Welp that was a great test to see if I could make this program work!
The base SD 1.5 checkpoint was putting out rear end from the prompt. So went and grabbed DreamShaper and got a much nicer result.

Pretty fun software. Thanks KwegiboHB for the quick start explainer and telephone game idea.

Base SD 1.5 is still great for some classical painting styles but really can't keep up compared to fine tuned models and model blends for anything modern or realistic.

Telephone looks like it'll just go around in circles, but here's what I got out of the Interrogator webUI extension, probably same but different compared to the img2img interrogate button:

quote:

"woman wearing headphones in a neon city, cyberpunk art by Ilya Kuvshinov, cgsociety, computer art, girl wearing headphones, cyberpunk headset, beautiful cyberpunk girl face"
but the extension will also tell you the other things that the interrogator picked up:

I spent way too long on this, faffing about with different models, samplers, CFG values, and using img2img for upscaling & loopback and I'm still not satisfied, AI artgen isn't for would-be perfectionists who lack editing skills. I ended up settling for these, though I still couldn't pick just one:





Perhaps running Stable Diffusion locally is for people who don't mind using Linux. The auto1111 webui has a very gentle learning curve, but it does have one if you're trying to get the results just as you want them. I ended up merging models to try and clear up some of the clutter that the first attempts were getting, with some success.

I can imagine that at least some of the next generation of writers will be using AI artgen to help visualize/storyboard their works, plus the randomness of txt2img may help rattle the can when writer's block sets in.

Well, the way it works now, the thing people consider "stealing," is everyone having access to the global dataset.

The "ethical" version is large corporations owning their own gigantic datasets which individuals just can't compete with. The corps will own the copyrights to those datasets. But like what was posted, they may have stuff in those datasets they don't own the copyright for, but opting out and even knowing you have to opt out is the problem.

So all you as an individual artist will have copyright for is your small Artstation portfolio, which will somehow have to compete with giant corps with giant datasets who can make art with the press of a button, and are probably gong to get way more business and be better at selling their content than you are. Although Disney probably won't be in the commissioned furry porn market, so you might be safe there.

Also there's the issue of open source art, which is only going to get better, running on consumer hardware in someone's bedroom and eventually on phones when phones are powerful enough. And you have to somehow be able to tell with 100% accuracy that it's not copyright breaking AI art, so you can compete with that as well.

Then there's even the questions of whether copyright and renting IP is a good thing. I'm not an educated man, so I'm not sure what the difference is between being a landlord/rent-seeker and owning copyright, and it confuses me why the people who say the former is bad support the latter.

My question was just whether the copyright laws are different in letters and art, because people are talking IP issues for visual art and the LLM people seem to have best practices in place that everyone so far follows, and nobody talks about "stealing." (Not my term.)

Got a week and $50k? You're in luck!
Back in January they posted it took 13 days and $160k and in less than 5 months optimizations have brought it down to half the time and a third the cost.
I have no idea how much further it will come down in another 5 months, probably in the range a small studio could easily do.
This is for training billions of images, an important thing a lot of people are finding is, the largest dataset isn't always the best. It's looking more and more like small bespoke models laser focused on whatever topic out perform large general models by far.
A much smaller set trained on 'just' millions of images is going to be in the range of everyone "soon" (tm).

The distributors are the ones crying the loudest, the middle-men farthest from whoever pushes pencil or pen or brush. They are the ones demanding a dollar before they pass on a few cents to the actual artists. Never forget that.
If you need it, I personally give you a worldwide unrevocable royalty-free license to just have guilt-free fun.

This is a longer piece on the history of censorship and the origins of copyright. It's well worth a read because the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Ok, no more debate, except maybe debating why AI art, which I keep being told is a magic Do Anything You Want button no human can compete with, has problems making me a picture of a girl in a futuristic exosuit in a Vogue photoshoot.

One of my characters wears a time travel suit. MJ can crank out amazing looking stuff all day just by mentioning "exosuit." Example:


So I thought it would be amusing to have her wearing her time travel exosuit in a glamorous Vogue photoshoot. Stole a prompt off Twitter, changed it, and this happened:
glamour photo, medium overhead shot from above, sharp focus low-light photography shot on Fujifilm, capturing Zoey Deutch with tired eyes resting on a tufted couch, wearing a high-tech exosuit, luxurious Parisian mansion, dim chandelier lighting, elegant, glamorous, sophisticated. It's been a long night. --ar 16:9 --v 5


Ok, what the gently caress. Got a bunch of those while playing with prompts, this was the best I could get:
capturing Zoey Deutch wearing a high-tech exosuit. Zoey has tired eyes. Background is a luxurious Parisian mansion, dim chandelier lighting. medium overhead shot from above, sharp focus low-light photography shot on Fujifilm. --ar 16:9 --v 5


So they're "fancy" exosuits, and some like they're made of photography equipment like you would see in a behind the scenes of a Vogue photoshoot. It keeps trying to make stuff from the same little Vogue world, instead of combining things from two different settings.
MJ 5.1 with default and with --style raw is a little better, because they at least look sci-fi, but still "fancy" and not like the one in the very first image.


tried specifying styles of No Man's Sky and Fallout Power Armor. Still not right, still "fancy."


So while the pics are interesting, I would still have to get better at using PS and/or find an artist to actually make the specific thing I wanted.

You really need to combine with Stable Diffusion to tweak your images. For just firing off 'lets do polaroids lmao' MidJourney is great, and for getting baselines it's also great, but it's extremely restrictive. The reason it doesn't want to power armor your posing photoshoot woman is because women don't wear power armor in vouge photoshoots, they wear pretty gowns and lounge on sofas.



This is one single pass after cropping your image in Stable Diffusion via inpainting and 'Realistic Vision V20' checkpoint, using Auto1111. I say this because I did no effort at all. You can go so much further if you just reach in and tweak it a bit, change their facial expressions or whatever too. It's incredibly powerful for photo editing

At first I thought the idea of telephone was use image to prompt to get a prompt from the image in various programs and generate away letting the next person do the same in their software.

There's no way to do it in Bing, but I thought MJ had a way, I know SD has 2 ways (at least) and they produce different results and use different methods.

Start with this prompt:

Zoey Deutch posing for a photoshoot wearing a mechanical high-tech exosuit, tired eyes and mood lighting, lounging on a leather chaise, photographed in a parisian mansion in the evening, full length portraiture --ar 3:2

To get this in a grid:


Using the variation button with remix mode on in Midjourney, change the prompt to:

Zoey Deutch wearing a armored mechanical high-tech exosuit, tired eyes and mood lighting, lounging on a leather chaise, photographed in a parisian mansion in the evening, full length portraiture --ar 3:2



Remix the variation again:

Zoey Deutch wearing a armored mechanical high-tech exosuit with orange elements, tired eyes and mood lighting, lounging on a leather chaise, photographed in a parisian mansion in the evening, full length portraiture --ar 3:2


or
Zoey Deutch wearing a heavily armored mechanical high-tech exosuit with hunter orange accents, tired eyes and mood lighting, lounging on a leather chaise, photographed in a parisian mansion in the evening, full length portraiture --ar 3:2


or
Zoey Deutch wearing bulky and heavily armored mechanical high-tech exosuit, the exosuit is hunter orange and gunmetal grey, tired eyes and mood lighting, lounging on a leather chaise, photographed in a parisian mansion in the evening, full length portraiture --ar 3:2



In short, set up the pose/setting with the first prompt, then use remix to remove keywords that seem to have weighting in the direction you're not really aiming for (in this case, removing "posing for a photoshoot" tones down the fanciness it seems, allowing some flexibility with the suit). These could still be improved upon, but the basis for a better exosuit seems to be there.

Got something reasonable in Bing with "woman wearing lightweight power armor, laying on the sofa, bulky attachments"

that last bit on bulky attachments doesn't seem to be much but something should be there the first too feel like they are missing something. Maybe just flagging some lighting or camera direction would be enough. Oddly it *really* likes to put feet in the image set.

This is the basic idea of ordering for strength. Whichever token is first gets most emphasis. I don't know if Midjourney allows token weighing like Stable Diffusion does, (token:1.2) would be a 20% taller starting curve with longer fall off for instance.
