That article made me realize how insane Image Generators already are. (www.theverge.com)

Really good article I read today. I was already impressed by the first hype of image generators but since haven't informed myself much. They got really good lately apparently. I can't decide if I am concerned or impressed. Do you think this would actually be used for something other than memes and misinformation? I thought I might share it and hear your opinions.

This doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of what you can do with tools like ComfyUI and stable diffusion. It's sad to see how all the hate around AI image generation prevents people from being educated about it, which in the end is beneficial to bad faith actors using these tools to create misinformation. If people weren't afraid to learn how it works they wouldn't be fooled as easily by it. The days of 8 finger hands are over.
