The beta discord being semi-public is one of my favourite parts about stable diffusion, because not only are you generating your own 1-9 Rembrandts a minute, so is everyone else and you can see their results, allowing you to iterate that much faster. Feeling lost, your idea just not working out? Jump into one of the other 50 channels and look for something that catches your eye and copy/paste it wholesale into your own channel and exchange one or two words to make it match with what you were going with originally. Its wild!

The discord gives it a collaborative feel which feels much more like early internet. I remember posting in guest books for help on my website as a kid and actually getting it. It's nice to see a return to the more wild west open internet of the 90s.

You're using the tool yeah? Your opinion matters just as much as anyone's, your thoughts on the matter mean something in the greater conversation. Personally I really like the mix of incredibly wild art and the philosophical quandaries associated with it. I straight-up reject your 'go somewhere else I don't want to feel bad' request. :colbert:

Well if you want my honest opinion, art that was made from scratch by a human will always feel special to me because of the skill and effort involved.

Someone PMed me on Discord to explain the error I was getting since I got it a few times in a row (exceeds max steps, from using a seed with a lower case -s).

I think once it tries to get realistic enough as a painting it's not really doing much different from its default which seems to be photograph in this case

I always start simple like Matt Berry watermelon > Matt Berry with a watermelon for a head > Matt Berry with a watermelon shaped like Matt Berry for a head.

Then if I'm mostly getting realistic looking stuff I'll lean into photo terms, if I get more cartoons I lean into that, if I'm going for one or the other for a specific reason I'll force it here too and not earlier.

What I'm doing is look at how the AI is building on what I've put in and trying to mold it to what I want while still giving Stable Diffusion room to be creative itself. Once I lock in the seed I start looking for artifacts and try to describe them as something and get stable diffusion to make them part of the picture. Maybe something I haven't described is present and I can start describing that but fine details are once the seed is locked.

I haven't done a proper generation in a few days, they take 30-60 minutes to get a good final image with this but I can usually tell in under 3 minutes if it's worth exploring.

I've never really used an artist name I know the work for getting some fantastic stuff but I find building something completely original and describing the techniques to be more satisfying.

I admit I started to feel a little bit guilty whipping the bot into giving me another nine fresh Rembrandt's, because whilst the previous eighteen were all masterpieces, none were the specific masterpiece i wanted.
What would the actual man himself have replied to my impossible commission?

I think his plight (whatever that means since he is long dead) is outweighed by the fact that anyone can do this now, even someone who does not even have the means to lift a paintbrush, let alone dedicate their *entire life* to the singular purpose of creating like, five well known pieces of coloured canvas. How many people have had great ideas that never saw the light of day? We will never know, but now at least the playing field will be somewhat more even.

And Rembrandt will forever be remembered as "that cool filter you apply" to make your idea really pop.

I think there will still be a desire for art made entirely by humans. With physical works you will still be able to tell (until the day someone hooks one of these up to a robot arm holding a brush, I guess). For those that value it, having art on your walls or going to a gallery to see the things that people have made will always be preferable to seeing the 900th variation of "Shrek on the moon eating a hot dog with Nicolas Cage" posted to Twitter type of stuff that most people are doing with this.

The rest of what people are doing with this, the more serious stuff, is not what I would consider to be "art" in the sense that you allude to where "feeling" is "coming through." I have seen some very cool stuff made with SD and Dall-E that would (and does) make graphic artists, illustrators, and painters feel jealous and inadequate in terms of technical skill. I have even seen stuff that I thought was inspirational in terms of using the AI work as a jumping off point for something finished and meaningful. I have yet to see any AI generated art that moved me beyond being impressed with the technical wizardry behind it.

I'm not saying that it won't happen. It is after all just a tool. Maybe someone will figure out a way to use it that moves people beyond "wow, neato."

I feel like whoever the person is that accomplishes that will have a huge stigma to overcome. The low bar to entry means that most of what is produced with AI will be cheap and meaningless, however technically impressive or aesthetically pleasing it might be. Especially if what is made is mostly memes or monkeycheese (and so far, most of it is). This is going to color public perceptions of AI work so that anyone who calls themselves an AI artist will have a pretty steep hill to climb.

The problem with AI music is that it's harder to trick our brains to smooth over the imperfections. Bad notes/beats/compositions really stick out. I've been playing around with AIVA, which either takes parameters or a MIDI file as input, and the best I could get after lots of iteration and tweaking was just...ok. Like nothing that wouldn't need a lot of post-production.
