Usually if you upscale you can try "light upscale redo" and not get dramatic changes like that. It might stay a bean.

Also, seems like the bot functionality to generate images for free on the official SD discord is back. Uses SD2.0 and produces 768x768 images.

Apple just released a shiny new implementation that can allegedly run stable diffusion ~3x faster than pytorch. I'm not super clear on how to set it up immediately but I'll definitely be giving this a look.

So far the Mac native version is running slower for me than the other versions (0.5 steps a second for the native swift version versus 1 step a second in Automatic1111) but I assume I’m doing something wrong and that smart people will hook it up to a GUI with all the correct settings next week.

what's super funny to me is that the new model that's in a whitepaper and will be released soon, claims a 500% increase per iteration and 75% less iterations required which ought to put us in a spot where we can do 24 fps video in real time.

So, before we've even begun to understand what any of this actually means for commercial illustrators, we're plunging headlong into procedural, real time video, and the implications of that seem vast and much more interesting to me than simple images. A trivial, not-very-important example: imagine a VR horror game that's got some of this baked in, can track your eyes to see what you're not looking at, infer what you find visually unpleasant, and then spawn monsters, each generation of which is more horrifying to you, personally.

There's tons of industrial applications that instantly come to mind, but I am not rly an Ideas Guy so gods only know what's going to happen when this stuff is baked enough that there's things like Unity / Unreal Engine connectors to it to bring in checkpoints to do specific things in-engine.

I think artists should get on board instead of being intimidated tbh.

Yes, we can all make cool art with enough prompt crafting. But for every awesome looking image we generate we generate hundreds of images of ugly garbage.

And even the nice looking art, it's just not the same as having full control over the scene and layout that you have creating art manually.

So I can generate a thousand thousand images of nice looking art, but unless I have artistic talent of some kind I still can't really tell the ai what the composition in my head looks like, so if I want to truly bring to life something I'm picturing in my mind I still have to get my hands dirty. The machine can only make master copies.

But once we have tools like these in the hands of the majority of actual artists, things are going to get really interesting.

Art isn't a zero sum game. You don't win art.

Art is about creating. A computer is just a tool for creating art. AI isn't going to destroy art the same way Photoshop didn't destroy art and cameras didn't destroy art.

This one was uncannily successful. The cat’s expression really nails a knowing but slightly threatening look that says “Do you really wish to know what is on the other side of this card? Some things cannot be unseen…” i guess it’s just the cocked head and slightly narrowed eyes, but a pretty good gestalt impression..

Yeah TBH getting into this AI art stuff (being a unique intersection of math and computer science with visual art and creativity) has gotten me more interested in other art tools and I signed up for some courses on Blender and Photoshop and stuff. AI art is great for me because it's really easy to get something out of my head onto the screen, then I look at it and think 'wow if I was an artist and could tweak this and this a bit then that would be really cool'.

Honestly I think artists are gonna have to deal with it, it's part of life now I guess? Ain't no way you can stop all the momentum from the AI train. I don't really think this is the AI's fault more as the general fear of Capitalism taking it to a darker place, you know? Well, the potential for it to happen at least, but honestly what the gently caress do I know, maybe it's my inner Luddite that needs to be reigned in with my programmer side.

I am thankful that I decided to keep it as a hobby for me, it was a very smart move for me to pivot into web development when I had the chance almost a decade ago else it'd be harder for me to navigate this topic 😂

Oh yeah as far as all the bad things people predict that AI image (or audio, or anything) generation could lead to - buckle up because it's going to happen.

One solace is that most folks already don't care about what's real or not so maybe not a huge change.

Exactly this. Artists legitimately thought that photography was going to be the end of painting and by extension art, but all it really did was open up creative avenues for people who would otherwise feel excluded from creating things.

I'm pretty good at Photoshop, but I have zero talent with an actual paintbrush, so it lets me express myself creatively.

Ultimately I think more tools for creating art is always better than less tools, in the long run. I can definitely understand the fear though, and in the short term people cracking out budget level commission art for individuals will probably see a drop in requests/valuation.

Good artists are going to do what they always do though, squeeze every drop of utility they can out, and push the boundaries of what is possible.

the wavelength I'm on is that this is at least as disruptive to commercial art as the invention of photoshop was, and also that it will not be the death knell of commercial art, any more than photoshop was.

hilariously I started as a graphic design major in 1999, spent a semester realizing I couldn't draw and another semester realizing I didn't want to put the amount of work in to find out if I even could get good at it. So I pivoted to CS, told myself I'd go into "computer art", got a BA with a minor concentration in digital media... and then just have gone on to have a succession of non-artistic computer toucher jobs, which, so far, have likely worked out better for me than anything else would have up to this point at least.

So, tl;dr on that, "same, kinda". I have dabbled with silly creative things here and there, and to me Stablediffusion has just become more of that.
