I've recently updated waifu2x and I've seen it now supports lots of algorithms for different use cases and contexts and it also supports other tasks like frame interpolation. So could you briefly explain in what is cupscale better than it?

Cupscale supports multiple models tuned for different types of content (including Anime like waifu2x): https://upscale.wiki/wiki/Model_Database

As I said Waifu2x too supports many different models aimed at different content, so what's the big improvement with Cupscale?

You can't do that. I can't see this working well for children's book illustrations unless the story was specifically tailored in a way that makes continuity of style and characters irrelevant.

As an aside, Ursula Vernon did pretty well under the constraint you described. She set a comic in a dreamscape and used AI to generate most of the background imagery: https://twitter.com/UrsulaV/status/1467652391059214337 It's not the "specify the character positions in text" proposed, but still a neat take on using this sort of AI for art.

What AI app did she use, do you know?

Yes I have. And I realized it as soon as I started experimenting that mind blowing results are mostly cherry picking. It's very good at generating art style images. These kind of images are mostly amazing most of the times. But the Photorealistic images only work with cherry picking.

> And I realized it as soon as I started experimenting that mind blowing results are mostly cherry picking Me and you must have very different definitions of "cherry picking". For prompts that fall within it's scope (i.e not something unusually complex or obscure) I get usable results probably 90% of the time. Can you give me some examples of prompts that you tried where you found good results difficult to obtain?

I get bad results on unusual prompts, you are right about that.

It did generate good dslr like face closeups, as good as Nvidia does, most of the times but not always. Sometimes there are weird artifacts and face does not make sense.

Dslr style blurry photos are mostly good. From the looks of images I follow, imagen is probably more believable. Don't know how much cherry picking goes on there. See this thread [1] for example. I failed to generate image like this (honey dress) in dalle2.

The only thing I don’t like about MidJourney is the Discord based interface. I think I can grok why Dave chose this route as it bakes in an active community element and allows users to pick up prompt engineering techniques osmotically… but I’d prefer a clean DALL-E style app and cli / api access.

In case you don’t know, you can at least PM the MidJourney bot so you have an uncluttered workspace. It’s clearly personally preference, but I loathe Discord but love it for MidJourney. As you said, there’s an interactive element where I see other people doing cool things and adapting part of their prompts and vice versa. It really is fun. And when you do it in a PM, you have all your efforts saved. DALL-E is pretty…

I've completely changed my mind after spending the last few days neck deep in it around the clock. Sleep is overrated! MidJourney is awesome and the way it's implemented within Discord is a masterstroke of elegant simplicity.

Well in that case I might be wrong.

Considering waifu2x is the name of an algorithm I assumed it was just that algorithm. There's also no mention of other models on the demo page or the Github page as far as I can see.

Honestly that part pisses me off. Who cares if their AI "makes porn" or something "offensive".

The part I really don't understand the purpose of the threat "Further policy violations may lead to an automatic suspension of your account". Why do that? Just refusing to run my query is sufficient. Who is harmed if I continue to bang my head against that wall?

Because it is a solid line (the policy rule) drawn across a fractal boundary (actual porn), and given lots of attempts you can find somewhere inside the line but across the boundary.

Stopping more than so many attempts makes this much harder / much less likely.

My bad! Yes Waifu2x is just a single algorithm, you are right.

The confusion originates from the fact that I was using a GUI project for Waifu2x called "Waifu2x Extension GUI" (https://github.com/AaronFeng753/Waifu2x-Extension-GUI) which other than Waifu2x also supports other algorithms like Real-ESRGAN, Real-CUGAN, SRMD, RealSR, Anime4K, RIFE, IFRNet, CAIN, DAIN, and ACNet.

So as you said Cupscale is surely more advanced than Waifu2x (the single algorithm), but do you think it's also better than Waifu2x Extension GUI?
