So, question -- does the author know that this post is merely about "what is widely known about" vs. "what is actually possible?"

Which is to say -- if one is in the business or activity of "making AI images go a certain way" a quick perusal of e.g. Civitai has about a million solutions to the "problem" of "all the AI art looks the same?"

I’m aware of LoRA, Civitai, etc. I don’t think they are “widely known” beyond AI imagery enthusiasts.

Krea wrote a great post, trained the opinions in during post-training (not during LoRA), and I’ve been noticing larger labs doing similar things without discussing it (the default ChatGPT comic strip is one example). So I figured I’d write it up for a more general audience and ask if this is the direction we’ll go for qualitative tasks beyond imagery.

Plus, fine-tuning is called out in the post.

I don't think there is such a thing as a general audience for AI imagery discussion yet, only enthusiasts. The closest thing might be the subset of folks who saw ChatGPT can make an anime version of their photo and tried it out or the large amount of folks that have heard the artist's pushback about the tools in general but not actually used them. They have no clue about any of the nuances discussed in the article though.

AI imagery users are all enthusiasts, there aren't yet casual users in a "wide" general capacity.
