Very impressive. I have to say while I'm deeply impressed by these text to image models, there's a part of me that's also wary of their impact. Just look at the comments beneath the average Facebook post.

Please pardon me since I don't know if this is satirical or not. I'd wish if you could clarify it.

Because if this is real, then the world is cooked

if not, then the fact that I think that It might be real but the only reason I believe its a joke is because you are on hackernews so I think that either you are joking or the tech has gotten so convincing that even people on hackernews (which I hold to a fair standard) are getting scammed.

I have a lot of questions if true and I am sorry for your loss if that's true and this isn't satire but I'd love it if you could tell me if its a satirical joke or not.

Would you consider writing a blog post about this experience? I'm incredibly interested in learning more details about how this unfolded.

I've had a task in mind for a while now that I've wanted to do with this latest crop of very capable instruction-following image editors. Without going into detail, basically the task boils down to, "generate exactly image 1, but replace object A with the object depicted in image 2." Where image 2 is some front-facing generic version, ideally I want the model to place this object perfectly in the scene, replacing the…

Yes! There is a model called ACE++ from Alibaba that is specifically trained to replace masked areas with a reference image. We use it in https://phind.design. It does seem like a very esoteric and uncommon task though.

These SpaceX scams are rampant on youtube and highly, highly lucrative. It’s crazy and you have to be very vigilant, as whatever is promised lines up with Elon’s MO.

It seems that they still block access from Europe, or from Germany at least.

Use it on fal.ai

Since API currently is not working (seems rate limits not set for Image Generation yet) I tried on fal.

Definitely inferior to results I see on AI Studio and image generation time is 6s on AI Studio vs 30 seconds on Fal.AI

I guess it was something like [0] The Nigerian prince is now a deep fake Elon but the concept is the same. You need to send some money to get way more back.
