"tell me ___ without telling me" is reddit-style trash trope conversation, please keep it over on reddit, or facebook, or anywhere else, please.

You can fix the faces with inpainting. Or Automatic1111's repo has several face restoration tools built in.

  Every step like that, like image-to-image, adds to how much time you put into it, which is relevant to the buy versus generate yourself question.

    There is some skill involved but once you know how to use the tools it does not take long to generate a good image and upscale it. If a good stock photo exists I think I'd prefer that, but the real power in AI is to avoid hiring someone to create something original. I agree that anatomy and hands are a problem. Give it 6-12 months and they won't be. That's how fast things are moving at the moment!

      I think what is needed is specialized models. Say that you're in a business in which you just need pictures of residential interior designs and nothing else. A model which is just trained on billions of images of interiors is going to work better than one trained on billions of images of everything.

        Agreed, but strictly speaking the model would probably still be based on a general model such as Stable Diffusion, then "fine-tuned" to render only interior designs. For example the NovelAI anime image generator was based on SD then fine tuned on anime art, and it works incredibly well - it can generate anime art of basically anything you ask, because the model has the wide knowledge of the Stable Diffusion model but is fine tuned to the anime art style.
