Pretty soon, paying for all the APIs you need to make sure your Midjourney images are palatable will be enough to pay a human artist!

    there actually is a comment making this point now:

    Isn’t this product kind of impossible? Like a compression program that compresses compressed files? If you have an algorithm for determining whether a generated image is good or bad couldn’t the same logic be incorporated into the network so that it doesn’t generate bad images?

    the reply is a work of art:

    We’re optimistic about using our own algorithms and models to evaluate another model. In theoretical computer science, it is easier to verify a correct solution than to generate a correct solution (P vs NP problem).

    it’s not even wrong, as they say

      wh-what? I — there’s just so much wrong. is this the maximum information density of wrongness? the shortest string that encodes the most incorrect information? have these absolute motherfuckers just invented and then solved inverse Kolmogorov complexity?

        that sounds like an oversimplification that was further oversimplified by at least two editors

          They used an LLM.

        interestingly the replies have the same kind of tone that you often see in cryptographic kookery, so that’s another strong warning signal
