stable diffusion is using a fitness algorithm where it's trained a model by looking at tagged photos and turned them into noise, then it does this process in reverse when you type in a set of tags. bad diagram showing the second half off: there's a lot of muscle being thrown at making outputs better and some of the solutions are pretty creative - you can mask out sections of a generated image to regenerate, use existing photos to generate a 3d model's bones to generate poses from as well as lighting/depth/color, etc. this has taken image generation from "unique curiosity where you can really only make generic cowboy shot portraits or weird uncanny valley landscapes otherwise you get eldritch abominations" to "wow it's kind of neat that it gets the gist of a described pose but there are a million minor things wrong that anyone who ever took one art class would spot immediately" all the attempts at making it more usable involve: - ripping off existing art more efficiently - requiring more user input in order to fix poo poo the computer fucks up both of which raise the obvious question why you'd even bother versus using an actual, talented artist in the first place. (this is a hypothetical question, i know the answer is money) also tbh by presuming there are professionally usable outputs without serious user intervention (manually adjusting a data set, generating thousands of pictures and selecting the best of the lot, then inpainting the winners and repeating generation) you are asking things of the tech it's not capable of following through on

also the narrative that 'the tech is so new, and its already this good!' is also just, fake. ai image generation has existed for over a decade now. there are early examples dating back to like 20 years ago. the tech is not especially new as far as tech goes.

have to admit, the AI is really good at making pictures of stairmaster violently dying that I can send to him on discord

if you're generating your funny meme pictures with an ai you have no work ethic, no heart and will go to hell before you die

here's a little bit of prompt engineering for you. ais don't like when you say "man shooting himself in the head. wearing shirt reading 'stairmaster'" but if you say "man holding metal tube to side of head, fire is coming out of the tube" it just knows what you want and generates a gun. one time it even generated a bullet coming out the other side

Or you just want to make a quick shitpost picture that wouldn't be worth the time/money to actually hire someone to make. knowing what i do about ai art and commissioning artists i do not think the output of ai art is making it easier to show artists what you're going for than description/existing reference. open to the idea i'm wrong, though, might ask some of my artist friends about it. shitposts, like, yeah, but i also don't think it's worth stealing every artist's art in the history of the internet for the purposes of meme generation

odds are if you're generating funny images of anime girls crying in sports shirts or whatever it's just because the ai is pulling that from art someone actually drew somewhere that you just weren't aware of

again tho 'the recent rate of advancement' is largely illusory

when the wave of ai art evangelizing started it was going like "look at this crazy ai painting of homer bro. it's crazy that ai knows how to output a weird drawing of homer" and that's still basically the output we're getting from it. and this was like two years ago they've developed tools that can string together the weird images into something sort of video-like but the actual quality of that output is still like. the same thing. you'd probably get a still image of one of those ai videos if you tried generating a similar thing in the past

the recent rate of improvement doesn't really matter, as tech improvement is not linear. there will be diminishing returns over time for the same amount of effort.The Colonel posted:when the wave of ai art evangelizing started it was going like "look at this crazy ai painting of homer bro. it's crazy that ai knows how to output a weird drawing of homer" and that's still basically the output we're getting from it. and this was like two years ago the big improvement is it knows homer has four fingers a slightly higher percentage of the time and i can generate a picture of homer in a specific pose from an existing photo

the bitcoin comparison is very good because it's taking something that is a cool bit of cs research, something that would be worth ooh'ing and aah'ing over a bit in a basic science sense, and trying to commercialize it when it's either a dead end or not remotely ready or unethical to actually use.

The fact that these technologies are called "artificial intelligence" for the sake of convenience and marketing is misleading because the term to the public implies a degree of sapience, or at least sentience, because that is what science fiction and popular culture has primed the market to imagine. The problem with what we call "AI" is that it cannot understand context, or subtext, such as human intent. This is because it cannot actually understand anything. It is simply making extremely granular predictions (in this case, pixel by pixel to create an image) based on previous examples. It is fundamentally closer to "AI" as in the set of instructions given to a Halo Grunt to make it shoot, give a combat bark, and run away than it is to the actual sapience that sci-fi calls AI. Which is very funny/infuriating when you get people who are so excited about the technology that they think the ai image generator that extrudes the results of their princess peach porn prompts is more sapient than the handicapped children they work with.

hell a halo ai can't, exactly 'understand,' but can be programmed within the rules and constraints of the game halo. a halo grunt doesnt randomly start t-posing and then shooting its gun to create bullet holes in the shape of a racial slur

Halo grunts do shittalk you but you need to activate the IWHBYD skull first. But still no slurs. AI chat does make me want to pull my tablet out and try to get a bit better at digital art. Anyone who wants to steal my bad scribbles for AI generation, well, I question your reasoning.
