VQGAN-CLIP VS stylegan2-pytorch

VQGAN-CLIP

I've screwed with many text-to-image models over the past couple of years, and I found that while I currently enjoy Stable Diffusion's coherency, I have a soft spot for the ImageNet model used by default for VQGAN+CLIP. It easily approaches the uncanny valley when generating people or animals, but makes for great abstract backgrounds and wallpapers. I already have nostalgia for generating images with it on my CPU overnight.

For someone only tangentially familiar with this space, how is this different than e.g. https://github.com/nerdyrodent/VQGAN-CLIP which you can also run at home? Is it the quality of the generated images?

Used https://github.com/nerdyrodent/VQGAN-CLIP

I don't have any of the DALL-Es but I do have a couple from github [1], [2] which gave these outputs[3]

If you want to try your hand at buggering your whole system - try playing with AI image generation as it uses all possible computer assets :D . There is a lot of forms and installations for those but I VQGANs from github the easiest. Problem is that some require familarity with shell, python and in some cases - you need to enable the Linux subsystem in Windows (is it called a subsystem? it is not exactly a VM). This one is the easiest to install out of all I tried. But I liked the results of Pixray most but I wrecked it. I use this one nowadays.

For those that are interested, I used VQGAN-CLIP, specifically this GitHub repository

export default function ChannelListBottomBar(): JSX.Element { const { client } = useChatContext(); const [micActive, setMicActive] = useState(false); const [audioActive, setAudioActive] = useState(false); return (

{client.user?.image && (

div> )}

{client.user?.name} span> {client.user?.online ? 'Online' : 'Offline'} span> p> button>

setMicActive((currentValue) => !currentValue)} > button> setAudioActive((currentValue) => !currentValue)} > button> button> div> ); }

I wonder if we will ever get a realism model which can produce normal faces like https://thispersondoesnotexist.com instead of like super symmetrical faces of models

this has been in circulation since a while AI images took off, and they certainly weren't convincing before they did. You know the old "try to name one thing in this image" macro? Pretty sure that was AI generated, there was also thispersondoesnotexist.com which was always pretty good but of course it is

Not the workflow for these images, but if you easily want to spice up your gens with a bit more natural look, try using images from thispersondoesnotexist.com with IPAdapter face model.

...then they just use the app on generated images of not real people (potentially based on specific inputs to remind you of a real person).

Also we can generate very realistic faces with AI, https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/ (old example), fully 3D faces are doable at this point. So in another 5-10 years a low profile model like him wouldn't even be hired for this, they would just generate a digital face model. Unionizing will only speed up studios adoption of digital replacements.

It looks like they all use a profile picture made with https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/
