That image is really off-putting. It looks wrong in several ways I can identify and some that I can’t.

I can count a number of things wrong with that image on her right hand. 7 or 8.

7-finger porn!

What I find sketchy is that it is not easy to find out who is behind this service. The norm is an about us or a link to a parent site. Briefly skimmed the legalese (ToS & Privacy) and still not clear who these people or where they operate from. The linkedin link shows 8 people working there, mostly in BD from outside the US. I don't think there is a nefarious purpose going on, i.e. getting people to sign up and steal…

It could be an attempt at entrapment by a hostile foreign power attempting to get blackmail material on western engineers by tricking people into accidentally viewing CSAM, and then leveraging that to try to turn western engineers into unwilling foreign agents by blackmailing them with the threat of turning them in to law enforcement and/or ruining their marriage. I know this sounds like a conspiracy theory but this…

Looking at the poses, it feels optimized for generating porn, but one example someone showed had a child's face (good god please don't let your "AI" system generate child anything if you want to sell it for porn purposes), and another user noted that their attempt error'd out because it "detected nudity", even though other users get given a nude model by default.

I don't know if the thing in the crotch is a penis or a scrotum, but it is definitely NSFW: https://images.generated.photos/0wV1dBnZ15hGneEfqfZT7SdEIill... My prompt was simply "Standing in front of a rocket.".

It's interesting that the image has a "mirrored along the X axis" kind of look.

I get that most of these are hilarious (this is my favorite comment on HN in some time, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37239909 ). But still, I find this incredibly frightening. These are only going to get better. Does anyone doubt that in a couple years time (if that) we'll be able to put the image of any known public person into whatever generated photo we want, which would be indistinguishable from reality?…

I don't share your optimism. I expect that there will be a lot of false news and propaganda using these kinds of images. Perhaps our legal systems will evolve (albeit slower) to handle cases that come up using these technologies.

This will, if not already, make its way into porn and increase the amount of content there. It's already wild and with this, I don't expect anything good to happen.

I couldn't help noticing that half the female poses are seriously CFM ("Come hither"), whereas the male poses are The Thinker, or Man-spreading, or other things that manly men do. But then I tried generating some male images. Turns out that The Thinker can be seriously CFM as well. For some reason, all the images I have generated so far are unexpectedly sexualized even I when i try to give it completely benign prompt…

>CFM

Cubic feet per minute?

This could just be a side-project by some guy working in a tech company with a 'no inventions/IP clause' in his contract. People prefer to stay anonymous in such cases, and launch silently, as to not pull attention from their main org. Not everybody can be a twitter-tech bro announcing his creations on ProductHunt and not get in trouble for it.

If you're wondering how it's so fast and cheap and they can generate variants so easily, it's because they're using GANs (see the footer). GANs are way faster than diffusion models because they generate the image in a single forward pass and their true latent space encoding makes editing a breeze. (And if you're wondering how it can look so good when 'everyone knows GANs don't work because they're too unstable', a wi…

> If you're wondering how it's so fast and cheap and they can generate variants so easily I assume its cheap because they are burning money to build a business, its not fast at all, and the quality... sucks. > And if you're wondering how it can look so good I’m not. I'm wondering why they’re trying to get people to use something worse than using a decent photorealistic SD1.5-based checkpoint with some basic prompt te…

I am also a bit disappointed how it's not photorealistic. We had better quality 3-4 years ago.
