With the explosion of image gen AI out there recently, I feel confident that within a year anyone will have access to free or nearly free totally unchained image generation on par with or better than current DALLE-2.
Running it is one thing, but where are we going to get the model?
Who is going to give away their trained model (that presumably cost millions) to the public? And getting the blame for any nefarious usage that will eventually follow?
Have they said they are going to publish the trained model? So far they are going the exact route as OpenAI (closed beta access with similar prompt content policy).
I don't see the content policies[0][1] as much different, but perhaps it's a matter of opinion regarding the individual points. I don't know how strictly the policies are enforced, so perhaps there is a difference there as well.
What I find strange is that StabilityAI doesn't outright ban using actual living people in prompts (where I can imagine wide usecases for abuse). At the same time both OpenAI and StabilityAI block sexual content/nudity/violence. I don't see why such content is supposed to be harmful.
Anyway looking forward to the model, thanks for informing me about this project.
OpenAI with violence means that you cannot generate weapons (even knives), StabilityAI with violence means anti-Semitism, misogyny, etc. No one will mute you in generating nudes if it was not your intention, this means that the model is able to do this while the OpenAI model cannot. And anyway we are only talking about the limitation on the Discord server, when the model is free and open source you will be able to generate whatever you want.
