The average person not only doesn't understand the significance of this tech, they don't even know it exists.

Ask your Uber driver about SD, he probably won't know what you're talking about.

This tech is going to improve at breakneck pace and absolutely take the world by complete surprise.

I’m asking you this question what is the significance of this tech?

Goodbye photoshop.

Yes but photoshop may buy this and make profit

At the rate image generation is progressing, trying to corner a specific application will be difficult. I say this after seeing DALL:E take payments for their service for maybe 3 months before stable diffusion completely kneecapped them with an open source program that does their tech better.

That good for them but photoshop is paid service and there isn’t much free service software that are huge so it’s good they made it free

I mean about a month ago people were saying that making smaller/more sophisticated edits or several similar iterations of one image would only be possible in years if at all.

How long until Photoshop is replaced? If it's just a couple of years, we can "accurately" predict that it'll be in a few months.

Your enemy doing a Nazi salute instead of just waving? Every time this kind of tech improves, our ability to trust images decreases.

I mean you can already photoshop it so… I don’t expect it to increase that much it’s just gonna be easier

It's the speed and ease that makes misinformation so powerful

I wonder how that will shape society and if software developers could make things that detect those kind of changes or how people communicate will differ…..I doubt majority of people are gonna use it tho

I think that detection of these images will happen, but it is always going to follow rather than lead.

Human nature of believing whatever confirms our biases will make this tech truly scary.

And yes I'm pessimistic 😂

Especially conspiracy theorist who keep bunch of images that absolutely have no source…they definitely would go crazy with that tech

People downvote this guy for what? They’re not wrong. The use of AI to generate advertisements is going to be insane

Lol one hour later it was added as a feature to stable diffusion

Interesting link.

> This implmentation requires a GPU with ~30GB of VRAM, I'd recommend an A100 from Lambda GPU Cloud which will take a little over 5 minutes to process a single image.

> Make sure you have downloaded the appropiate checkpoint for Stable Diffusion from huggingface and set up your environment correctly. (There are instructions for both in many other Stable Diffusion repos so please Google it if you're not sure.) Note there's plenty of room for optimisation on memory usage and training parameters (this is just a quick guess based on the paper, which doesn't have many details). So please experiment and let me know how it goes!

Could this do it in real time with video frames?

Oh dear. The possibilities of this model are quite sinister. Oh well, such is progress /s

This is literally the second announcement of something like this TODAY. Unitune also announced to edit images with prompt. And here I thought we were already at breakneck speeds before today. Wild stuff.

If we get to the point where we can’t trust any information on the internet, trust that images and videos are genuine, where does that leave society? If this can’t be controlled, are we heading for a dark place where all we can believe is what we can actually see. Is this a major impending crisis?

BinyaminDelta t1_it9ek6z wrote

Wait, you trust information and images on the Internet CURRENTLY?

Defiant_Station_5895 t1_itano3t wrote

I get your point and I did think that as I am writing this. But My trust hasn’t broken down to the point where I disconnect from the internet entirely. I can watch the news and be fairly confident those people said what they said and this is not a computer generated Joe Biden saying America is at war with NKorea.

To remain a functional society, we'll have to trust centralized news outlets more than social media sources, or have computer programs which validate images/videos based on either metadata or statistical noise. Maybe even a suite of these programs and several centralized news outlets verifying. Or maybe some form of content delivery that encrypts legitimate videos at the time of recording so that when we recieve a video encrypted in this way, we know it's unaltered? I'm tired so i haven't thought this through.

Anyway, when video synthesis is perfected, we will need to treat video and images exactly like we do text now. Goodbye to the days of automatically trusting all video as authentic unfortunately. :(
