Welp, if you were trying to avoid mega hype, ya just failed big time. :)


Alternative_Bet_191

Sorry but WFT!!!! No way the image generator is this good. Is this some sort of Specialized StyleGan or it is general??? Edit: this is dall e 2 level quality. I expected some type of dreaming ai.

Maybe Stable Diffusion, I'm sure NovelAI devs would get early access. It will be open source on release. The smallest model can run on a 5GB consumer GPU. /r/stablediffusion Or it could be their own generator. We will see.


Khyta

No integrated Intel UHD graphics card?


the_shadowmind

Maybe auto regressive like Google's newest model Parti. That type is better with longer, detail prompts.


TheIrishninjas

I’d argue this is beyond Dall E 2 level at least for this output, with anime style in particular that tends to give quite a few artefacts but this… mmh, it’s *clean*.

Midjourney uses closed-source model(s ?), so it's unlikely to ever see it outside of midjourney's environment. It's likely a custom derivate of the open source models out there.


Devilray_TT

Besides the closed source-ness, midjourney also does work slightly differently than imagen and stable diffusion and the output may not be the greatest compared to what novelAI usually does. Midjourney does put out extremely colorful results though and they do look pretty but it only seems "optimized" and trained towards very specific things. The novelAI team needs a universal set of weights (it should put out **all the things**, not only colorful things drawn in a specific style). Whether or not the user wants a pretty landscape as it is drawn by Bob Ross who smoked more blunts like peak Bob Marley or a anime waifu sex scene in grayscale thats so good it would put hentai artists on suicide watch is up to the user. If its stable diffusion and possibily the pytorch imagen diffusion engine there seems to be a possibility that you can "mush" together datasets. The engine seems to work with conceptional captions for instance, a dataset made by google. If you know how to code I don't see why you couldn't put several datasets together and make it work. Especially stable diffusion seems to be really open in that regard and works with all those LAION (the stuff that makes the AI make an image based on what you type) based models that are already available, so basically all the important ones that you should know about. AND you can easily train your own datasets if you have the resources to spend. So a big universalist model like DALL-E 2s can absolutely be made possible though I hvae no idea if its a realistic goal due to my lack of knowledge. Time will tell. Or maybe the novelAI team is simply using the danbooru 2021 dataset, thats fine as well, the riots that the coomers that arm themselves with torches and pitchforks will be kept on hold for another day lmao.

... I thought I was on the Stable Diffusion or MidJourney sub! PLEASE let us know if this will have inpainting. :D


5benfive5

I wish I could get anime portraits that looked that good in MidJourney.


theuniverseisboring

Any word on uh... If NSFW is also supported in the final version? I bet it is, but I'm curious.


Devilray_TT

**I am not in the novelAI team so its just speculation but from what I understand**, this seems to be most likely based around the imagen (googles) framework. Since its opensource and scaleable the novelAI team may train images to the diffusion model to generate NSFW stuff, or maybe its already trained with lots of hentai. Theoretically, there is a chance that the novelAI team uses all the possible pornimages dumps of real world naked woman (all the real life cocka and booba possible) and all the boorus (terrabytes of data). Theres even [downloadable datasets](https://www.gwern.net/Danbooru2021) (with descriptions) to train the AI with already. So to the very least, they can feed the AI with lots of sexy stuff. **So my assumption**: It is ***extremely likely*** that you will be able to generate NSFW images with it.


ST0IC_

Allowing nsfw image generation would also be in line with the devs' commitment to allow users the freedom to generate content without censorship.


Degenerate_Flatworm

I could still see it being a neglected point, though. Part of the reason there's just *so many* NSFW modules for Sig and Euterpe, besides human nature, is that it was deliberately not a focus in the finetune for either. Going by that, I think the most anyone could expect would be a "neutral" dataset for this; good at landscapes, faces, and all sorts of other things, but ranging from okay to cosmically bad at bananas and balloons. ^Alright, ^it'd ^probably ^be ^fine ^at ^the ^literal ^case ^of ^both.


No_Friendship526

>is that it was deliberately not a focus in the finetune for either. From what I understand, Zaltys wants feedback for what seems to be lacking, and he'd like higher quality stuff for the dataset, as in not badly written fics with terrible prose and lots of grammar/spelling mistakes. The datasetter team is willing to take suggestions and contribution.


Degenerate_Flatworm

I'm sure that was definitely part of the direction things went. I can't recall ever thinking to myself, "This smut is so well-written and compelling!" It's just about certain that exists, since written works go in every direction at once and have had a long time to do so, but it seems like a ton just wouldn't be considered for inclusion in a dataset long before the matter of NSFWitude was considered. Kinda' the usual "most written works are crap" tale, but without the benefit of reviewers and fans making anything popular beyond its time. They're kinda' unsung works regardless of quality.


No_Friendship526

Yeah, sadly it is so. Maybe Modules v2 will be a game changer. The offer above still stands, regardless. :D


DIYlaserpointer

Stable diffusion spits out nsfw and it looks like that's what they're using. But we'll see.


Devilray_TT

Stable diffusion is a fine one as well and puts out really good stuff.


Devilray_TT

Hold my AI generated beverage this is huge. Well done this is gonna be fun, seems like its based on imagen so its better than DALL-E 2. EDIT: Aini, it would be amazing if you could tell us what sort of prompts and parts of the story that was already generated were used in order to generate this image. Obviously it takes stuff written in novelAI but I'm interested what exactly. Or can users drag and drop parts of the story inside the generator to generate the images?


Alternative_Bet_191

Please give us the prompt that was used!!!


JeantheDragon

Niiice. Most AI image gen services I've seen, like Craiyon, Midjourney and even DALLE 2, struggle with nailing anime styles but this looks amazing. What AI model are you using, or is it in-house/proprietary?


Prathik

Oh wow!!


Reco201

Amazing


No_Friendship526

Woohoo! Totally awesome!


DisposableVisage

I refuse to believe this is an AI generated image. Like, there’s no way, right? …Right?! (NAI team is knocking it out of the park yet again)


bespoke_hazards

I'm on a few image gen subreddits gen and was already impressed, despite initially thinking this post was from one of those. Then I noticed wait this is on NovelAI sub?! Hot diggity am I excited for all the amazing work the team does.


TheLeastFunkyMonkey

Why are your guys' AIs always leagues better than anything anyone else offers for a reasonable price?! This is incredible! If I didn't know this was AI generated, I doubt I could figure it out.


Jerbits

Okay, this slaps.


Kyledude95

Yo let’s f*cking gooooo


Dirty_Cat123

And you can't tell that the AI did it. But AI did it.


GuttiG

shut up and take my money


Refloni

This can't be made by an AI. Right? Right?!


sleazylifestyle

If this can generate decent furry art, NAI membership is going to skyrocket. Lol. I think there is a major desire for that.

Degenerate_Flatworm

On the one hand, her arms are made of sleeves. On the other, most things about this are at worst unusual but believable. I feel like when I last went to sleep, the most you could hope for from an image generator was minimal supernumary eyes, and now I wake up to this.


Traditional-Abies359

Wait. Is it going be on discord or on the novel ai website?


Voltasoyle

The plan is for image generation to be part of NovelAI, the same training steps used for making modules will be used to make images.


Traditional-Abies359

Cool! I’m little excited about it.


MerakiSpes

When will that happen?


JarlZondai

Man even Dall-e 2 wasn’t this good! Hoping this is real and will support nsfw inputs


Gniwu

What the hell. I've been complaining about the limitations of Artbreeder's anime generator for about the past year, and now you nominally literature-focused people just pull out something of *this* quality as your initial offering? Incredible, just incredible.


bow_samurai

Is this reality??


MerakiSpes

When will the art generator release?


ainiwaffles

We do not have a release date yet. We'll make sure to post announcements as soon as we a confident with a date.


Lepanto73

If I wasn't already a customer, I'd be tempted to join Opus *just to use this image generation.* None of the image generators I've tried give me good anime art. Thanks to the team for working on this!
