I don't know, the AI image quality has gotten good but it's still slop.
We are forgetting what makes art, well art.
I am not even an artist but yeah I see people using AI for photos and they were so horrendous pre chatgpt-imagen that I had literally told one person if you are going to use AI images, might as well use chatgpt for it.
Also though I would also like to get something like chatgpt-image generating qualities from an open source model. I think what we are really looking for is cheap free labour of alibaba team.
We are wanting for them / anyone to create open source tool so that anyone can then use it, thus reducing the monopoly of openai but that is not what most people are wishing for, they are wishing for this to lead to reduction of price so that they can use it either on their own hardware for very few cost or some providers on openrouter and its alikes for cheap image generation with good quality.
Earlier people used to pay artists, then people started using stock photos, then Ai image gen came, and now we have gotten AI image pretty much good with chatgpt and now people don't even want to pay chatgpt that much money, they want to use it for literal cents.
Not sure how long this trend will continue, when deepseek r1 launched, I remember people being happy that it was open source but 99% people couldn't self host it like I can't because of its needs and we were still using API but just because it was open source, it reduced the price way too much forcing others to reduce it as well, really making a cultural pricing shift in AI.
We are in this really weird spot as humans.
We want to earn a lot of money yet we don't want to pay anybody money/ want free labour from open source which is just disincentivizing open source because now people like to think its free labour and they might be right.
