>Image generators seem to be on a downward slope in the hype curve. I see fewer complaints on Twitter or other social media and more people actually using it to create beautiful images, of course online galleries are full of AI images, but right now they actually compete with human illustrators, not only for quality but also for composition, style, characters, etc. (thx to LoRAs in particular) Also progress is extremely fast on this research field. >the ones that were generated with careful repetition are expensive unless you and your GPUs' time is worthless. There's actually more to it than pure brute force when generating images with generative models, if you know what you're doing, there's no need for a powerful GPU or wasted time. >just another tool What are they supposed to be if not tools?
