Is removing rejects not a way to pick only the best?
- O__________O 4y agoTo me, there’s no right answer, hence why I listed set of examples and ended list with etc. Based on my own experience, selecting images that fit the prompt and images that just happened to be generally speaking a fit for the creator are different modes of producing outputs to share. That said, as it relates to the topic of this HN post, understanding the systems, assumption, workflow, etc used to render the survey, its content, and results to me are vital to understanding what actually going on.
- dec0dedab0de 4y agoIs removing rejects not a way to pick only the best? It is not, unless your rejection criteria is "everything that is not the best." However, if your rejection criteria is "not meeting basic requirements" then you are left with the best, and the second best and the middle, all the way down to the bottom of adequate.
- Xelynega 4y agoSo if "basic requirements" in this case are "on first glance like a face good enough to fool a human", I don't see how you could have a "best" criteria that's significantly different without accounting for the odd glitches in the current set. You're making a distinction that I understand can exits. I'm just failing to see where it exists in this case.
