I’m curious to know what this community thinks of ponyV7.

Personally, I think it’s a good model, but it should have used SDXL as a base.. Training loRAs is impossible (for me atleast, as someone who uses a AMD 16gb GPU on windows + has 32gb RAM), AuraFlow isn’t… the greatest base model… if they NEEDED to use a model that isn’t SDXL, then they could’ve used FLUX.. etc

In short, they probably should have used SDXL as the base model, but that’s my personal opinion.

What do y’all think? :o

An absolute classic!

The flood of unedited gens is what got AI art removed from Derpi in the first place.

@Nocturn
Thank you.

We had a boo-boo. It’s been fixed. If you still see problems please let us know.

I wanted to see some horse ass.

all images are broken RIP

AI could provide better quality graphics than human art, but it alone doesn’t make generated images more valuable. Especially since AI can generate countless amount of such pictures. There are simply nothing unique, nothing memorable about them. And AI people doesn’t make things better generating dozens of basically same AI artworks.

A meme, a joke or a story incorporated in works of traditional artists is not a compensation for a less quality (it could be so but it’s not the main goal). It’s a thing that make artwork interesting, impressive. Good look on itself rarely make AI image impressive, especially among lots of other relatively good looking AI generated images.

@Felagund
Yeah, that is a good one. Didn’t fav because it isn’t THAT unique, nor is it a likely candidate for my D&D game since that is nonanthro Ponies (Capper and his like exist though).

Generally speaking, current models are better than most “traditional artists” IMO, but gen AI is also less flexible and often makes some errors, which require human intervention to fix.

in terms of potential is generative AI already better than what “traditional artists” can do? if not how far off are we from that in your estimation?

@tyto4tme4l
Precisely, since the goal IS “anyone can illustrate this”, good quality is an added bonus, and the only “ trivial” problems are getting the people with things to say to realize that, and getting the target audience(s) to adjust their expectations for what “I have little artistic talent, but I do have passion to say something” LOOKS like visually.

This thread and/or site could contribute to both of those with some focused intent, but I have pushed “the ball” as far as I can think of how to do (at least for now), and I hope other people pick it up and run with it at least a bit further here.
