pretrained diffusion models to make optical illusions

We present a simple, zero-shot method to generate multi-view optical
illusions
. These are images that look like one thing, but change appearance or
identity when transformed. We show in theory and practice that our method
supports a broad range of transformations including rotations, flips, color
inversions, skews, jigsaw rearrangements, and random permutations. We show some
examples below."

Via Wayne Radinsky, who wrote:

"Optical illusions created with diffusion models. Images that change appearance
when flipped or rotated. Actually these researchers created a general-purpose
system for making optical illusions for a variety of transformations. They’ve
named their optical illusions “visual anagrams”.

Now, I know I told you all I would write up an explanation of how diffusion
models work, and I’ve not yet done that. There’s a lot of advanced math that
goes into them."
