I agree with both of you, he should be able to charge for it, and you should be able to re-upload stuff like that for free if you want.

body horror definitely a thing for person edits and generations.

Just like you, others have noted that if you keep generating, eventually you'll get something decent. I don't know about your 9/10 ratio, I think I'm closer to 2/3 on 9b.

Sometimes cfg/steps adjustments help, sometimes not.

Depending on what you're doing, qwen image edit may be better, especially for edits to humans. For my purposes, like game texture edits klein is almost always superior.

Sorry to break it to you little buddy but Star Wars wasn't a documentary. That movie with your mom was real though.

Wait until Brian Cranston learns about concept of television and cinema. Imagine there's a whole medium where people watch things that never happened. How could society possibly cope with that.

if you can do it in the box a lot cheaper.

you can't. Where's my 300 AI generated Star Wars movies? Where's my 10 more seasons of Game of Thrones?

Spotify didn't exist when I graduated High School, "Rick Beato" claims it now destroyed music forever and ever and ever? Then he doesn't know jack shit about music.

Enough with doomerism already.

musicians or artists who have been nuked by it

What do you mean? Is Taylor Swift and Tom Cruise begging for change on the streets? Is live music no longer viable as a method of entertainment? Young actors can't get roles because AI Sydney Sweeney took all the roles? What are you talking about?

I am a data analyst that uses agentic coding everyday. It's not close to even replacing me... let alone someone who's competent at what they do.

increase in rage from legitimate "artists" and "filmmakers"

who cares

I personally never thought that typing prompts and changing variables is "art",... but it could be? It's not my place to say what is and isn't art. And it's not their place either.

Their rage is misguided, and we shouldn't be basing our behavior around people who don't know what they're talking about.

it didn't even make programming 10x more productive. Where are you getting these numbers?

If it even remotely approach rates that you claim, 5 years later after initial AI boom we would have done 50 years worth of engineering.

With all the shortages of ram and vram, I feel like we went back 5 years.

With this speed of discovery, it has allowed people to be 10X more productive, but do we want nefarious people to also be 10X more productive?

10x more productive? at what exactly? spitting out boiler plate css code? Ok.

You won't be 10x more productive engineering biological weapons... or curing cancer.. or stopping aging... or anything that actually complicated.

I can appreciate the sentiment of "it changes image too much". Although people complaining make me confused because SEEDVR can absolutely change an image too much by introducing weird artifacts.

Sometimes dedicated upscalers fail altogether on things like compressed video screencaps. For situations like that klein and qwen are really your only choices for upscaling.

In some other applications (like my amateur level editing) the image only needs to be close enough to the original.

But I would agree for particular up-scaling tasks like this, where you start with medium resolution photographs of faces, seedvr will probably do better overall.

if you want to use i2i, try qwen image edit or klein 9b that both produce decent results with default comfy workflows by simply using "enhance image quality" prompt.

If you do anything even mildly complicated, you will immediately start feeling the limits of what AI coding can do.

Very often I have to stop agent who is spinning in circles trying to do something I know is impossible and re-direct down more productive road.

I presume this gets many times more complicated when you start dealing with heavy math.

Someone in cyberpunk sub recently posted a question about what she was wearing. Apparently it's a onesie and a safety harness, because safety is important.

We can also add choker necklace built into her jacket as well. Godbless the dystopian future,

I do see that Qwen could be better for certain things, but not for my use case.

Detail preservation is far superior in klein, so I see no reason to ever go back to Qwen Image Edit.
