This is really cool! As a next step, it would be even more useful if you could auto-inpaint on regions of the detected issues (e.g., malformed hands). That way you could maintain the subject / most of the image -- if you like everything but the deformed features. That way you tackle both the QA analyst problem and the "engineer" problem of trying to path the model for the end user/customer.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

We’re optimistic about using our own algorithms and models to evaluate another model. In theoretical computer science, it is easier to verify a correct solution than to generate a correct solution (P vs NP problem).

Do you, or will you, use human labor in any instance on evaluating images?

We currently don't since its not scalable

That's great feedback! We're working on this so stay tuned for updates ;)

For anything that is not Midjourney you can just flag as deformed :) Jokes aside, Midjourney is far far ahead of all the others in what it can generate.

SDXL feels pretty close now. Have you spent much time with it?

yes, it's much better than the previous version but still not close to midjourney. there is that threshold in image generation via these models where until you cross it every picture feels off in some way and obviously ai generated. with midjourney I am continuously amazed at what I get out of it. then if you want high res pictures pass them through Gigapixel and voila.

I have an app that needs to generate hundreds and eventually thousands of images. What tools can I use to generate these images at scale. After I figure that out, then I will be looking at Rubbrband for quality control.

There's a few companies that provide APIs for image-gen. Personally I've been using the Kandinsky model off Replicate. It's really high quality, I'd recommend it: https://replicate.com/ai-forever/kandinsky-2.2

I tried it out, the first result itself was wrong. I am sort of a potential customer for a product I am working on. The feature detection and scene description even was off. https://app.rubbrband.com/image/f2e1h.png

Hey! Feel free to shoot us an email at contact@rubbrband.com. Happy to set the record straight

Wow, that page generates some striking images. Thanks for sharing the link!
