It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Love too smoke through a respirator.

Also lmao at how jarring the inpainted giant tits are because the lighting is all kinds of fucked up.

And I mean it's good that open source models that run on consumer hardware are holding their own, but goddamn if 90+% of the SD community shouldn't be locked up. volcel-judge

no matter how good AI gets it cannot remedy the fact that the STEMcels who champion it as the great equalizer do not have a creative bone in their bodies. just huhuh big boobies and other redditisms.

I've been using NovelAI Diffusion for a month, right, you can get some decently interesting and even abstract shit out of it if you actually aim for it (examples of some of my highlights under dropdown)

The fact that 90% of the AI art I have seen is either conservatives making up things to get mad at, or as the majority of the ones that proudly advertise that they are AI art happen to be, coomers fervently pressing the 'make bazonga bigger sex sex' button, shows that no matter how much techbros try to disrupt the field of art nothing can change the fact that they are creatively bankrupt and fail to fully utilize the tool they've made for themselves.

like AI really shines when you embrace its uncanny, psychedelic nature. it's really good when you know where to dictate specification and where to let the machine fill in the gaps. its like a modular synth. these motherfuckers are effectively trying to hook up a midi keyboard to a modular synth and are very not mad that they can't make catchy pop tunes with it that match the level of deliberate human engineering. the whole bit is to surrender yourself to the flow. embrace the aleatoric nature of it. these motherfuckers know nothing about art.

any creative with even a modicum of appreciation for art and artistic expression can utilize the tools that techbros have made to 'democratize art' infinitely better than them, and they will never grasp why that is if they keep operating under their current heuristic

gender reveal 9/11 from DALL-E mini has more artistic value than 90% of the output of the much more sophisticated text-to-image models that have released since

LOL okay that's amazing. I mean this whole thread is amazing but this is really the cherry on top. Also what gender is yellow I want that one please. Or green, green would be cool too. Can my gender be green?

Yeah, it's an amazingly powerful tool when actually used correctly, because its issues with composition can be solved by sketching and compositing things for it to clean up, and its issues with fucking up certain details can be solved by manually cleaning it up then making it clean the fixes and reintegrate them into the image with inpainting. It's supposedly being quietly used like that in professional contexts already, which is a massive labor issue because that means one basically competent worker can do the work of several skilled workers.

But then all the people spamming it on reddit and twitter are just like generating large batches, grabbing the least jank thing they see, and holding it up as some personal triumph. Sometimes they're clearly not even doing large batches, just like a single generation that looks like shit. There's even a sense that they think cleaning it up and guiding it better is "cheating," as if convincing the inscrutable machine to produce something that's not garbage on its own is some sort of special skill instead of a combination of luck and breaking one's own brain until you can babble the right keywords at it. That's not even getting into the ones who literally think it's magic and that they're creating magic spells to communicate with the infernal machine.

Did you use some of the tohou loras? Back when I messed with sd they were much higher quality than the generic ones.

E: shit now I want to reinstall all that stuff to make 9/11 but the towers are covered in massive weird looking tits.

[–] WhyEssEff@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

NovelAI seems to be trained off of Danbooru, so there's probably a higher representative sample size for it.

That makes sense. It was a lot easier to get reliable clownpiece driving a type 59 than like Conan the barbarian or something.

the future is now, old man. our AI algorithms can put massive tits on any image for the low low cost of a shitton of electricity and stolen artwork

Yeah the lighting is the giveaway that it’s AI art with 90% of it. Not that it always has that weird, unnatural lighting sheen, it just seems to be something these lazy motherfuckers don’t think about when putting their hornball parameters in the prompt.

Real gamers can only goon to images of fake people that are at least 50% boob by body mass
