Curious as to how you arrived at that conclusion.
A quick Google shows an estimate that it was a 100 billion dollar market in 2017. Seems there is a lot of demand.
Played with it for a bit in DreamStudio so I could control more of the settings. So far everything it generates is "high quality", but the AI seems to lack the creativity and breadth of understanding that DALL-E 2 has. OpenAI's model is better at taking wildly differing concepts and figuring out creative ways to glue them together, even if the end result isn't perfect. Stable Diffusion is very resistant to that, and…
This is my bison astronaut:

The prompt was:
"A bison as an astronaut, tone mapped, shiny, intricate, cinematic lighting, highly detailed, digital painting, artstation, concept art, smooth, sharp focus, illustration, art by terry moore and greg rutkowski and alphonse mucha"

Looking forward to a future where all a politician’s quotes are on a blockchain, signed by their private key, and they chose to do so voluntarily out of fear of deep fakes. Will remove all the useless “I didn’t say that”
Do politicians understand blockchains?

This is not the same though, it's about being able to deny that that photo of you is real, not that it's taken out of context.
Well what’s a “real” photo? If I take your photo and photoshop (very well) different surroundings. Is it a real photo if you? If I photoshop your face (very well) onto a different body. Is that real? If I feed your photos into a model that can create realistic versions of those photos in different poses or with different facial expressions. Is that real? They all start with something that is very definitely a real ph…

(OP here) I agree. I am an artist (not by trade but by lifelong obsession) in several different mediums, but also an AI engineer--so I feel a weird mixture of emotions tbh. I'm thrilled and excited but also terrified lol.
It's my fucking job. I've spent my whole fucking life getting good at drawing. I can probably manage to keep finding work but I am really not happy about what this is going to do to that place where a young artist is right at the threshold of being good enough to make it their job. Because once you're spending most of your days doing a thing, you start getting better at it a lot faster . And every place this shit get…

Yes, by that definition, most photographs already aren't real.

I read that you have to give longer prompts to Stable diffusion.

The most interesting part, to me, of a release like this is the amount of "please don't abuse this technology" pleading. No licence will ever stop people from doing things that the licence says they can't. There will always be someone who digs into the internals and makes a version that does not respect your hopes and dreams. It's going to be bad. As I see it, within a couple years this tech will be so widespread and…
Kidding aside, I think this is actually good. Humans need ephemerality. We are never getting the full version of it back, but with photorealistic ai video and image creation some freedom returns. I think without it a society in which everyone has a camera all the time would mean absolute ossification of social norms. Right now it's very, very new - I mean multiple generations living with the current, or better (eg. recording eye implants) technology.
