I recognize several of those as Stable Diffusion models (Deliberate, Photogen, Realistic Vision) so I assume the rest are as well. Many of them are basically reblends of the basic SD 1.4 or 1.5 model and, yeah, usually with an eye towards either realism or anime. You might have trouble seeing the differences between some: Deliberate & R.Vision, in my experience, are pretty close to the same thing. Photogen is a little more “real” but does horribly at most celebrities for whatever reason.
The new mods must be popular–I’m getting server overload errors for the first time.
Those filters are basically just sets of prompts that are added to whatever your prompts are, right?
A few simple ones are. The more influential ones are Loras or Dreambooth training. They are ways to take the open-source database for a Stable Diffusion and give it extra training.
For instance, yesterday I mentioned wishing that Playground would add Realism Engine. That is this:
I love doing comparisons and weird prompts, so here is
Calavera snail trilobite girl | dry cracked mud gothic horror | by Junji ito, Toume kei, Dan Witz, Mark Ryden, Margaret Keane, Pino Daeni, Mab Graves, Carne Griffiths | Polaroid, Kodachrome, Ektar | Professional photography, bokeh, natural lighting
In vanilla SD 1.5:

The Realism Engine images were created at Dreamlike Art, which gives you 24 free credits per day and charges 2.6 credits for one Realism Engine image. The rest were created at Playground AI, which lets you create 1,000 free images a day.
(ETA are the images showing up as imbedded images? Because to me they are just links.)
Just links.
Anither weird Discourse bug, I guess. Sometimes the exact same style of urls to the exact same site embed, sometimes they show up as links.
Not having used these services - indulge a stupid question. Once you design whatever, you can obviously post images of it. Do you have unfettered rights to use the image for anything you wish, or must you give credit or pay a fee or request permission on an individual basis, and does the service equally have unfettered rights to use anything anyone creates? (In general, ignoring different services, locations, etc.)
I can basically never see your stuff, even when I click through to it. Generally a connection timeout. postimg.cc seems to have terrible reliability. Might be geographical.
My guess is that Discourse is sometimes seeing the timeouts as well, which prevent it from creating inline previews. So it stays as a link.
Can’t speak for the free services, but Midjourney says you own what you create, within a few limits:
Subject to the above license, You own all Assets You create with the Services, to the extent possible under current law. This excludes upscaling the images of others, which images remain owned by the original Asset creators. Midjourney makes no representations or warranties with respect to the current law that might apply to You. Please consult Your own lawyer if You want more information about the state of current law in Your jurisdiction. Your ownership of the Assets you created persists even if in subsequent months You downgrade or cancel Your membership.
[…]
Please note: Midjourney is an open community which allows others to use and remix Your images and prompts whenever they are posted in a public setting. By default, Your images are publically viewable and remixable. As described above, You grant Midjourney a license to allow this. If You purchase a “Pro” plan, You may bypass some of these public sharing defaults.
Basically, you own what you create and someone else can’t ‘claim’ it just by clicking the button to enlarge an image you made (“I enlarged it, so now this one is mine!”). But images are public and, especially when made in the Midjourney Discord, people can remix or use as a basis for their images and you consent to this via the license. Likewise, people can see your work in the Midjourney web galleries and remix it through there.
If you purchase a Professional sub, you can create in “stealth” mode where your images do not show up in the Discord or on the website galleries. This means people aren’t seeing your work to either remix or just yoink for their book cover or D&D character art.
Very notably, these terms only apply to images made with a paid sub. Stuff you make under a free trial isn’t protected. On the other hand, you don’t have to have an active sub right now, you just needed to make it while subscribed in some form.
Huh. They work here. I used to use Imgur, but stopped after the app started being buggy for me.
It’s possible it has something to do with my work firewall (I tend to stay logged into our VPN). But it’s weird; it doesn’t give a firewall error or anything, it just times out. Makes me think there’s a routing problem of some kind upstream.
It pays to be consistent at Night Cafe. I just earned the Horse Badge for posting at least once a day for 100 days in a row - 100 credits.
Stable Diffusion does not like to draw Abraham Lincoln riding a shark without trying to turn the shark into a horse.
The new mods at Playground still toss out animals riding vehicles some times when I ask for animals riding animals, but at least they do it really epicly.
That’s a cat rat riding a frog hog. (It is my own fault going for the rhyme instead of the less-ambigious “pig”.)
The new models seem to turn out more unrequested nudity than vanilla Stable Diffusion. Sometimes even when you explicitly add “wearing clothes” or similar to the prompt. Here is one example. (The linked image is not safe for work. Or for home. Or for a carefully camouflaged hiding space by a dumpster in an alley. And may in fact be final definitive proof that there is no God.)
Mine eyes! The goggles, they do nothing!
I think the ads on that page were worse than the image. Ye gods.
I never knew they used ads. (Thanks, adblocker!)
