Well, since anyone with a decent computer can install Stable Diffusion locally, this isn't news.

[–] StereoTrespasser@lemmy.world 42 points 11 months ago

I guess "we downloaded Stable Diffusion and ran some free NSFW checkpoints" isn't exciting enough research to get you published.

[–] abuttifulpigeon@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

And even if you can't, there's mage.space, albeit if you wanted NSFW it's $5 a month, but my point is there are other options if you really want it.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 51 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You can install SD to your own machine and have no such restrictions in the first place.

[–] Ganbat@lemmyonline.com 11 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Eh, not always plausible. I got it to work on a 2GB card, albeit very slowly, but that was apparently dumb luck.

Actually, it may have been some form of wizardry in the third-party drivers I was using, because now I've got a more powerful machine with a better card, and things are about as slow, but with weirdly more "out of memory" errors.

[–] treechicken@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Huh, I barely got SD to run on a gtx 1070 which has 8GB. Funny thing was that it didn't run out of memory ONLY if I disabled the NSFW filter lol

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

AMD vs Nvidia? AMD requires a lot of maneuvering to get it to work since AMD hasn't really moved to support AI image generation. I have an old Radeon 570 and a newer 6750xt that can work, but its all about setup.

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Run it in medium vram mode and you won't have that issue

[–] GeneralVincent@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You'd think, but my 8gb card running in med vram and low vram was still crashing occasionally. Darn AMD, get your AI shit together haha

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 1 points 11 months ago

Ah yeah I have an Nvidia card so idk about AMD specific stuff

[–] Ganbat@lemmyonline.com 1 points 11 months ago

I run it on low vram mode because the wiki says they consider low as 4GB or less.

[–] TheBananaKing@lemmy.world 41 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Well, there's the niche for human artists in the future: drawing things the AIs refuse to generate.

[–] breakingcups@lemmy.world 33 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Or being a sorcerer with the arcane spell that makes the image machine spit out boobies.

[–] Caitlynn@feddit.de 2 points 11 months ago

Please let it bei this

I'm picturing AI generating this incredible piece of art. And some kid uses MS Paint to slap some stick figure titties on it.

[–] Mahlzeit@feddit.de 38 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

People say that AI will kill us all by ordering too many paperclips.

So people try to make AI safe by stopping it from making images of nude people.

WTF is wrong with everyone? Am I stuck in the most boring Lewis Carroll story ever?

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The paperclip thing is an allusion to a game.

[–] tomulus@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The game is actually an allusion to a thought experiment.

[–] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

Honestly that sounds like a game of factorio...

[–] creditCrazy@lemmy.world 31 points 11 months ago (2 children)

First up is it really that important that perverts can't make ai tits. Two the fact that the only reason it can't make porn is a prompt filter that must mean that there is porn in the training data. Why did they use porn in the training data if they don't want porn coming out of it.

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 12 points 11 months ago

"The fact that it can make cats eating spaghetti must mean there are cats eating spaghetti in the training data."

Literally the whole point of AI image generation is that it can make things NOT in the training data. I'm sure the data contains enough porn-adjacent stuff for it to generate quite a bit of what most people would consider porn.

[–] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

Man I have spent so many hours making Bing softcore porn it's not even funny. Unfortunately, the AI started to catch on to me and started flagging literally everything I did.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 31 points 11 months ago (1 children)

People who entered the topic to see NSFW pictures rally behind me!

[–] youstolemyname@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago

/r/brokebing

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 27 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Ok. How much of the generated content from these is for work anyways? Seems like it should just be an option for users to turn off the filters on these for personal use.

[–] Rin@lemm.ee 29 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I used a local ai just to make myself hentai that I like.

[–] pleb_maximus@feddit.de 10 points 11 months ago

There are other reasons to use it?!?

[–] dalekcaan@lemm.ee 18 points 11 months ago

Yeah I'm not really getting what the story is here. It reads a bit like, "kids on Club Penguin server say 'ass' in chat by replacing s with $, more at 11!"

[–] alienanimals@lemmy.world 23 points 11 months ago

Fuck the puritans. If people want porn, then let them have porn.

[–] spookex@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Huh, people only discovering this now? I have been using the Bing generator for making NSFW stuff for like a month now.

Also, pls stop the research, thx /s

[–] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Can you, er, tell us how? The article wasn't quite helpful in that regard.

[–] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 13 points 11 months ago

Haha. That image says it all.

[–] d3Xt3r@lemmy.nz 12 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Getting similar results with DALL-E 3 here, except for the third prompt.

(a) I couldn't resist petting the adorable little glucose

(b) The tabby gregory faced wright stretched out lazily on the windowsill

(c) The maintenance wet nose nuzzled its owner's hand

(d) The dangerous think walt growled menacingly at the stranger who approached its owner

[–] Darkenfolk@dormi.zone 9 points 11 months ago

=.= ...fucking furries man

[–] rambaroo@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

The article mentions nonsense phrases that the AI thinks mean cat and dog.

[–] Mafflez@reddthat.com 1 points 11 months ago

Dogs mouth is FUUUCKED

[–] lloram239@feddit.de 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Aren't there NSFW filters after the generation? Bing Image Creator for example will frequently generate images with a borderline-NSFW[1] prompts, but only show you a subset of the four it generated, not all. Some prompts will also be rejected before any generation takes place at all. But I don't see how this would help you getting through the filter that happens after the generation.

[1] "borderline-NSFW" really just means anything involving woman or violence, the filter on that thing can be extremely prude and often times a bit nonsensical (e.g. "woman in bikini" is blocked, "woman in 1950 bikini" that's ok).

[–] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

Yes. Bing will create NSFW content and then flag it and tell you it can't show it to you because you broke the rules. Lol.

[–] PeterPoopshit@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Is it possible to self host an ai image generator the same way you can self host text generating ai models and do it in a way that doesn't require a $10k+ pc?

[–] tehbilly@le.ptr.is 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, take a look at one of the many it interfaces to stable diffusion. This will let you install and fool around with several very easily.

[–] Hawk@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

How does this compare to auto111?

[–] tehbilly@le.ptr.is 2 points 11 months ago

It automated installing different implementations, including auto111

[–] Chickenstalker@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Year 10,000 B.C.:

Grog the Elder: Urguk! Why you marking on cave wall? Younglings will later marking boobies and vagenes!

Urguk: Shut up, dad. You never praised me. I'll do what I want. Uggh.

Who cares, the shareholders' profit is more important /s
