I’m in the same boat about not commenting much. I usually follow people who are further along in their workflows, so I don’t always feel like I have useful critique to add. A lot of the time I just like the result. My own process leans more on the AI’s RNG followed by cleaning it up, which has some mixed opinions here.

Also, the metadata isn’t always there to view. It gets lost when you run it through inpainting or editing in Krita or Photopea. Which makes the techniques seem opaque and hard to reverse engineer. I’d love to hear how others approach this. Are folks here open to sharing their processes?

I think that some people just don’t care. I wrote some about ghost signatures and most just keep chugging along. If I present something to the world I want it to be the best version it could be, so I don’t get it why people don’t fix obvious errors. And since text can’t convey my natural snark and sarcasm, I don’t write anything anymore, just edit the tags fitting the error.

It can be fun if it’s not meant to be “mean”.

(well, some people do deserve some “notice” about the things they’re not noticing… limbs merging and the like are hard to miss, and yet”

hi chat!!!

This site runs on basically the same code as Derpi, so pretty much everything that works there will work here.

e.g. >>55555t will result in

I have noticed this problem myself. It is a relief in a way to know that this is not some oddity specific to AI art, nor is the commenting likely ongoing on on some other site I was not aware of.
One trick I use to come up with comments is interpreting what is going on, especially in ways that explain the oddities/errors in the generation (or even intentional oddities such as anthropology characters casually interacting in Cthulthu-esque surroundings).

Do I need to explain specifics or can peoole look up my posts via my profile for details?

basically what the title asks, because I don’t know if it’s the same as on derpi

I thought it was because of the lack of actual users, the online censorship thats all happening at once, people be busy or like @thoryn said “I like this” is the comment, and a bunch of other factors. Its something we’re going to have to work on if as content creators want feedback or interaction with… well thats what I think.
Also, people just be busy.

I am still on SD Forge (which also embeds metadata), and it also has a metadata viewer, just have to drag and drop the png files into it.
There’s a few standalone ones as well, just search for prompt metadata viewer/reader.

You can also use this website for viewing image metadata: https://jimpl.com/

NovelAI (which I use) also embeds prompts in their images…

@truekry

Didn’t know people here kept the meta data intact, I always assumed it’d be purged either by the uploader or the site when processing uploads.
Now that I know, I’ll definitely take a peek at how you’ve done things - I’ve enjoyed so many of your images.
(Full disclosure, last time I tried to generate pony images with Illustrious checkpoints, I couldn’t even get characters to consistently walk like quadrupeds, so it feels a bit like cheating if your base tags just works.)

And back to the topic, I wonder if more people abstain from commenting because of the same reasons as you.. if so, then that’s a never-ending circle of silence.

I will try to keep it in mind for the future, but I am inherently an introvert - so I make no promises.

I leave a comment from time to time, but it feels like yelling into an empty room.

I personally never bother to add prompts and stuff since they are embedded into the pictures. Comfy does it and
Invoke too. Just open a AI picture in notepad and all the info is there.

99% of the time, my only comment would be “I like this.” - so I just hit the upvote/fav icon instead.
Many times, I’m wondering what resources and prompts were used - but I figure if they don’t share it from the get-go, it’s for a reason, so I don’t bother asking.

Generally when people don’t see comments they don’t comment themselves, even if there’s other sorts of activity going on.

This has been a growing problem on any new and small site for some 15 or so years, when Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, etc. took over as “where people go to talk online”. Even “established” platforms like Deviantart, ArtStation, or Newgrounds are barren of comments, relative to their size.

Most images on this website don’t get any comments, what’s up with that?

I remember I got Hydrus’s Derpi grabber to work with this site by making a new grabber that was a copy of it just with this site’s address in the appropriate places.

It’s been a while so I can’t remember how exactly I did it, but I don’t remember it being too hard.

I want to use grabber to download all the images on the site that i want but i cant figure out how to make it work. did anyone do this already?

If its cartoon/anime look first at the line-work. AI is all over the place most of the time.
Then at shadows, the background or hands. Do the shadows make sense in relation to the light source? Are stupid weird object in the background? Are the hands symmetrical? Same finger length + thickness? Are the nails in the same style?
Stuff like that.

freinds do you know of a way to tell for sure if an image is ai generated?

Hang out and post whatever.
