Is it a trend, already? I mean I can get behind ambition, but jesus, everything is new, people are cooking. Let's give it a few month.
Somewhat tangential, but the Krita community and core team have been pretty explicitly anti-AI. https://krita-artists.org/t/change-in-policy-for-topics-rela... (I am part of a group that builds UI on top of open models, but we stopped working on our Krita version for that reason.)
((the root cause is that an economic system fundamentally based on scarcity == value doesn't make sense when applied to things that are essentially infinite, and kludgeing in artificial scarcity to make things work is not a good take))

How else are you supposed to support AMD in Pytorch on Windows?

The AI hate is suuuch a meme in the art community, it's very frustrating/alienating. (Though understandably, neoliberal capitalism is also extremely frustrating, so I see why artists mad, I just wish they'd be mad at the root cause.)

It's always been a trend and always will be until AMD gets their shit together. NV spends a lot to make sure CUDA has the market share it does (marketing, establishing a foothold in academia, partnerships etc), AMD is working on it but progress is slow.
People might not like it but Nvidia’s dominance is completely deserved from the actions, or should I say inactions of the now disbanded OpenCL crowd

Mm. I’ve spoken to a number of artists who have expressed similar feelings of despair, frustration and anger.
There are many upset people over this technology, and calling it a meme diminishes them to meaningless copycat haters.
I don’t think that’s true; and doing it, really reallllly makes them angry.
Consider: this attitude it part of the reason why that attitude exists.

If the stable diffusion folk hadn’t gone crazy cloning every art style they could and laughing about it, we could all have had a very different AI art future.
…but apparently we can’t have nice things because (some) people suck.

Yeah it must be a meme.

I think in 3~5 years an painting app without AI generation feature is just like a painting app without pen pressure today. It's still usable, you can make great art with it if you have the skill, but it will be so out of fashion to a point it starts becoming cool again.

I assume it's the case because the automatic ComfyUI installer that comes with this project doesn't know how to install/configure ROCm. Using your own ComfyUI installation works perfectly. I'll open a ticket with the author of the project to discuss this.
