Midjourney has been dominating the AI image generation space, but a new AI called Stability Ai (Sd l, 0.9) is about to challenge its dominance. Stability Ai offers improved image quality and composition detail compared to its predecessor, and it is available for free. It also has the advantage of being open source, allowing users access to all of its models. Sd excel can generate hyper-realistic creations for various applications such as films, television, music, design, and industrial uses. The question is whether Sd excel can dethrone Midjourney as the reigning proprietary powerhouse. Quick examples show the significant improvement of Sd excel 0.9 over its predecessor, with realistic details and minimal artifacts. While Midjourney may still offer slightly more detail, Sd excel is a strong contender.
Open source and free AI art is making strides in the world of digital art. While these models are not perfect yet, they have achieved some impressive results. One example showcases aliens walking among us in Las Vegas, while another presents a wolf in Yosemite National Park. These images, generated by consumer graphics cards, demonstrate the potential of this technology. However, it is important to note that generating these images takes time and may require more than just a few gigabytes of VR. The quality of the images varies, with some being almost flawless and indistinguishable from real photographs. Negative prompts can also be used to exclude certain elements from the final image. One example features a hand holding a takeout coffee on the beach, but the hand appears distorted. Another image, however, is incredibly realistic, with stunning details and a manic hand. Overall, the Midjourney AI model is a serious competitor in the field of AI art, although it may have some limitations in following prompts accurately. The Midjourney community showcase allows viewers to explore and appreciate the impressive creations generated by this AI model.
The focus of the video is on the aesthetic pleasure of AI-generated art rather than its ability to fulfill specific requests. The images produced are visually impressive. However, there is a critique of Midjourney, an AI art platform, which is said to have a major problem.
Speaker B points out that Midjourney is not open source and doesn't allow for modifications or running on personal graphics cards. Speaker A adds that Midjourney also doesn't allow for training on personal faces. However, Sd excel 0.9 offers all of these capabilities without modifications. Speaker B mentions that Stable Diffusion Xl 0.9 can be tested for free on the website Clip Drop and allows for unlimited prompts and style settings. Speaker A selects a Midjourney image for comparison and generates a result using Clip Drop. The images are compared side by side and both are deemed to look good, although the Sd excel model makes the woman look older than 35. Both images have similar clothing, hair, and cinematic elements. The Sd xl 0.9 image has more detail and is a significant improvement over the older model. Speaker A questions whether it's worth paying for the slight extra quality of Midjourney when Sd excel 0.9 is available for free and allows for additional modifications. The next image comparison is of two geese standing next to a knight. Both images are considered good, but the Midjourney images have higher fidelity.
There are two speakers discussing the aesthetic and detail of AI-generated art. Speaker B notes that there is a lot of detail in the art and that it is one of the best in terms of detail compared to other models. They also mention that the Midjourney 1 model is better than the others. Speaker A chooses a realistic Midjourney generation for their image prompt, which involves kids in a classroom wearing Apple vision pro glasses. Speaker B comments that both images look very realistic, but the Midjourney image fits the prompt better and looks more like a true-to-life photo. They also mention the impressive retro futuristic glasses on the Stable Diffusion side. Both speakers are impressed with the open source side, which is now getting closer to Midjourney in terms of quality. They discuss the different creative interpretations of image prompts and note that personal preference plays a role in determining which model is preferred. The final prompt involves a creative character relaxing on the beach. Both speakers express their liking for both images.
In a comparison between Midjourney and a free and open-source AI art model called stable diffusion, Midjourney came out on top in terms of detail and creativity. The lemon character produced by Midjourney was depicted enjoying himself on a beach with lots of intricate details, while the character generated by stable diffusion was not as fun or creative. However, it is important to note that each AI model needs to be prompted differently. Midjourney has an advantage in detail because it generates images in a natural 10:24 by 10:24 resolution, whereas stable diffusion upscales from 05:12 by 05:12. Despite this, it is hard to beat the appeal of free and open-source options like stable diffusion. It is possible to achieve images at the same level as Midjourney using stable diffusion, and users have the flexibility to change the style if desired.
Speaker A and Speaker B discuss the fantasy art style and its transformative effect on images. They recommend trying out Stable Fusion 0.9 and mention the significant increase in parameter count as the key driver for advancements in composition. Stable Fusion 0.9 boasts a large parameter count of 3.5 billion for the base model and 6.6 billion for the ensemble pipeline. The system requirements for running Stable Fusion 0.9 include a modern consumer GPU, Windows 10 or 11 or Linux, 16GB of RAM, and a GeForce RTX 20 series card with a minimum of 8GB of VRAM. Speaker A provides instructions on how to check GPU memory to see if your machine can run the model. The availability of Stable Fusion 0.9 is highlighted, with it being accessible on Clip Drop for free and the code being available on Github later this month. Viewers are encouraged to explore different applications for the AI API, such as generating images for video games or using it with other AI image generation tools like Night Cafe.
Open source AI technology is preferred by many because it allows for more freedom and customization. Companies often struggle to meet public demand. While some AI technology can be dangerous, image generation is currently not a major concern. Open source AI technology empowers the community to modify and improve it, making it more accessible and versatile. This is why an open source AI image generator is gaining popularity and challenging Midjourney in terms of aesthetics. The barrier for entry into the AI field is lower with open source technology. The speaker is excited about this development and invites viewers to share their thoughts. The speaker also encourages viewers to check out their discord server and other videos.
