Yeah.

I'm saying SD 1.5 and SDXL capture the concepts just fine, it's just during fine-tuning people train away some of the diversity.

This person is so wrong it's basically misinformation.

You should check out this article by Kit Walsh, a senior staff attorney at the EFF. The EFF is a digital rights group who recently won a historic case: border guards now need a warrant to search your phone.

Mainly:

First, copyright law doesn’t prevent you from making factual observations about a work or copying the facts embodied in a work (this is called the “idea/expression distinction”). Rather, copyright forbids you from copying the work’s creative expression in a way that could substitute for the original, and from making “derivative works” when those works copy too much creative expression from the original.

Second, even if a person makes a copy or a derivative work, the use is not infringing if it is a “fair use.” Whether a use is fair depends on a number of factors, including the purpose of the use, the nature of the original work, how much is used, and potential harm to the market for the original work.

and

Even if a court concludes that a model is a derivative work under copyright law, creating the model is likely a lawful fair use. Fair use protects reverse engineering, indexing for search engines, and other forms of analysis that create new knowledge about works or bodies of works. Here, the fact that the model is used to create new works weighs in favor of fair use as does the fact that the model consists of original analysis of the training images in comparison with one another.

And Valve has officially taken the opposite side of what you said, Valve will now allow the vast majority of games AI-generated content on Steam where it didn't before.

You don't need that many parameters, 4gb checkpoints work just fine.

I wouldn't mind. I'm here for it.

It's really hard getting dark skin sometimes. A lot of the time it's not even just the model, LoRAs and Textual Inversions make the skin lighter again so you have to try even harder. It's going to take conscious effort from people to tune models that are inclusive. With the way media is biased right now, I feel like it's going to take a lot of effort.

If we're talking open source models, it's because a lot of the people fine-tuning them are Asian, and have that bias.

Reverse engineering isn't stealing.

The link should work now, but I also found out they were doing this.

They are VERY mad about mods.

The stones will cry out.

It helps to make these smaller. Look at the dark gaps between the interior rocks.

This one took me a while.

I think the difference in artistic expression between modern humans and humans in the past comes down to the material available (like the actual material to draw with).

That is definitely a difference, but even that is a kind of information shared between people, and information itself is what gives everyone something to build on. That gives them a basis on which to advance understanding, instead of wasting time coming up with the same things themselves every time.

Humans can draw without seeing any image ever. Blind people can create art and draw things because we have a different understanding of the world around us than AI has. No human artist needs to look at a thousand or even at 1 picture of a banana to draw one.

Humans don't need representations of things in images because they have the opportunity to interact with the genuine article, and in situations when that is impractical, they can still fall back on images to learn. Someone without sight from birth can't create art the same way a sighted person can.

The way AI sees and “understands” the world and how it generates an image is fundamentally different from how the human brain conveys the object banana into an image of a banana.

That's the beauty of it all, despite that, these models can still output bananas.

I understand. I didn't mean to imply any sort of understanding with the language I used.

I don't understand what you mean, can you elaborate?

Someone else.

It isn't wrong to use copyrighted works for training. Let me quote an article by the EFF here:

First, copyright law doesn’t prevent you from making factual observations about a work or copying the facts embodied in a work (this is called the “idea/expression distinction”). Rather, copyright forbids you from copying the work’s creative expression in a way that could substitute for the original, and from making “derivative works” when those works copy too much creative expression from the original.

What you want would swing the doors open for corporate interference like hindering competition, stifling unwanted speech, and monopolization like nothing we've seen before. There are very good reasons people have these rights, and we shouldn't be trying to change this. Ultimately, it's apparent to me, you are in favor of these things. That you believe artists deserve a monopoly on ideas and non-specific expression, to the detriment of anyone else. If I'm wrong, please explain to me how.

If we’re going by the number of pixels being viewed, then you have to use the same measure for both humans and AIs - and because AIs have to look at billions of images while humans do not, the AI still requires far more pixels than a human does.

Humans benefit from years of evolutionary development and corporeal bodies to explore and interact with their world before they're ever expected to produce complex art. AI need huge datasets to understand patterns to make up for this disadvantage. Nobody pops out of the womb with fully formed fine motor skills, pattern recognition, understanding of cause and effect, shapes, comparison, counting, vocabulary related to art, and spatial reasoning. Datasets are huge and filled with image-caption pairs to teach models all of this from scratch. AI isn't human, and we shouldn't judge it against them, just like we don't judge boats on their rowing ability.

And humans don’t require the most modern art in order to learn to draw at all. Sure, if they want to compete with modern artists, they would need to look at modern artists (for which educational fair use exists, and again the quantity of art being used by the human for this purpose is massively lower than what an AI uses - a human does not need to consume billions of artworks from modern artists in order to learn what the current trends are). But a human could learn to draw, paint, sculpt, etc purely by only looking at public domain and creative commons works, because the process for drawing, say, the human figure (with the right number of fingers!) has not changed in hundreds of years. A human can also just… go outside and draw things they see themselves, because the sky above them and the tree across the street aren’t copyrighted. And in fact, I’d argue that a good artist should go out and find real things to draw.

AI don’t require most modern art in order to learn to make images either, but the range of expression would be limited, just like a human's in this situation. You can see this in cave paintings and early sculptures. They wouldn't be limited to this same degree, but you would still be limited.

It took us 100,000 years to get from cave drawings to Leonard Da Vinci. This is just another step for artists, like Camera Obscura was in the past. It's important to remember that early man was as smart as we are, they just lacked the interconnectivity to exchange ideas that we have.

This company is stingy as hell.
