wAIfu

Introducing wAIfu, an AI-powered program that lets you discover and rate cute anime waifus! This program will use the waifu.im API to fetch waifu images. The built-in chibi character called Chibi-Chan will use the  waifu.im API to show you a wide variety of adorable waifus for you to enjoy. 

But that's not all - the program also features a machine learning component that allows it to learn your personal taste and preferences based on the pictures you rate. As you rate pictures, the AI algorithm will analyze your choices and start to develop a sense of what you find most appealing. Over time, it will become more accurate in predicting which pictures you'll rate what. Of course, this program isn't just for your own entertainment - you can share your waifu AI data with your friends, and your friends can import your taste into their program to compare with their taste! 

Overall, wAIfu is a fun and engaging way to explore the world of AI-powered programs, while also indulging your love for all things waifu. So why wait? Download wAIfu today and start rating your favorite waifus!

Features:
1) The program will LEARN your tastes and try and PREDICT what you will rate the waifu.
2) Chibi-Chan, which is the name of the AI, will REACT according to her predicted rating.

As of September 26th 2023, this program is Open-Source under the GPL v3 license! Which means you can go on Github, and check out the code.  So click the following link to check out all the 749 lines of confusion:

⚠️Writing a lot of UI code without classes and in single .py file with global variables like it's often done is a pain to read and very bad coding style!⚠️
..but I did it anyway!

Also please keep in mind that, since this program was made the first semester of university, the code isn't the cleanest, and actually quite confusing, so have fun trying to figure out what everything does! 

Here's a little about the license: The GPLv3 allows others to copy, distribute and modify the software as long as they state what has been changed when, and ensure that any modifications are also licensed under the GPL.

So if you plan on modifying, copying and/or redistributing, please give me credit as the original creator.

I could only make this program with help of these very important people. Thank you so much for the help!

Also check out tacecapS's tierlist application called tacetier, wAIfu has built-in integration to tacetier, so it's definitely worth checking out:
