I haven't followed diffusion image generation development for a while. Where do you find information on what models you can use in the model_ckpt field? Do I need to import them from somewhere? What are the main differences between them and which are more modern or better?

You can find them on huggingface, or you can reverse engineer which ckpt you want to use based on an image you've seen generated (like at majin[1] - beware, there's a lot of NSFW/controversial stuff here.) 1: https://majinai.art/

Also CivitAI but beware the NSFW

Some of this is straight up soft-core child porn. This is fucked up.

Very exciting. The "first-generation" Stable Diffusion frontends seem to have settled on a specific design philosophy, so it's interesting to see new tools (like this or ComfyUI) shake up the way people work with this tool. I hope that in a few years, we'll know which philosophy works best.

I wrote a typescript API generator for ComfyUI, works great - hopefully will have time to release it soon.

I think there's so much unexplored potential in UI and workflows around generative AI, we've barely scratched the surface. Very exciting times ahead!

Segment Anything is neat, but segmentation is far from solved. If the user generates a picture of a horse and rider to add onto another composition - they probably want to include the saddle.

SAM is also conditioned on points, if it's ambiguous what you want to mask you can add a point on the saddle and the model will add it without a problem, segmentation is pretty much solved, I agree with the parent post.

IME I haven't gotten great results using SAM, maybe it was just the images I was using? They weren't great quality and it seemed to struggle with low contrast areas

I believe illustrations have been deemed to be abuse material, so I wouldn’t be surprised if LE have started looking into it.

I bet this will be available as an Automatic1111 extension by end of month.

Not a bad start. One quick suggestion: avoid the temptation to make it overly complex. Stable Diffusion needs to go out to the masses to a greater degree. The unnecessary garbage complexity (eg Comfy's ridiculous noodlescape) that developers keep including into the UIs is holding Stable Diffusion back significantly from a greater mass adoption.

Node based workflows with little DRY capability (i.e. ComfyUI) do get painful as the workflow grows. That said, an http server capabable of executing ML DAGs is extremely useful and a great building block for other tools and UIs to be built upon.

I wrote a typescript API generator for ComfyUI recently and having programmatic access to let you build and send the execution graphs is a game changer. Hoping to have time to release it soon. Same can easily be done for any other language. Exciting stuff!

Out of all the AI-related tools, generative art frontends are probably the thing most likely to radically change and improve in the next few years. It's specifically why I've avoided diving too deep into "prompt engineering", because the kind of incantations required today just aren't going to be the way most people interact with this stuff for very long.

It’s entirely likely that there’s much more effort going into generative text - any perceived advancement of generative images is going to be disproportionately skewed due the richness of information that they hold.

Doesn't this entirely depend both on what its been trained on and what style is being output? But also, philosophically, is it even "theft" to make something in-the-style-of someone? I believe these questions and their complex answers are the reason you've been downvoted.

I understand why the person was downvoted, but not why the person was flagged. It doesn't make sense for someone to flag "AI art is theft." Downvotes because you didn't back up what you mean. Flagged because there are AI fanboys that want to sensor speech perhaps?

Flagged because it was an unsubstantive comment as dang mentioned and also that it's increasingly a flame bait topic on HN, same as with Copilot and licensing.

Geez that’s disturbing. I clicked having no qualms with nudes, artistic or otherwise. I’m not a prude. I’ve seen my fair share of anime girls and AI nudes. Hell, I was raised on the internet before parental settings were a thing, but I didn’t expect that. It’s so gross how it toes a line too.
