The hands issue is going to be an awesome story for all of us in 10-20 years. The younger generation just won’t fathom how hard it was to get proper hands. I wonder what a parallel comparable now would be? Something the slightly technical general public just can’t wrap their head around why it was complicated “back then”. Maybe todays example is a smart voice assistant like Alexa.

Or maybe it will never be fixed, and in the future when they are trying to determine if someone is a human or an artificial replica, they will simply ask them to draw a set of human hands as a test.

Most humans would struggle to draw human hands as well.

anyone know how to use this? kind of confusing install instructions in the readme

If you don't care what exact tool in particular, https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui is the easiest to install I think and gives lots of toys to play with (txt2img, img2img, teach it your likeness, etc.)

Genuinely curious what type of content would be considered illegal here. - the tool is drawing original content. - the tool is executing on my laptop. - the output image is not shared with anyone. In a way, whatever this tool can do, MS Paint could (theoretically) do. Or am I misunderstanding the whole thing?

Nope. It is illegal if you do it on ms paint too. Images of naked kids (real or fiction) + transmitted over internet (ie state lines) = bad bad day for all involved.

But OP specifically said: "the tool is executing on my laptop. - the output image is not shared with anyone."

Can it make it pop? Because that was the #1 request I remember dealing with.

I tried it out :-) `aimg edit assets/girl_with_a_pearl_earring.jpg "make it pop" --prompt-strength 40 --gif` https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1217531/213912442-...

I think it tried to make it pop art? Which is not a bad response to be fair.

Super nice. Would this work if I have my own version of fine-tuned SD? Also, curious how / whether this is different from img2img released by SD. Thanks!

This is itself it's own finetuned version of SD so now it won't work with alternative versions. img2img works by just running normal stable diffusion img2img on a noised starting image. As such it destroys information at all parts of the image equally. This new model uses attention mechanisms to decide which parts of the image are important to modify. It can leave parts of the image untouched while making drastic cha…

Well, to be fair you can use feathered bitmap masks for img2img with some UIs (automatic1111)

I am not a fan of software such as this putting in an arbitrarily "safety" feature which can only be disabled via undocumented environment variable. At least make it a flag documented for people who don't have an issue with nudity. There isn't even an indication that there is a "safety" issue, you just get a blank image and are wondering if your GPU/model or install is corrupted. This isn't running on a website that…

But it requires transmission over the internet, right? This is actually very interesting. Am I legally allowed to draw naked kids for my own enjoyment in the comfort of my own home?

Here is a colab you can try it in. It crashed for me the first time but worked the second time. https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1rOvQNs0Cmn_yU1bKWjC...

How would I upgrade to 2.1 if running locally?

If you're wanting to use Stable Diffusion 2.1 with imaginairy you just specify the model with `--model SD-2.1` when running the `aimg imagine` command.
