The release of Stable Diffusion 2 has been met with mixed reactions from the community. Some are excited to see new features and updates, while others are concerned about the potential for abuse. Stable Diffusion 2 is a major update to the stable diffusion algorithm, which is used to distribute content across a network. The update includes a number of new features, including support for user-generated content and automatic content moderation. The update has been met with mixed reactions from the community. Some are excited to see new features and updates, while others are concerned about the potential for abuse. Some users worry that Stable Diffusion 2 will give large platforms such as YouTube an advantage over smaller channels. Others worry that automated content moderation will lead to censorship of unpopular opinions. While there is still some controversy surrounding Stable Diffusion 2, it is clear that this update has the potential to change how we distribute content online. ..
AI art is 2022’s hottest trend, and it’s all thanks to models like DALL-E and Stable Diffusion. Using those, you’re able to generate eerily realistic AI-fueled images. Stable Diffusion 2 has been officially released, bringing several improvements — and apparently being nerfed in other aspects.
Stable Diffusion 2’s biggest improvements have been neatly summarized by Stability AI, but basically, you can expect more accurate text prompts and more realistic images. The text-to-image models are trained with a new text encoder (OpenCLIP) and they’re able to output 512×512 and 768×768 images.
Other models are also improving a lot, including the upscaler, which can now produce much more accurate images, and the depth-to-image model, which can generate new images using both text and an existing image. There’s also an inpainting model that can swap out parts of an image to generate a brand new image.
However, the new update does have some drawbacks. Users have complained that the new version of Stable Diffusion makes it harder to generate NSFW content as well as art that imitates an actual artist’s style, leading some to claim the new version has been “nerfed.” Given AI art’s heavy criticism for its capabilities to produce real-looking fake images, it wouldn’t be surprising if the model deliberately strays away from producing images that could cause trouble.
