Dunno, I feel sad about artists a bit. I hope they won't stop creating. I am sick of these flashy AI fakes.

Sick enough that it affects your spending habits? In any case AI companies will do their best to produce content that lands below that threshold.

What would happen if a platform focused on a company like Disney, offering images in the style of Frozen / Cinderella / etc? Midjourney can already generate fire Elsa[1] and zombie Elsa[2]. I wonder if this kind of usage ever grows enough to start bothering corporations. [1]: https://prompthero.com/prompt/be1b58e6fef [2]: (nsfw cartoon gore) https://prompthero.com/prompt/00e7433fb1a

Yes, you can get Disney style and a lot of other copyrighted stuff. Yes, they are very bothered.

How? Do you have any examples / sources?

If you like anime artists, there is this: https://rentry.co/NAIDv3artisttagtest , a list of 470 artists using the last model of NovelAI (this time they trained their model without removing artist names). Fun fact, this model is based on SDXL, finetuned probably on a cluster of H100s (from coreweave).

Is there a big difference in the result from fine tuning a model compared to using a LoRA? I thought the idea with LoRAs was that updating all model weights are unnecessary?

Well this is a very extensive finetuning, LoRA are usually convenient if you just want to add a character, a style or a concept to the model.

This will sound like a stupid question, but is there a downloadable list of all the art styles understood by these models as an offline PDF?

If there isn't, I'm very, very tempted to make one myself. Each style entry consists of a description and a list of models that understand it and any special tags or keywords the model needs to generate output with that style.

I know we have a lot of websites dedicated to this, but this information is more suited for a wiki

A lot of these are very pleasant to look at.. yes, it's easy to spam them so it can get old very fast. But I'm in Midjourney socials and not gonna lie, everyday I see something that stands out and amazes me. Should I feel bad because I'm looking at a flashy AI fake?

The consensus seems to be that the lack of open source SDXL anime fine tunes is simply due to laziness and lack of resources from the interested parties in the community. Datasets like from the boorus are already floating around online to train on. Always funny to see that furries are ahead of weeaboos in the war for the best open source nsfw generator

Last I heard, everyone was struggling to fine tune SDXL on furry art too. The only community fine tunes that seem to have succeeded are ones aimed at taking things it was already designed to generate and trained on and making it actually good at those, or improving the aesthetics of its output.

Here is a list of various artist/style cheat sheets available for SD 1.5 and SD XL. There may be other sheets for MidJourney but I have been into SD for a while and that's why I have collected these. https://gist.github.com/SMUsamaShah/218e602d508e891a123929ce...

The people who are motivated to create art made art before they were being paid to do so. I don't think they're going to stop.

They might release fewer pieces publicly out of style-copying fears. Or if they get paid less they might have less time to spend creating art.

Personally I think generative models enable more people to make art and may even let professional artists create more art.
