@Merzmensch In a few years, I’d expect we’ll be able to start from a very polished generated image with almost zero prompt, like MJ is doing with v4 today, and simply say: “Whoa! Tone it down, AI”.

@Merzmensch For people that want full creative control and see #GenerativeAI as the latest evolution of the artistic toolset, no matter how hard is to master it, other AI models will hopefully continue to offer the same freedom we see today.

@Merzmensch It’s actually better for the community if MJ, Dall-E, and SD differentiate (at least for a while). So we can have highly specialized tools that can be combined together just like you are doing.

@Merzmensch The MJ v4 approach certainly works better for commercial applications. You won’t go anymore to a stock photos website but you’ll just generate the image you need with a prompt. But for this to work, the effort to generate the image has to be as frictionless as browsing a catalog

Every week I ask the following question: “What is the book that changed your life?” and then I publish the answers I get.
The last 3:

– The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
– Programming Perl
– Earthing

Unofficially, we can already run #stablediffusion on an iPhone. Now imagine #GenerativeAI working on #mixedreality glasses, “repainting” the world around you in real-time, according to the theme you chose (e.g., medieval). Maybe that’s the killer app for every visor, not just #VR https://t.co/kGZFR7uMRN

This artwork, too, does not exist in real life.

I worked on #stablediffusion since its release, and today I can show this, a tribute to my favourite movie ever: The Seventh Seal.

It took endless nights and tens of thousands of generated images to get to this. https://t.co/XWTGJiY6l1

It’s far from perfect (look at that chessboard…) but it doesn’t matter.

What @EMostaque and his team have given the world for free is more than an #AI model.
It’s a chance to speak to those who previously had no voice.

Forever grateful.
