ControlNet devs are already talking about bringing similar features to Automatic1111.

https://github.com/Mikubill/sd-webui-controlnet/discussions/...

So far it seems that the OSS diffusion models + tooling that we can run locally keep being state of the art. It makes me so happy.

(Unlike say LLMs where GPT-4 is clearly dominating for now.)

Thanks. I was going to ask how this is different from the existing inpaint/outpaint pipelines, and this explains perfectly.

Since we have capable local hardware, I'll propose this as an alternative once we get an estimate of our Firefly costs.

> (Unlike say LLMs where GPT-4 is clearly dominating for now.)

A lot of this comes from people comparing GPT-4 to e.g. LLaMA-7B, because that's the thing that fits in memory on their laptop. Whereas you can run LLaMA-65B, and it's dramatically better, but it uses about 128GB of RAM and the hardware needed to run it fast is expensive.

And GPT-4 has even more parameters than that, but that's not a matter of the tooling, it's that someone needs to release a public model with more parameters.

That's part of the point though. I get better results from stable diffusion on my PC than out of DALL-E 2. (I still have some credits there, but little reason to use them.)

I can't do that with LLaMA-65B. (Although to be fair 128 GB RAM is not that much.) But I suspect it's still far less capable than GPT-4, is it not?

What is Automatic1111? Google didn't really help that much, seemed like a whole lot of inside baseball
yreg · 3 years ago
It's a popular GUI for stable diffusion models with many extensions. Like the sibling comment points out, everyone calls it like that because that's the handle of the original maintainer. (As in: Which web ui? Auto11's.)

It would be cool to see that become a GIMP plugin next, I think that would be more of a direct alternative to the workflow using generative fill within photoshop.

Personal rant, context needed.

"....dropped...." in the context of new albums/music being released means "made available", however in the context of software features (or general english vernacular) it means "removed".

examples "When Weird Al's song 'White and Nerdy' dropped, I stopped everything so I could listen to it."

"In the latest news, Microsoft has dropped the ability to log on locally to your PC. All logins require internet connectivity and a MS Account."

This isn't a gripe about HN 'headline' rules; it's a complaint about a use/misuse of slang. Oh get off my lawn too please.

Where "dropped" means "added", not "removed".

Haven't looked up the etymology, but I've usually heard it in reference to the recording industry. I assume it either refers to dropping a record on a platter / needle onto a record, or "dropping off" new releases at a record store.

In a software industry it implies dropping/removing a feature though

I read "dropped" as some feature they had and removed 168 hours ago causing fallout and more anger with their subscription model, a bit overloaded of a term I guess.

Same. I saw a reddit post last night about someone complaining that the generative fill wasn't working on their machine.... so when I saw this headline, I first thought that they'd rolled it back in a sloppy way.

I, too, thought this was the case. It appears all three of us have been bamboozled.

Less than x [time unit] since y released z.

Here are n [jawdropping|amazing|stunning] examples of what people has done with it.

But you gotta admit, some of these fillings were impressive

The work done by the Photoshop devs is extraordinary. The artistry by some of the people creating these illustrations is similarly excellent.

These bullshit copy-paste threads from AI "influencers" and devrel hacks are a scourge - bandwagon "content" from people who produce nothing of value themselves other than tricking people into buying what I can only assume is $500 video courses repackaging 6 month old blog articles from someone else.

Not to be all hipster, but outpainting was available in Dall-E in April 2022. Impressive, yes, but not really all that novel. I did this a year ago: https://www.artstyle.ai/uncropping-movie-posters/

Or cherry picked by influencers paid by Adobe

Cool stuff. Did the OP think this was the best list aggregating uses of Generative Fill? Or is this kind of a hit at the AI "influencers" jumping on everything that is released these days? Or is there a better list? I see some links showing up in comments here.

After seeing things go from 0 to Stable Diffusion and beyond, the fact that GenAI can do x,y,z; well, seems like a given eventuality.

Ah, here is a test of Gen Fill: how will it fill in famous paintings, like the Mona Lisa?

I was blown away by this Reddit post of Photoshop Generative Fill of some popular memes:

First time seeing this feature. I asked it what I would look like if I was balding, the results are... distressing...

I remember when CS came out and it had the magnetic lasso tool, overnight people could save hours and hours of time in their work, this reminds me of that.

I need to ask it what I would look like if I had hair again... o_O
