While I think the twitter post author is being a bit of an ass, they’re sort of right about the overvaluing we’ve put on simply better prompts. I wrote an opinionated GitHub gist about this exact issue: https://gist.github.com/Hellisotherpeople/45c619ee22aac6865ca4bb328eb58faf https://gist.github.com/Hellisotherpeople/45c619ee22aac6865c... I do the whole NLP publishing thing and I’ve hesitated to “write a paper” about applying techniques already known and used everywhere in the stable diffusion community to NLP models. That said, the AI community loves to pretend like they discovered something, such as a recent paper purporting to be the first to do “concept slider” Lora’s, despite these existing for months before that work was published on Civit.ai. The authors of course didn’t cite those already existing models. Everyone chasing citations and clout hard right now because these professors and researchers realize that they only have 5-10 years before AI eats their jobs and most other white collar jobs. I don’t blame them. I want my mortgage paid off before I’m automated away!
