„Ethical ImageGen“ turns out to be Stable Diffusion every single time.
They are sneaky, and they think they speak the language of artists & execs- so they get into rooms nobody else is in, but their model is built on stable diffusion and stands for the same slurry and generated rot as every other ai grift.
Don’t give vizcom an inch.

I think where I’m at is essentially “using imagegen is a sin; publicly disseminating imagegen is a crime”

"put this in a nice table" and the chat model chose to do imagegen instead of html.
from corporate work: powerpoints and shit are the #1 usecase for AI outside of engineering, and ESPECIALLY imagegen.

The state of LLMs is messy: Some AI features (like vision) lag others (like tool use) while others have blind spots (imagegen and clocks). And the expensive "heavy thinking" models are now very far ahead of all the other AIs that most people use, capable of real work
None of this is well-documented

I have been using GPT ImageGen-2 for the past weeks
I didn't think that better image-generators would be a big deal but it turns out that there is a quality threshold I didn't expect, where you can now get usable text, slides, academic papers
Look at what it does with my "otter test"! (Zoom in)

Earlier today someone chucked my work into an imagegen program to spit it out as a heap of slop with “dlss enabled” as their comment.

Both companies took tremendous reputational risks on an early technology before there was even a market for it (Bard was inaccurate and had controversial imagegen, Sydney was insane). Their inability to be daring now, when the market is clearer, is more surprising as a result.

Speaking of DPIs, I think it's always important to remember to never upload your full DPI artwork to the internet.
This was once true for bots that scraped art to put on T-shirts, but is now doubly true in the ImageGen era.
I tend to export to 72 (SD), 150 (HD), or 96dpi (common middle resolution)
