I predicted back when they started backpedaling that there's a chance that sd1.4 or 1.5 will be the best available model to the general public, for a very long duration, because the backlash will force them to self-castrate themselves.
You can see nobody likes this new model in any of the stable diffusion communities. It's a big flop and for a good reason. The reason it was so
successful in the first place was because you could combine artist names to get the model to the outcome you want.
I'll again remind anyone who thinks they might want to use this to download a working version of SD now. They might break their own libraries in the future, and getting SD1.4 could be a real hassle in a year or so. Getting the right .ckpt file, which can have pickled python malware, is not so trivial, and this will get worse in time.
It's going to diverge into castrated official model that intentionally breaks the older models and older models from unofficial shady sources that might contain malware.

Social media/"AI ethics" pressure groups will eventually come from these organizations (see Meta's recent debacle with Galactica). Being an unknown org without these pressures was a big reason Stable Diffusion got so popular in the first place.
- troad 4y agoAs someone completely unfamiliar with SD but interested in playing around with it in the future, what exactly should I download, to have a fully local instance of 1.4 or 1.5?
