Reply to comment by lovesdogsguy in "The number of AI papers on arXiv per month grows exponentially with doubling rate of 24 months." by Smoke-away

Doubling rate is 24 months, so in 2024 there will be 2x more new papers than in 2022.

I'd buy that increase rate, given how quickly art-AI is moving right now.

Less than a year ago, you got pretty and well colored but abstract blobs.

This was three weeks ago.

This is 23 hours ago as of posting.

Do pardon the MLP focus, but the first images where my own 'holy frick, AI art has come that far?!' moment, so I wanted to keep things fair so the difference is highly visible.

But... yeah. We certainly live in interesting times, and I'm very curious what the coming years will hold for us.

You've been pardoned.

BUT, have you seen this? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/407355414229811200/1026593684441022594/AI1.png

I don't know much about where they came from, but the AI is still training

Hadn't seen that one in particular, but I'd believe it.

Charlie, AKA penguinz0 did a video two weeks ago, where he was basically playing around with Stable Diffusion 1.5, and he made some really cool stuff.

A lot of it looked wonky, of course... but some of it I'd definitively stood and stared at for a few minutes if I'd seen it up on somebody's wall.

Yeah, i've seen a number of outputs from this guy and he's posted a few odd ones, bodies turned halfway through, sitting wrong way on a bench that also kinda disappears.. It has issues, but it can output quality more often than not..

Its just remarkable, I'm sure in a few months we'll see a whole lot more come out!

AI works are getting better and better, I can see that. Still the vast majority are bad. The one you linked is good. I often see arms, hands being painted in a wrong way. I still think that it will take multiple years before AI is as good as the best artists. Stable Diffusion should be called Unreliable Diffusion or Unsteady Diffusion for now, judging by all the works I've seen and done.

Even the fact it can produce quality, discredits all the bad works it produces. Rejecting the bad ones is simple enough, even if humans have to do it...

I don't see how it has an error rate is a problem?

That third image, holy fucking shit!!!

Thanks for pointing that out with such great examples!

You're welcome.

And yeah, cherry picked examples, of course, but I really think the Art-AI stuff is sliding under the radar of the public right now due to how much else is going on.

I've even seen faked signatures, speach bubbles and Patreon links. För now, those are just blobby swirls that look right only from a distance, but still.

I'm not sure if this is where we'll see the birth of some of the first true AI... but if nothing else, this seems like the next smartphone to me.

Just... poof, everywhere overnight for those that weren't paying attention, and THAT'S when the public freak out for a bit.

If you assert true ai, there is false ai. This is correct, current "AI" is false. It does not exist yet. The science is not here yet.

Oh yes, that's correct according to this. I think I was actually thinking more about the new advances in text-to-video generation, which combined with all the other news this year, I find pretty astonishing.
