It's sort of interesting, given the undeniable power that these new AI techniques have, just how limited the output is at the moment. Only 512x512 images.

I tried a specific query - "man running from a tiger" - and none of the provided images were even close. Seems to be a common problem.

Upscaling with a neural network resizer such as Topaz Gigapixel Ai dramatically improves the usability of the art. On1 also has a resizer that might be a good less-expensive choice.

Upsizing is something I'm really hoping to bring in the next version of the site.

I'm imagining a variety of different tools to improve the images, so ideally if an image is good enough for somebody, they could "enhance it" and from then on, that image would be available at a higher resolution for all users.

I've had great results upscaling with various versions of the open source RealESRGANx4 which I usually just run via Visions of Chaos (which also supports lots of other upscalers, stable diffusion, disco diffusion, and hundreds of other AI related tools).
