There are models available that give you more control - in some senses, at least. For example, you can use Stable Diffusion with 'ControlNet' [1] where for example, you can input an 'openpose' to choose the pose of people in the scene. There's also a 'Regional Prompter' [2] which lets you use different prompts for different areas of the image, giving you some control over the composition. You can also use 'inpainting' to regenerate select parts of your image if, for example, you don't like the shape of the clouds. Of course this stuff isn't perfect - for example, you'll get hands with the wrong number of fingers sometimes, no matter what you specify. And you can't easily generate things like multi-frame cartoons without characters clothes changing between frames. [1] https://github.com/Mikubill/sd-webui-controlnet [2] https://github.com/h

One thing I think will be different and that had totally escaped my radar until recently is just the enormous and diverse community that has been developing around Stable Diffusion, which I think will be less likely to form with language models. I just recently tried out one of the most popular [0] Stable Diffusion WebUIs locally, and I'm positively surprised at how different it is to the rest of the space around ML research/computing. I consider myself to be a competent software engineer, but I still often find it pretty tricky to get e.g. HuggingFace models running and doing what I envision them to do. SpeechT5 for instance is reported to do voice transformations, but it took me a good bit of time and hair-pulling to figure out how to extract voice embeddings from .wav files. I'm sure the way to do this is obvious to most researchers, m

aybe to the point of feeling like this needs not a mention in the documentation, but it certainly wasn't clear to me. The community around Stable Diffusion is much more inclusive, though. Tools go the extra effort to be easy to use, and documentation for community created models/scripts/tools is so accessible as to be perfectly usable by a non-technical user who is willing to adventure a little bit into the world of hardcore computing by following instructions. Sure, nothing is too polished and you often get the feeling that it's "an ugly thing, but an ugly thing that works", but the point is that it's incredibly accessible. People get to actually use these models to build their stories, fantasy worlds, to work, and things get progressively more impressive as the community builds upon itself (I loved the style of [1] and even effortlessly merged its style with another one in the WebUI, and ControlNet [2] is amazing and gives me ideas for integrating my photography with AI). I think the general interest in creating images is larger than for LLMs with their current limitations (especially in current consumer-available hardware). I do wonder how much this community interest will boost the spaces in the longer run, but right now I can't help but be impressed by the difference in usability and collaborative development between image generative and other types of models.

dragonwriter·Feb 28, 2023
This looks like its just a quick front-end to the ControlNet scribble model (perhaps with a customized underlying model instead of base Stable Diffusion), with canned settings, presumable a canned negative prompt, and maybe some common stuff added beyond the user input to the positive prompt. Which is not to be dismissive, its a very nice demo of what SD+ControlNet scribble can do. But for people who like it, the ControlNet scribble model (and the other ControlNet models, depth-map based, pose control, edge detection, etc.) [0] are supported in the ControlNet extension [1] to the A1111 Stable Diffusion Web UI [2], and probably similar extensions for other popular stable diffusion UIs. Should work in any current browser, and at least the A1111 UI, with ControlNet models, works on machines with as little as 4GB VRAM. [0] home repo: https://
