Meta AI rolled out a new model that OBLITERATED my workflow and got rid of every ounce of artistic ability! [See image comparisons for reference]
Hi! I just subscribed to Meta AI and not even a day later the worst update in the history of updates just obliterated what I was trying to achieve with the image generator. Im going to try not to rant in this post, so I have provided images as reference to hopefully be able to prove my point
But some context is needed: After asking the meta AI chatbot itself, as I understand it, Meta AI has long used a model called Emu, which is the one I was using, but is in the process of launching a model called Muse Lite or Muse Spark, which is the terrible generic ones that Im now stuck with. The old Emu model which I was using all day yesterday created 4 images per prompt, and did so rather quickly. I specified a very styliced concept art type of artsyle akin to Dishonored, Disco Elysium, Hades 2, and Arcane, and it was able to nail that artsyle PERFECTLY in my opinion (see images). But since the new model got implemented it started working entirely differently, instead of 4 images it now only created 1, and taking a longer time to do it, even adding a new real-time rapport of what its doing while generating. However, the worst thing is that it CANNOT for the LIFE OF IT generate the same artsyle. Every generation, no matter the prompt, becomes a ultra generic AI slop cartoon artsyle (see images).
I hope the differences in the images are as apparent for you guys as it is for me. Anyone who has played Dishonored or watched Arcane should atleast be able to tell that the "before" images are much better at replicating that particular artsyle.
^(Just as a disclaimer, I realize that it's common for staggered roleouts of updates for software like this, so maybe this update was released to some of you weeks ago, or maybe it is yet to be rolled out for you, im not sure. This update literally happened as I was right in the middle of working with it.)^
^(I also realize that technically these newer models that all these companies are releasing are *better* by some defenition of the word. The old model that I am praising in this post definitely got anatomy and the laws of physics wrong plenty of times, but god damn was it more artistic.)^
