>I don't think you can expect someone to pay for T4 instance 24/7 for some hobby project. That's a needlessly uncharitable interpretation of what is happening here. The site is giving the misleading impression that these images are generated on the spot, and then walking it back in the fine print. It's a valid criticism, and lecturing people about the economics is not a charitable engagement with that criticism.
That seems backwards. I think GP's point that the critics on HN are themselves being uncharitable towards the site (or maybe just missed the explanation) by acting like it's a nefarious bait and switch, rather than considering the possibility that the author of the site is just trying to save on computing costs. He or she's not lecturing anyone about economics. In fact, if we want to talk about charity, I think that…
The title literally says "generate abstract paintings in one click" and it is not doing that. I clicked on it expecting it to generate abstract paintings in one click, and now my disappointment is uncharitable?

#93Judging by the URL of the images themselves these seem to be pre-generated, which makes me think there might have been some human selection process to filter out the badly generated ones. Still some really cool looking art in there, though. I'd be perfectly happy hanging some of these up in my apartment.
The language on the landing page suggests that every time you click Try Now a new image is generated. > Click the button below for an AI-generated abstract painting. Built for artists, developers, and hobbyists. Really though there is a gallery of around 10,000 pngs on a Wordpress site. Fake it 'til you make it!

I'm not seeing how either of those interpretations are accurate. The page title and body text say one thing, the fine print walks it back. The balance of emphasis definitely puts forward the impression that images are being newly generated.
And the commenter most definitely was criticizing a very strawmanny 'expectation' that they pay 24/7 to serve an image generation app, which is projection of a view that wasn't expressed by anybody and is certainly not the most charitable reading of what people mean when they say the message creates a misleading impression.
For one example, a more reasonable 'expectation' would be that the language be changed to say it's a gallery of images already generated. Which is different from the uncharitable and unreasonable assertion that everyone is expecting them to pay to maintain a server.

What if they stockpiled enough images so that everyone was guaranteed a fresh image? Would there be any difference then?

I don't think there is a filter or the filter is real bad

They are all very low res. Not sure there is a networks out there producing a few hundred megapixels needed for a good large print.

No. They could've just said something like "get a new abstract painting in one click" and used phrases like "never before seen". But as-is, their claim is just not true.

#100This isn't live/dynamically generated, but if it was, what would be a good way of architecting it in a basic implementation? Say you keep the WordPress site, do you then just send a request to some endpoint that is served by python which keeps the model in memory for quick responses?
When I was doing AI lyrics, I just ensured that the same seed generates the same text. So server just pregenerated several thousand texts into a queue, which you drain from instantly upon a click to get random.
The generated texts are then cached, and if not visited for a while - expire. But thanks to the ability to regenerate the same text from seed are still accessible from URL.
