In a way it's just an algorithm than can compress either text or an image. The neat trick is that if you compress the text "brown bear hitting Vladimir Putin" and then decompress it as an image, you get an image of a bear hitting Vladimir Putin.
This principle is the idea behind all Stable Diffusion models, this one "just" achieved a much better compression ratio
- pxoe 3y agowell yeah. but it's not so much about what it actually does, but how they talk about it. maybe (probably) i missed them putting out something that's described like that before, but it's just the open admission in demonstration of it. i guess they're getting more brazen, given than they're not really getting punished for what they're doing, be it piracy or infringement or whatever.
- Filligree 3y agoThe model works on compressed data. That's all it is. Sure, it could output a picture from its training set on decompression, but only if you feed that same picture into the compressor. In which case what are you doing, exactly? Normally you feed it a text prompt instead, which won't compress to the same thing.
