Midjourney generates more details as it upscales, which can be good, but it also has an option for a smooth upscale

I don't remember the command but it should be in the documentation

Found it

Discord posted:

What is Light Upscale Redo, or —uplight?
When selecting Light Upscale Redo on an upscaled image after selecting U1–4, the image will be re-upscaled by uplight for a softer and slightly less detailed result.
By adding —uplight to the end of your prompt, the U1–4 buttons will automatically use the light upscaler to upscale your images, instead of using the default upscaler.

What is the difference between the default upscaler and the light upscaler/uplight?
The best explanation would be to test it out yourself! In short, the default upscaler adds lots of detail and sometimes extra “AI-ness” to images, which can often differ from the original grid image you chose. The light upscaler/uplight tones down the details and generates a softer image often closer to the original grid image you chose.

Hi all! I finally started to get into this game - I kept getting distracted by shiny objects. Anyhow, even though I'm still dinking around the Rust Wells, I also finally got into the Dall-E 2 Open Beta, and I've been trying to generate Caves of Qud images, like so:

However, I'm not good at generating the longer, more specific text prompts Dall-E seems to require (over stuff like Midjourney, which I can't afford.) I have limited free credits, so I want to make these count, so I guess I'm asking for any suggestions. Remember, the more descriptive and lurid, the better!https://twitter.com/No_X_in_Nixon/status/1558241582712774661?s=20&t=7woWK0EFVt4SA8m5p2RT0Q

Man, the stablediffusion hashtag on twitter is a mixed bag. On one hand, you see some pretty cool poo poo, but on the other hand, people rarely post their prompts, some people just seem to use a trending(?) hashtag to shill their own art or nfts and some people just put stablediffusion, dalle and midjourney and don't specify what they used to make the picture

You need to check spam, they've sent out discord links to everyone that has signed up, probably expired by now. Current beta phase is closed I think. They have taken 100% of sign ups at every wave so far so just sign up again and when they need more people testing things (they have a site coming) you'll get in. Also keep an eye on thread in case they change how that works , someone will post

First mass production and robotics automated a bunch of blue collar jobs and I didn't care because everything was super cheap.

Then business analytics turned the world into a dystopian nightmare and I didn't care because I got a five dollar voucher from Target when they decided I was pregnant.

Then machine learning automated my creative job and I went "why would technology do this to me".

I guess I'm just super frustrated watching artists getting lovely about ML when technology has been loving over more transactional or process driven jobs for decades. I guess they haven't been hypocritical, just ignorant of what's going on around them but it still pisses me off a bit.

They probably genuinely thought that they would be one of the last to go, decades into the future. Can't blame them. I was genuinely surprised by what dall-e 2 can do. I expected that something like this was still at least a decade away.

I really like those. More upscaling and filters would have given it a sharper, more defined look I guess?

edit: The other day I was thinking about how 40k-esque these new image-AIs are. Like, finessing the algorithm to get it to produce the image you want feels like an odd combination of technical know-how (which filters/commands cause what to happen) and associative imagination, completely independent of understanding how the code is working on a fundamental level. Sometimes with my choice of words and attempts at creating a certain lighting or mood, it feels a bit like a tech priest waving incense censers at a piece of tech, while other times I seem to stumble on a "magic word" whose associative significance to the AI is lost on me.

That's my impression as a code-illiterate person who's really fascinated by this stuff, anyway.



I prompted this one with something like "complex dorter trade city, antiquity fantasy style, ivalice, Akihiko Yoshida style, dark fantasy style, uphill street."

For me the most interesting thing about Midjourney is that a lot of it is just experimentally throwing in terms via your associative imagination and seeing what the magic well throws back at you. I'm getting better at manipulating it to get the type of images I want, but the learning process itself, and occasionally just going wild with strings of adjectives, is really magic.

I was thinking writing a forums CYOA-style game/story could be really fun using Midjourney.

Also, I read the bit about the "creative commons" in the online manual. It seems like as long as you're not a company making $1 million+, you could for example use these images combined with something like the makeplayingcards.com website and publish a board game using this art with no issue? (Assuming you're not using images from a specific franchise, I mean.)

Yeah i need to get on this for my CYOAs, i'm convinced

Anybody got advice on how to get started?

weeks I think, SD keep teasing an audio AI and I'm hoping it's music and not just fancy text to speech you can train on a real person to nail their voice.

Just give it time stamps for my favorite parts of songs and make infinite variations of songs like that but not remixes. Now I have an afternoon playlist.

I can't tell if these are better or worse than previous advances, no one can. The cassette tape also lead to widespread copying and piracy of music - and through that, paved the way for an explosion of creativity and the emergence of entire new genres of music.

The Facebook algorithm, by contrast, implanted worms in the brains of millions of people. You win some, you lose some.


My hope (and through wishful thinking also expectation) is that these AIs are not going to displace artists. First of all, they are just regurgitating input that already exists. If you want to create something new out of it, you have to put creative work into it. You have to basically do remix culture, but for visual art.

Second, I can't imagine that people are just cribbing all their D&D concept art or whatever from an AI. Sure you can get a couple of good images. But if you want an entire, internally consistent work you need to put in a significant amount of work yourself. Might just hire the original artist you're copying in that case.



But yeah, I guess when rap and electronic music artists were first taking samples from other musicians and turning those into something new, discussions must have been similar.

I'm hopeful but I definitely see why this is freaking out artists.

This is where artists still have an edge. Ok, I got my cool painting of Snow White wearing power armour but I'll never be able to get the AI to generate a painting of the same character in other situations such as might be required for my fictional web comic "Snow White and the seven brood matriarchs".

It'll be a new slightly different looking Captain S White each time, ruining my continuity (at least until an AI can generate an entire 10,000 strip comic in one go which is just a matter of when not if now.)
