Eh? It's automated statistical learning. Yes, it's very cool, but it is far from AGI, let alone magic. I am playing around with SD right now - pulling sleepless nights because it's so fascinating, but I do get to see the patterns. Generating unreal, magical stuff is actually a lot of fun, but if you want it to generate something that makes sense - good luck. It is really hard. I can get Elizabeth Olsen into a Halo suit in a war zone on an alien world, but getting her to sit in a car like a normal human being has been impossible. It's always some twisted horror show. The predictive model does not know what to do with it and how it all fits. That's after you clean up all the anatomical nightmare fuel like the fingers situation. This is why most of the SD artwork you see are magical elf girls in the foreground or some unearthly monsters. A well-defined subject in the foreground (a human-ish one), it will do VERY well. If you really want to get your imagination going with every little detail being near-perfect, you will be busy. Oh, and the text - it obviously cannot do text. It's in the right place, but it looks funny. This is amazing tech, but it's not about to go sentient and kill me at night.

No no, I feel the OP is onto something. > obeys some laws of physics we still haven't figured out. That statement might have been over the top, but I think they're right with respect to the information. Spatial logic, optics, signal processing, reasoning. It's beginning to feel like there's an interesting representation that cross-cuts these spaces in a powerful, generalizable way.

Agreed. I've generated tens of thousands of images with AI between Midjourney, Dall-E, and Stable Diffusion and yeah. The patterns almost ruin it for me. It's super interesting and a really cool tech but yeah at this point I can pretty much look at a picture and recognize it's AI generated just by the "vibe." Like you're saying, it's always this over focused single-subject image with a generic background. Like you said, as well, it's impossible to do some of the stuff that seems super simple but based in reality where completely dream-like images are generally pretty automatic. It's cool and, when I have another project that I need it for, I'll go nuts with it again but I kind of lost interest in just generating images to experiment because the experimentation stopped netting interesting results. It was just always the same stuff.
