>> I can only guess either safety from misuse > I still don't understand what this would mean. Where are all of the terrible things that were supposed to happen, now that Stable Diffusion is available? Mainly people making porn (e.g. stuff like deepnudes). It seems like a lot of work has gone into into preventing that (e.g. filtering porn out of training data, having porn-detection models to block porny output). Ther…

Someone else will come along that doesn't have the same arbitrary limitations, it's a battle you're bound to lose.

Agreed. Unfortunately, it's just a matter of time before someone develops a similar open source project that someone uses for unsavory purposes.

I've heard this a lot, luckily it's not that hard to test if you can really tell the difference. We need someone to create the 'AI Pepsi challenge' for artists to settle this.

That was fast, looks like artists can't tell, AI wins first prize in an art competition! https://www.vice.com/en/article/bvmvqm/an-ai-generated-artwo...

This was sort of misreported. He won in the "Digital Arts / Digitally-Manipulated Photography" category, not the entire contest, and it's fair to say AI fits in that category.

This picture is also unusually coherent for Midjourney; if you just ask for a 16:9 image the sides tend to evolve into totally different pictures.

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…

It’s been a week, there is going to be an explosion of believable fake items that are going to be used to lure people in to even more unbelievable conspiracy theories than there currently exist. Your average conspiracy nut didn’t have the skills or know how before, but they sure do now. Also you’re probably not seeing all the pedo content that people are already generating for themselves.

It might end up having the opposite effect. When all sides of an argument can bomb each other with AI generated content it could poison the well and make people less likely to believe things they see.

Open means something. It is a, for lack of a better phrase, virtue signal. When you do that but don't actually represent the virtue you are trying to signal, people will understandably get pretty upset about that.

The notion of open in software and in academia is different, that for sure. But does that make one or the other wrong? My friends doing physics or math don't understand the hate at all when I discuss it with them. From their point of view, you don't have to pay hundreds of dollars to read it = it's open. The research is there, code is left as exercise to the reader - that's also normal to them... And the notion of gi…

> But does that make one or the other wrong?

Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but it makes it wrong for me (and judging by the number of upvotes I got from the original comment, a lot more than just me).

It's not just the code left to an exercise to the reader...it's the training sets. You don't get to trade on the suggestion of "open" while keeping everything closed. They aren't idiots, they knew exactly what they were implying when they picked the name.

Pen and paper can do the same. Or Photoshop. Anyone can draw anything! OMG, stop the paper factory.

>Anyone can draw anything! I'm pretty sure one of the primary arguments for Dall-E and Stable Diffusion existing is that there are lots of people who can't draw anything.

How does Stable Diffusion compare to DALL-E in terms of features/capabilities? I've used DALL-E/DALL-E-2, but have yet to try Stable Diffusion. Can someone give me some insight?

SD is very capable, especially considering it runs on like 6GB of VRAM (we don’t know on what A100 96GB VRAM clusters DALL-E runs), but you will need to be more specific with your prompts to achieve comparable results.

Img2img mode where you provide SD a sketch and a textual description of what you want to achieve abd it figures out result is a killer!

Instead they'll pick and choose whatever to believe the conforms to their world view or comfort, and dismiss the rest as 'fake news'.

We'll get more Q-Anon than Wikipedia.

Meanwhile someone has already built a photoshop plugin for Stable Diffusion that you can use today to do basically the _exact_ same thing: https://old.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/wyduk1/sho...

Here is a SD plugin for Krita:
