Why is it impossible to generate a male model wearing anything other than rolled denim jean shorts? I've tried things like "long pants" or "ankle-length pants," but I cannot get it to stop putting them all in denim shorts!

The first female model I generated was supposed to be wearing jeans but was wearing what can only be described as a denim belt with pockets

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…

> everyone knows GANs don't work because they're too unstable

Is that a wide spread myth? I thought it’s widely accepted that GAN is really good generating these artificial pictures (it’s what started DeepFake after all) when you know your model’s “button”. Similar to how this uses GAN since they have a model “boundary condition”. While humans are diverse, we have a set of repeatable features (two legs, two arms, etc). Diffusion models are great because you can control the latent space with something way more generic, like text hence why it’s been so much more mainstream.

Edit: actually I might be misremembering, I think Deepfake used VAEs?

The first photo generated for me made everything look plastic. Unnatural sharp lines on everything. Shadows from 5 different directions.

It’s laughable to call these “hyperrealistic”.

What I’m really wondering is how can this be free. What is the business model here? Are they using me to refine the model in some way?

It says free for non-commercial. If commercial, contact us. I assume they plan on paying the bills with commercial work.

The first image i generated was worse than that A mermaid with plastic looking skin, and badly rendered ocean water in background. https://generated.photos/human-generator/64d6dde03af7f90007c...

Looks as realistic as every other real mermaid I’ve seen ;-)

> “If you want to use images produced by Human Generator in commercial projects, contact us.” If there is no copyright in AI-generated images, then how can they possibly enforce this?

There haven't been any solid rulings on the copyright validity of human-driven AI generation yet. There have been a few cases, but they've been muddied by complicating factors (not a human doing the generation - that is, autonomous generation - or the generation being used as a base work for something else). Additionally, even if there's no copyright, the terms of service may still apply separately (see OpenAI disall…

I don’t think we’re going to see a ruling against copyright in the long term. When the rulings do come, they’re going to be complex (not that copyright law isn’t already complex). As prompting and working with AIs slowly becomes its own art and skill, it will become clear that works need protection. We’ve had “intelligent” filters and tools in Photoshop for decades, this is just the next step in that evolution.

The only real problem here is that the original creators of the art that these AIs were trained on didn’t consent to this type of use and aren’t getting any kind of attribution or payment. If they were recognized and compensated, there’d be really nothing to talk about here - any work could be copyrighted, with whatever derivative status the AI bakes in.

They are overselling the capabilities of their model a bit. The boy posing has facial artifacts, and the first “human” I generated is a painterly mermaid with a disjointed background. Results from photoai.com or many models available on civit.ai look a lot more realistic.

I can count on one hand the number of ways these photos fail. That's right, 6 ways.

Count Rugen sees no problem with this.
