>Stable Diffusion was novel at the time, but now their models consistently seem to be somewhat second rate compared to other things out there. For example Midjourney now seems to have far surpassed them in the image generation front.
This isn’t entirely true, after the fumble that was SD2 they shipped SDXL and SDXL Turbo that are both excellent. And in real world results Midjourney doesn’t just straight out perform them it’s a lot more complex and ultimately SDXL is the more powerful tool.
Definitely found the LLMs underwhelming and Stable Audios launch was poor but don’t think Midjourney has outright surpassed them on image gen.
- wincy 3y agoFor what I’d call “art” or at least artsy works, or anything I want to iterate on (using inpainting and redraws) I want to make I use stable diffusion, but if I just want to send some dumb silly picture to send to my friend I’ve found myself using DALL-E almost every single day. It’s just so easy and in 4 images it’ll almost always get pretty close to what I’m describing. I’m constantly sending my friends dumb pictures because it’s really funny and gets a laugh out of people. That said it was super cool the time I trained a model on my friends selfies and made her into her D&D character. She was super excited about it, made me feel like a real life wizard.
