Wasn't SD1.5 trained on LAION? So we know what it was and you could recreate it.
Although I thought LAION was why SD1.5 is kinda ugly at base settings because LAION is just random images both good and bad content and quality not aesthetic and high quality images.
- philipkglass 2y agoThe LAION datasets don't contain actual images, but URLs pointing to images. Due to link rot and deliberate scraper-blocking it may be difficult to download LAION images to retrain a model to match SD 1.5.
- Blackthorn 2y agoLow-quality, non-aesthetic (but still natural) images are still pretty important for training a high quality, diverse model. Also unless someone saved the actual data somewhere and will make it available, LAION-5B is rotted away.
