"
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."

"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."
