  • Inpainting/guiding from a sketch is how I've always used diffusion models. I thought everyone did that, or at least everyone who wasn't just trying to get some arbitrary filler material without much care of what the output looked like.

  • We've been doing this for a long time now, it's similar to using a depth map or a line drawing to control the silhouette.

  • The standard objection: if the LLM is supposedly intelligent, why can’t it figure out on its own that this two-step process would achieve a better result?

  • This hack definitely falls in the “duh, why didn’t I think of that” category of tricks, but glad to now have it next time imagegen comes up short

  • This is just img2img where first image with correct structure was generated by code.

  • I found a simple technique to get reliable text and numbers in AI generated images.

    I’m surprised the image models aren’t already doing this, so wanted to share since I’m finding this so useful

  • > Transform this image into a photographed claymation diorama of assorted artisan chocolates and candies […] viewed from a low-angle

    Side note: whenever I read prompts for image generation, I notice very specific details which the model obviously ignored. Here the chocolates / candies in the last two images look anything but artisanal. They look very "sterile" and mass-produced. The viewing angle is also not accurate.

    Why do we even bother writing such elaborate prompts, when the model ignores most of it anyway?

  • I'm glad that we're making progress towards a deeper understanding of what LLMs are inherently good at and what they're inherently bad at (not to say incapable of doing, but stuff that is less likely to work due to fundamental limitations).

    There's similarity here with, for example, defining the architecture of software, but letting an LLM write the functions. Or asking an LLM to write you the SQL query for your data analysis, rather than asking it to do your data analysis for you.

    What I'd really like to see is a more well defined taxonomy of work and studies on which bits work well with LLMs and which don't. I understand some of this intuitively, but am still building my intuition, and I see people tripping up on this all the time.
