Google apologizes for ‘missing the mark’ after Gemini generated racially diverse Nazis::Google says it’s aware of historically inaccurate results for its Gemini AI image generator, following criticism that it depicted historically white groups as people of color.
Honestly, this sort of thing is what’s killing any sort of enjoyment and progress of these platforms. Between the INCREDIBLY harsh censorship that they apply and injecting their own spin on things like this, it’s nigh on impossible to get a good result these days.
I want the tool to just do its fucking job. And if I specifically ask for a thing, just give me that. I don’t mind it injecting a bit of diversity in say, a crowd scene - but it’s also doing it in places where it’s simply not appropriate and not what I asked for.
It’s even more annoying that you can’t even PAY to get rid of these restrictions and filters. I’d gladly pay to use one if it didn’t censor any prompt to death…
I couldn’t agree more. I recently read an article that criticized “uncensored AI” for that it was capable of coming up with a plan for a nazi takeover of the world or something similar. Well duh, if that’s what you asked for then it should. If it truly is uncensored then it should be capable of plotting a similar takeover for gay furries too as well as also counter-measures for both of those plans.
This points at a very crucial and deep divide in people’s social philosophy, which is how to ensure bad things are minimized.
One major branch of this theory goes like:
And the other major branch goes like:
Very deep, very serious divide in our zeitgeist, and we never talk about it directly but I think we really should.
(Or maybe we shouldn’t, because the conversation could be dangerous in the wrong hands)
I’m in the former camp. I think people should have power, even if it enables them to do bad things.
And, by establishing legal precedent that AIs can’t be trained on copyrighted content without purchasing licenses as if the content were going to be redistributed, we’ve ensured that people who aren’t backed by millions of dollars won’t be able to build their own AIs.
Download ComfyUI, download a model (I’d say head over to civitai), have a blast. The only censorship you’ll see on the way is civitai hiding anything sexually explicit unless you have an account, the site becomes a lot more horny when if you flip the switch in the settings.
I’ll look into it for sure. I tried Automatic1111 last year with SD, bunch of add-on stuff… it was finicky and didn’t get me quite what I was looking for.
Thanks for the tip!
Some stuff will always be finickly and fickle: The more you and the model disagree with what a very basic prompt means the more work it is to get it to do what you want – and it might not be able to, OTOH poking around will then likely inspire you to do something else that seems possible, AI as a medium is quite a bit more of a dialogue than oil on canvas: Once you’ve mastered oil it becomes passive, not talking back any more, while AI models will continue to brat back.
That said though ComfyUI gives you a ton more control than A1111, it’s also generally faster and more performant.
