So I just tried beta.dreamstudio.ai, and am a bit underwhelmed.. It's compositions generally look silly or completely ignore the instructions, even if I turn cfg way up. I was generally generating 9 compositions at a time, here's some of the things I've tried:
"An elf fighting an orc in a forest"
Half the images had christmas elves so it's obviously bad at context, half looked like miniatures (models like games workshop), so it's obviously got a load of its data from pictures of miniature but doesn't realize and thinks that's what it should draw, and the "fighting" always looked pathetic.
"A human berserker with an axe fighting 3 orcs in the desert"
That had problems with actually putting a human in. Also no axe. Orcs designs were obviously stolen from LotR films orc design, the actual breath of orc designs in fantasy didn't seem to be represented at all. Often the weapons are for some inexplicable reason only part drawn.
"A space elevator leading up from new york"
Was a little more promising, but looks pretty amateurish, just a picture of a space elevator transposed over a picture of new york with terrible lighting, though it was choosing half decent perspectives.
"A 12th century castle on a hill in a hellscape surrounded by demon hordes"
Pretty much ignored everything after "castle", just a bunch of 12th century looking castles.
"A castle on a hill in a hellscape surrounded by demon hordes"
None of the 9 images generated has any sort of demons, it just coloured some castle a bit red.
I think artists are safe for another few years.

You're supposed to be very detailed in your prompts. Also the online demos tend to not let you tweak parameters. You get more options if you run the model yourself
- fleddr 4y agoYour experience is quite common, especially when new to prompting. You can get more control by checking prompt guides, but this still leaves a lot to be desired. You seem to have missed the main point of the article this thread is based-on though. With img2img, you can input a kid-level MS paint input and control composition in detail. With inpainting you fix individual parts, with outpainting the surroundings/background. With text inversion, you can reuse successful parts in any context. People are even making the first videos and animations. All of this is available today, not years from now. The workflows are still clumsy, but it's been a week. Many people are working on the UI to streamline all of this. You're severely underestimating progress.
