You know if there were real photos of politicians cheating, they can now say its all fake AI photos and move on. We may not even notice.

And honestly after Trump, who cares about cheating politicians anyway?

Journalists will have to go back to doing actual research with serious attribution instead of just compiling 5 Twitter posts on the topic.

So for these, they could go look at the small details, and notice how awful small the bed in Obama's hotel room looks, or odd the pile of towels in the background look.

But if the photo were real, they'd be pulling their hair out trying to find any of the AI related quirks.

Though, months ago, people in AI photos uses to have as many as 10 fingers per hand, so it looks like it's getting smarter.

If politicians don't want to be seen cheating how come there's so much training data of cheating politicians?

Midjourney is shit anyway with their censorship. You can do better stuff with stable diffusion and it's free

[–] fidodo@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Midjourney was amazingly ahead but once the ideas proliferated everyone else caught up super quickly. I've seen things about on par with midjourney from people running stable diffusion locally on their home machines.

Welp. There's one good reason to use Automatic1111. Its all hosted on your local machine. No internet required

Not saying this is right, but I was trying to make some cute cartoon pictures for my niece of a girl that looked like her and a weiner dog doing silly things.

I guess certain keywords were blocked... but I was able to pull it off on A1111

Also. It's trainable

I love finding the details in AI generated photos that make it obvious that it's AI generated.

I see humans now have 4 fingers and a thumb on each hand, sometimes all 4 fingers identical.

The bed in Obama's photo looks like it's a square foot. Idk what all the crap on the counter is supposed to be but that pile of towels below it looks like long white fluffy pasta lol.
