We've been able to create completely photorealistic fiction for decades now. See any movie with CGI for an example of whole worlds, and people, that don't exist. The bar has gradually been lowering (see the amazing CGI th…

Stable Diffusion allows anyone to make kiddie porn with a half-second of curiosity/effort. Maybe you didn't know about that, maybe you think it's NBD, but in any case, that is the tire fire which aspiring AI majors want to avoid.

It's sort of both. OpenAI, being an outgrowth of the AI doomerist community, does have a bunch of people who really do think the technology is too dangerous to be given to the masses. This happens to mesh perfectly with the other group of people at OpenAI who want to make tons of revenue. It's a harmonious alignment for everyone! Except, y'know, us.

Content creators, like artists, also happen to hate filters. They do not want to have San Francisco VC culture induced political correctness imposed on their work. This helps Stable Diffuse to quickly gain popularity.

It was a long gap between DALL-E 1 and 2, a whole year. In that time they just sat on it, didn't release anything. Such a bummer. My theory is that they wanted to hype everyone up even more for the grand commercial release. Funny thing is that people didn't stand still and invented diffusion and other CLIP guided image synthesis methods, and DALL-E 2 copied the method, completely changing from the first architecture.…

I find Stable Diffusion better overall, but it has downsides. Stable Diffusion tends to be more creative than DALL-E, but does a lousy job of following directions, especially complex ones. DALL-E is good if I know what I want specifically. I can think of ways to fix Stable Diffusion since it's open-source. I think I could bridge the gaps as I see them in about a weekend of hacking. I'm not sure when I'll get that wee…

Setting a high cfg parameter, like 13, drastically helps with the prompt following. That said, for me, I agree that dalle does much better pencil sketches.

Feels like a race to the bottom. More features, lower cost, every week. No idea where it’ll level out, but I like it. Just bought some more Dalle credits today because it’s so much fun. This is a revolution in ‘art technology’ it’s like Steve Job’s bicycle for the mind. Best I could do a month ago was a stick figure in MS Paint, but now..

> Best I could do a month ago was a stick figure in MS Paint That is still the best you can do... which happens to be about the best I can do! Just like my introduction to the computer at a young age has atrophied my handwriting quality.
