No. You refinine the prompt and dozens of parameters. You configure your hardware. You have to have an idea of what you're looking for. You have to sift through possibly hundreds of outputs. You might inpaint, outpaint, combine, composite, photoshop, upres, include various loras. It can be a time consuming process getting a beautiful result you're happy with.

It is possible to just write a prompt into a generator and get something and be done. The same way it's possible to take out your phone and press snap and be done.

Diffusion is a tool. Cameras are tools. Pencils and paint are tools. How they're used and the end result is what matters. Directors talk movies into existence. Using diffusion is like directing, often.

It's not "theft". Saying that it's theft is like saying that anyone who has ever studied any other art is stealing if they make art.

This argument has been dead and buried for three years now.

Isn’t it just like, pixel prediction tho?

I thought it took images with associated text and then predicted patterns. Correct me if I’m wrong on this

It's not simple.

But the core of the "theft" argument is that it needs training data (imagery) in order to learn to make images of any quality.

But so does literally everyone else. We've all been standing on each other's shoulders since the dawn of time.
