With the explosion of image gen AI out there recently, I feel confident that within a year anyone will have access to free or nearly free totally unchained image generation on par with or better than current DALLE-2.
Who is going to give away their trained model (that presumably cost millions) to the public? And getting the blame for any nefarious usage that will eventually follow?
What I find strange is that StabilityAI doesn't outright ban using actual living people in prompts (where I can imagine wide usecases for abuse). At the same time both OpenAI and StabilityAI block sexual content/nudity/violence. I don't see why such content is supposed to be harmful.
Anyway looking forward to the model, thanks for informing me about this project.
