For the moment at least I'm personally more interested in the image applications than video use cases, but even so this is just fantastic for helping to develop an intuition about how the diffusion mechanism works.

It's admirable that you're so modest regarding the antecedent work, but sometimes it's the "obvious in hindsight" compositional insights that really open up the possibility space. Top work!

Maybe I can shine some light on the debate from an concept artist standpoint that works in VFX and advertising. I worked on feature films (3 of them in the imdb top 100), tv shows (like game of thrones) and hundreds of AD campaigns. In the last 10 year the work of a concept artist changed dramatically we have gone from purely painted concept art to mostly "photobashed". Photobashed means basically that you rip apart…

I think Tradionalists and Artists do what they do because they enjoy the process of creating/creating something unique, not because they want to be productive/fast. So yeah, StableDif is great for commercially constrained environments, plus, it frees some of your time so you can enjoy creating art that matters to you :p

> So yeah, StableDif is great for commercially constrained environments

For me, that's the big insight.

Not just SD, but any synthetic media. My take? The "upcoming revolution" is not one of a boss firing their artists and making prompts themselves. It's a shift from addictive art" to subtractive art* in commercial environments.

It is incredible how fast this thing is progressing. Amazing what you can do with some very smart people and 4,000 A100 cluster !

What is getting very clear though and this link proves it out is that 'prompt engineering' is really a thing, I tried this out and it took a while to get something I would consider half decent.

I feel like there is a space here for tools / technologies to 'suggest' prompts based on understanding user intentions. If anyone is actually working on this then reach out to me. Email on profile.

Will models like Stable Diffusion be useful for self-driving car research? Like you've got this large NN with weights that are useful for this vision-adjacent task, it should have learned concepts such as edge detection, which could serve as pretrained weights for a self-driving NN?

My predictions for 10 - 15 years: - Mandela effect for famous art pieces: "Monalisa was AI generated" "No it wasn't" "Yes it was". - Art critics will get the last laugh, as people start giving them truckloads of money to ask whether a piece of art is human or AI generated.

- Each image or painting should have a reference to the organization maintaining it

- The organization produces hashes for its artworks

- Users compare hashes

- Problem solved

I feel like I’m watching an explosion of progress in AI image generation in real-time. Every day there’s a new application of Stable Diffusion. It’s incredible to watch unfold

I think it's pretty notable how most of the explosion happened since stable diffusion released their model and code as open source, while Dall-E generated initial excitement with their closed source model, but limited progress / creativity since. It's a pretty nice demonstration I think of how much innovation can happen from openness.

Wow, this is incredible. AI tech has been so interesting to follow along lately.

Is there something like an index of cool new AI projects that is easy to follow? HN works for this to an extent but I’d love to track more closely.
