It's difficult to get the AI to generate legible text. I had to pass on many good images because the text was gibberish.

It is getting much better and getting better all the time. Remember when

you couldn't get any readable text?

At some point, I just say, "Good enough is good enough!" Even with in painting, it's still difficult to get everything perfect. And I have next to zero Photoshop skills. So that's not an option!

Oh, don't think that it isn't impressive or a problem. It is great. Much better than just a year ago. Nothing to complain about. 

Imagine if they keep on this route in an year, 5 or even 10.  

AI is getting better. 

Some fingertip issues. The bottom part is faided and blended into the hip. The background chairs legs seem to be shaped differently depending on where they are. 

The face is really good. The air is excellent. Shoulders ... not too sure about the structure. The top of the arms seem a bit like football shape but not bad. The bellybutton is quite well palced IMO. The stomach and for the most part the hips are good. (Slight line above the blended bottom. However, that coudl have just been a natural fat line from pants or such) 

Bottom line. You have to really look and look hard to find minor issues. AI is getting really good. 

Dirty girls. 

Clean fun! 
 

They are serious!  You need a degree in programing and AI lol. 
Cool though. Looks like something that t least won't start to give you BS as you start your processes like some sites. would 

What service is used for these ? 

Liking it so far?

Nothing based on this new AI model, but I made a few outfits based on images generated from the old model.

That works as well!  

hey @doublezero

have you thought or tried to make some of your outfits or at least something that looks like it on these models.  A challenge yes, but if it works it would be pretty cool

Ah the part of the foot that was messed up is found in this photo lol. Ol' crab hands Hanna!

Much better than just a couple of years ago. Hell even last year. Unless this is a new AI 

Yes, much better even the reflections are better (glasses) You have to make an effor to look for errors.

Yes, AI is stupid. You'd think the AI would filter out amputees and conjoined twins if the user didn't specifically ask for them.

It should. No reason to include it. Unless it was trained with that. Which would be super weaird IMO

So it is AI. Right? Why would you need to load up on such negative prompts such as missing hands or even multiple heads?  If it can understand the negative prompts and correct them, shouldn't it automatically as default use the correct ones? What exactly are the creators training these AIs on? Lol

I'll post photos of the miniatures project I'm working on now (in the hobbies forum) IF I finish it!

You don' t have to post a finished project, you can post progress and processes   A finished project looks great! People like seeing things like that. However, people that do the same hobby as you, would really like to see and comment and such for the process ....  Just depends on you. What you want to give. All is good.

A long time ago someone explained a process they used. They would have x number of steps in a project. They divided those steps up in days. Now here is the interesting part at least for them it worked. They would have times that they would like to work on x part of the project or y part. They had these steps on their workspace avaialble. There would be several projects that they were working on (the same type of project) and they would be able to come in and work on the part they liked the most. Then they would do another part a little while later to keep the parts available for them in the future. This also works for people working on mods or such. Anything that can be broken up and allowed to hang around for a time.

Another thing that I  use personally is reward when I don't want to do something. I start it for a 15 minute project or something and reward myself. I can stop if I desire later. Often I end up doing more than I promised myself. For me getting started was the main issue.

For the record, I'm pro AI but I don't think it's going to be the "Magic Spell" the average person conceives it. It's another tool in the box. You're still going to need someone with talent to make it work.

When I was a working musician, I met a lot of guys who had top of the line guitar rigs and couldn't play a fucking decent riff. Then there'd be another guy with a combo amp, beat to shit guitar and a few stomp boxes who would blow the audience's hair off. 

Still gonna need that human touch. AI will eliminate a lot of the busy work. For example, I met a programmer who uses it to write basic outlines but he still has to tweak them to get them to work. But he pointed out that it removes hours of time he has to spend building the basic framework. 

So yeah...I see it as another leap forward but hardly the miracle people think it's going to be. And like any other skill, you're still gonna need a guy with experience to pull the levers.

AI is a great tool to help inspire and give concepts to start working on for the artist be it a writer or a graphics artist etc. The end all and be all, no.  It is far from that level now. Not sure if it ever woudl be.

When humanity was in analogue, we aspired for digital. The exacting perfection and predictability. Now that we are more digital and technology is so advancd, many are moving to analogue simpler way of  life.

Okay, now you're just being nit-picky...

So you don't want to hear about the other issues? LOL

It is still great. For those that were older here and think back this would have been almost unthought of except in the most craziest sci fi stores. The ability to create something like this. Hell, they would have been happy if it could write a sentence that made any sense

The frustrating part is I want to read some of those articles!

You can use this

https://www.lipsum.com/

Make it look like an article and fill out the magazine. Then just add the excellent photos you make to the article. Make it look like it is an actual article.

(just keep the title )

I like the off center wine glass stem, too!

The glass lip is also not level.

that's a good computer AI generated christmas present

(fingers on the right hand funky.)

Well....

The judgement for "Better" is subjective.

So yes. Depending on your desires and wants lol

The photo is an excellent example of that!

If they were an indie studio living in shoestring budget that would be understandable, but resources are the last thing they lack also they could have integrated the ‘unofficial patches’ with the official releases a long time ago instead of reselling the old buggy game again and again, and again.

Yeah I know, beating dead horse...

Yes you are beating a dead horse. However, for a few dollars you can buy it some horse armor!

Fix the bugs first, Todd.

The bugs ARE A FEATURE! lol.

Hell, keep the bugs if he goes back to the storytelling and game play of Morrowind or even Obllivion. Provide the tools necessary or at least allow the tools to be used (backend in reasonable order so mod authors cando their work) and all would be fine by me.

It wouldn't be a bugthesda game without the bugs.

Now that is the most apparoprate Jedi photo I have seen. lol
