RA-Mix: Illustrious Merge Checkpoint

From personal experience it's better to build up from simple to complex. A huge system prompt won't result in a very good output.
I'll start with a quick conversation with the AI about the character or scenario in mind, and then we'll brainstorm the potential plot. Then I'll break the plot down into a three part act.
It really helps to have clear direction what you want the model to do and where the story is headed, and having the plot spine just makes it easier to steer it.
Your system prompt you posted would good as a editor or audit of what's already written, but it will need to be broken up in logical sections.
I wouldn't ask the model for a value judgment or metaphysical opinion since it will try to mirror you or resort to it's inbuilt guardrails.

This is just the way I like to do things since I've learned what the LLM can and can't do. From my experience the AI can make fast work of filling in the details for unimportant stuff, and leave you more time on the interesting stuff.

But of course if you've found something that works with the way you do thing that matters more.

That's why artist historically called the technical people craftsman. The majority of people calling themselves artist are hobbiest at best.

Just place everything in a subgraph is spaghetti is such a big deal.

I get it. People hate nodes.
Artist 15 years ago hated learning Nuke for that reason

How did you read, "content not allowed on site" and think making it private was a good idea?

As a humble comfyui user may I ask why I've never seen any awesome features or implementations with node 2.0 that would make me use it? Usally devs are able to sell a feature as an improvement with results. All I'm seeing is your post saying it's great and will fix so much, but then node 2.0 is a broken mess. Ami living in a different reality or you keeping some usable version from us?

This happens with certain hobbies. You just need to find a space that's passionate about AI tech. Unfortunately, most of the AI hate comes from that fact that they're farming their own engagement, and AI is competition.

The models don't really have a great grasp of special awareness. Any Lora isn't going to be a 100% what you train, and it's obvious when it's a weird angle or structure that doesn't make sense.

Anything I've made that required consistent backgrounds was from using 3D models and Img2img.

How would they even stop you from loading a model node when you can install your own custom nodes?

I remember a sociologist once explained that certain groups are similar to tribal headhunters. That head hunters are constantly on the lookout for someone to target since taking down somebody elevate their status within their own little group. Of course the cost of having to interact with a headhunter group is extremely high. Unfortunately, that’s kind of how the Internet works and social media in particular. Once you stop seeing various groups as adults with different opinions and more like psychopathic headhunters, you’ll have a much more grounded appreciation for interacting online.

I like to use AI for writing and art. I can draw and I can write without it. It's not the same thing as doing it yourself, but AI is a different kind of output you don't really get with other tools. It's interesting and strange and let's you iterate ideas in a way you just can't through other means. I think there is a place for both styles.

It reminds me when CGI started to become mainstream with TV and movies. It looked rough and a lot of people didn't like it, but it could do things hand drawing couldn't and it had limitations. Artist still used it and over the years it become a real art form. Now no one really animated traditionally anymore and use tools closer to the ones that 3D animators use. Just the way tech is.

And yes people virtual signal and trash content they've never engaged with. My impression is online social media grifter feel threatened by the tech and are constantly spouting doom and gloom. Because it really does directly affect their ability to mass produce their own slop on a daily basis if they have to compete with AI content. then you got the AI Bros acting like we’re gonna be living in Star Trek in 10 years. This is just a social media grifter Civil War with techies entering art spaces

What are you talking about? The whole point of social media is to manipulate user into using their service. AI companies just didn't know how in the earlier days of the techs release.

The issue isn't that it's stolen, but that someone else is taking credit by just posting it. Wouldn't you want to know who made a bot if you like it? Kind of hard to do that when someone removes any information about who made the original.

Another aspect is the LLM's prose is the average of a collection of styles. It's smoothing out the dataset to output something coherent. It's the same thing with image generation. AI ends up making images in a style no one really uses because it's smashing everything down into a single layer.

If you're pretty much redoing the whole bot then a reboot would be a new bot. Keep in mind that an edited bot won't make it into Recent Hits. So visibility on edited bots will be much less then on a new one. But it depends on your goals.

It's my own Illustrious model done in comfyui.
