This explosion of AI-generated imagery will result in an explosion of millions of fake images, obivously. Perhaps in the short-term this is fun, but in the long-term, we will lose a bit more scarcity, which is not that great in my opinion. Isn't the best part of a meal eating after you've not had anything to eat for a while? The best part about a kiss that you've quenched the pain of missing your partner? The best pa…

Seeing the "less art needs to exist" perspective is certainly a first time for me on this topic.

Amazing that their examples at the bottom of the page still show really messed up human hands.

Some of them look surprisingly correct, so it looks like there's been at least some progress on that front. I would assume these are among the best examples of many, many attempts so it still seems to be a ways off.

It sounds like after the previous 0.9 version there was some refining done: > The refining process has produced a model that generates more vibrant and accurate colors, with better contrast, lighting, and shadows than its predecessor. The imaging process is also streamlined to deliver quicker results, yielding full 1-megapixel (1024x1024) resolution images in seconds in multiple aspect ratios. Sounds pretty impressiv…

They have bots in their discord for generating images bases on user prompts. Those randomize some settings, compare candidate models and are used for rlhf fine-tuning and that's the main source of refining which will continue even after release.

I will wait for the automatic1111 web ui version

It's already supported in automatic1111 (see recent updates), and someone in the community will convert it to the automatic1111 format within minutes/hours after it's released on huggingface.

Sort of. IIRC (which may be unlikely) Auto1111 has the base model in the text to image plane, but if you want to use the refiner that is a separate IMG2IMG step/tab. Which would be a pain in the ass imo.

The "Comfy" tool is node based and you can string both together which is nice. Although if you aren't confident in your images you don't need the refiner for a bit.

whats the memory usage of sdxl ?

It depends greatly on your UI and the size you are generating. There is no hard answer.

I'm out of date on the image-generating side of AI, but I'd like to check things out. What's the best tool for image generation that's available on a website right now? Ie, not a model that I have to run locally.

I think you have this backwards, Capitalism loves scarcity. Scarcity is what allows for supply and demand curves and profit-making opportunities, even better if you can control the scarcity. Capitalist entities are constantly attempting to use laws, technology, and market power to add scarcity to places where it didn't previously exist.

I'm pretty sure that lots of things end up being scarce in totalitarian forms of government... food, for one.

In the meantime I've been getting good mileage out of Kandinsky - anyone got a good sense of how they compare?

This is the first I have heard of Kandinsky. Thanks for the tip.

SDXL is a bigger model. There are some subjective comparison posts with SDXL 0.9, but I can't see them since they are on X :/

A lot of downvotes. I can relate to it a little bit. During beginning of covid I was in SE Asia at airbnb that didn't have laundry machine - since in SE Asia you don't need it generally because there is so many cheap per kg laundry services around. When for the first month I had to hand wash my clothes I really appreciated having a laundry machine after moving to another airbnb that had one - you take some things for granted.

But no, I wouldn't want to hand wash my laundry more often. For the same reason probably I still prefer using a lighter when having a BBQ than a flint.
