I am completely uninformed in this space. Would someone be kind to explain what the current state of the art in image generation is (how does this compare to Midjourney and others)? How do open source models stack up? Also what are the most common use cases for image generation?

Midjourney may be better for plain prompts, but Stable Diffusion is SOTA because of the tooling and finetuning surrounding it.

Idk Midjourny ignores prompts.

For the longest time I thought it was google imaging things and doing some photoshop to make things look like Pixar because it was so bad.

This explosion of AI-generated imagery will result in an explosion of millions of fake images, obivously. Perhaps in the short-term this is fun, but in the long-term, we will lose a bit more scarcity, which is not that great in my opinion. Isn't the best part of a meal eating after you've not had anything to eat for a while? The best part about a kiss that you've quenched the pain of missing your partner? The best pa…

Enforcing artificial scarcity is idiotic and counter progressive. There will be other things that will continue to be uncommon that humans will continue to appreciate. This is what human progress looks like. Imagine someone said this when agriculture started up- “The great thing about fruits and vegetables is that they taste so sweet the few times we find them. We shouldn’t grow them in bulk”

I'm out of date on the image-generating side of AI, but I'd like to check things out. What's the best tool for image generation that's available on a website right now? Ie, not a model that I have to run locally.

Midjourney right? Although, discord isn't a website I guess.

Probably Midjourney, but I like Dreamstudio better.

It sounds like after the previous 0.9 version there was some refining done:

> The refining process has produced a model that generates more vibrant and accurate colors, with better contrast, lighting, and shadows than its predecessor. The imaging process is also streamlined to deliver quicker results, yielding full 1-megapixel (1024x1024) resolution images in seconds in multiple aspect ratios.

Sounds pretty impressive, and the sample results at the bottom of the page are visually excellent.

I think you have this backwards, Capitalism loves scarcity. Scarcity is what allows for supply and demand curves and profit-making opportunities, even better if you can control the scarcity. Capitalist entities are constantly attempting to use laws, technology, and market power to add scarcity to places where it didn't previously exist.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

SDXL 0.9 should be the state-of-the-art image generation model (in the open). It generates at 1024x1024 large resolution, with high coherency and good selection of styles out of box. It also has reasonable text-understanding comparing to other models. That has been said, based on the configurations of these models, we are far from saturating what the best model can do. The problem is, FID is terrible metrics to evalu…

Why do you think FID is a terrible metrics? What don't you like in particular about it?

I overspoke. FID is a fine metrics to observe the training progress of your own model. And it correlates well with some coherency issues of generative models. But for cross model comparisons, especially for models that generally do well under FID, it is not discriminative enough to separate better / good.

Not affiliated in anyway and not very involved in the space. I just wanted to generate some images a few weeks ago and was looking for somewhere I could do that for free. The link above lets you do that but I suggest you look up prompts because its a lot more involved than I expected.

I've found https://firefly.adobe.com/ pretty good at composing images with multiple subjects. [disclaimer - I work at Adobe, but not in the Creative Cloud]

But I wouldn't say it's the "best." Just trained on images that weren't taken from unconsenting artists.
