Comparing old image generation model (left) vs new one (right). Does anyone actually like this new SLOP model!?
This is just a whiny post from me to vent about the horrible new model that meta switched to recently.
I made another post about it a week ago, but then I learnt from another post that the old model still worked on the "vibes.ai" site, however now that has been replaced as well and the old model seems to be officially dead and buried.
No wonder everyone hates AI slop when this is the direction we are heading in. Extremely generic, over-rendered, over-detailed, soulless. Clearly AI CAN make artful stylized images as evidenced by the old model, but like every other commercial model out there, its all blending together to this generic sloppy slop.
Yes, the old model would make anatomical mistakes from time to time, and render warped objects that it wasn't clear what it was supposed to depict, but it could make fantastic stylized images with a great eye for composition, color, stylistic proportions, etc.
Yes, I know my best bet is to try local open-source image generation and that I could probably train a LoRA in this artstyle, but that isnt the point of this post. The point of this post is to point out and compare how awful these "updated" image generation models are, at least when it comes to stylized illustraion.
Sorry if I just seem whiny and butthurt, but I just cant fathom how anyone, user or developer, could ever think this looks better...
