Rough draft of ideas involving AI image generation.
(Ignore this as I'm spitballing ideas)
There are a few things that define image generation and the final look images get.
1: art style
Art style (artist tags, art types) heavily define the look of images. A good example is something extreme that you want to generate like gigantic breasts (not human sized macromastia large, like excessively large) default tags just don't generate that. A fix to tard wrangle the AI is to mix art styles to force unique generations.
When using art style tags objects and locations will also change to fit the style of that artist. If an artist draws a bedroom the bedroom location generated will look like that bedroom. So good for spicing up locations, bad because there a bias given to the generation.
2: objects, clothes, things
Pretty easy to understand. Bikini implies beaches or pools. Building implies cities. If you use the tag of a known character using tags of the clothes they wear it will make that piece of clothing look like what they wear.
3: angles, image composition, poses
This has the least effect as poses don't really change an image dramatically. In fact the AI will "guess" the appearance of a character even if that character has only been seen from the front. The only issue with pose tags is that they will sometimes cause extra limbs or deformities.
The key to these tags is that they are used to make specific images that the AI has a hard time making. For example everyone loves mating press art but the AI has a hard time naturally making it. In some cases a "from below" tag had to be used even though there are no "from below" images of mating press in Danbooru. The reason being is that "from below" is helpful in angling the ass towards the camera.
I'll explain more about this issue later. #zemAI :back_from_gab:
My own personal opinion of the Nijisanji implosion: preamble. #vtuberapocalypse
This will be a short thread going over my own personal thoughts over the Nijisanji's EN branch and the events leading up to this. For the past 2 years I have been predicting the eventual downfall of Nijisanji and have compared it to the wrestling company WCW. The reason being because Nijisanji's internal staff seems to be making the same mistakes to the point that if they don't solve them well... Something like the Selen drama would happen. While rrats and speculation runs rampant what my posts will be going over is my own mindset on the situation. This isn't supposed to be my own "grand unified rrat" this is supplemental information and personal theories as to why some of that rrat is true and what it gets wrong. At least in my opinion.
Since it seems like the dust has settled for the time being on Nijisanji's drama I think I'm gonna write up my final rrat on everything and detail what will probably happen in the future.

@McMongoose I use this for UC
lowres, bad anatomy, bad hands, text, error, missing fingers, extra digit, fewer digits, cropped, worst quality, low quality, normal quality, very displeasing, displeasing, jpeg artifacts, signature, watermark, username, blurry,
As for sampler stuff and other settings here is a screenshot of them
First I use add quality tags because it really doesn't interfere with anything, but keep in the back of your mind that they will interfere if you want to do "low quality" stuff.
Second, i don't use UC presets because they interfere with loli and other NSFW stuff. You can still do it with it on but I keep it off.
Third, the UC I use is the basic one with "worst quality, low quality, normal quality, very displeasing, displeasing" added. Those tags are novelAI specific and control what quality of art gets used in the generation. Look in the docs for all those tags because they can be used to control the look of art. Like if you want a very simple art style then putting the higher quality tags in the UC may help.
Fourth, my settings with samplers tends to fluctuate. But I keep stuff in the "free opus generation" settings and then bump up the quality later with currency so I can save currency.
Some final notes on settings:
Prompt guidance should not be changed, only change it if you're not getting what you want. This is also for some advanced stuff but it's not relevant for what you're doing.
Sampler choice doesn't matter unless you're trying to focus on art styles. Auto is different from "SMEA+DYN". SMEA may fuck with certain generations but I haven't tested enough to figure out what exactly it fucks with, but overall it makes images look "better" and it's free in opus until you bump up the quality, then cost of using this gets tacked on.
I don't mess with advanced settings.
I don't see a reason to use undesired content strength.
Prompt guidance rescale is useful as it will change how the image looks, .80-1.00 is the danger point where it damages images.
Noise schedule shouldn't be messed with. Apparently prompt guidance rescale is used with this but it's not helpful, I don't like messing with this and have to turn it off when I want to generate something else. Screenshot_20240215-173530-423.png Screenshot_20240215-173415-619.png
@McMongoose
To further explain the sampler choice here is a set of the same seed using "photorealistic, realistic" as the art style. One is set with auto, then the one after that is with the SMEA DYN options on. DDIM only has one image because those options can't be used with it.
Listening to you guys talk about tuber drama reminds me of those gossip magazines my aunty used to read when I was a kid. Truly we have come full circle. 1678162011831096.jpg
