Dude! The lack of consistent characters is the biggest draw back from AI. It’s progressing so fast

12:12 The ‘consistent characters’ is the most interesting part of this video. It deserves a video of its own. I hope we will see truly ‘consistent’ characters, not just ‘similar’ characters that we’re seeing in Midjourney, where the character looks similar, but Midjourney adds different characteristics to that character in every image, such as changing their clothes to something else. A truly consistent character will look consistent in every scene, and their clothes won’t change either, unless we prompt for their clothes to change. Also, I’d love to see an AI tool that can not only do consistent characters, but also pose multiple consistent characters together in a scene. For storytelling, we often need to create images of scenes where two or more of our consistent characters are interacting with each other.

ITs strange to think by 2030 we could have AI generated games and worlds more detailed and beleivable than anything a triple A game developer can make with a team of a few thousand people.

I've been saying for some time that these image generators need to build a full 3D model of a recurring character for easier generation of those characters.

3:00 You forgot to mention software compression in your digital camera compared to a phone camera explanation.

Since you asked, it's not even the obvious weird ish that gives them away. Hair/fur, skin, fabrics, textures, reflections, coloration, have subtle plastic/ painterly/ unified qualities in all these pictures that aren't present in real life. Object placement and alignment would be the next things. Then obviously when things melt together lol

00:02 AI image generation has advanced rapidly and has many creative possibilities. 02:04 New AI art tech advancements have human-like qualities. 04:00 New AI technology in smartphone cameras enhances image processing and depth-of-field effects. 06:04 AI art tech can produce realistic and fantasy images from prompts. 08:03 AI image generation advancements using DALL·E 3 09:50 AI art tech advancements are mind-blowing 11:45 Advancements in AI art tech include consistent characters and styles for AI image generation. 13:44 Scenario GG's focus on AI consistent characters is a game-changer. 15:49 Mid Journey plans for realtime open world by 2024

It's odd now that the amateur aspect from pictures became the new high tech from ai generated images.

The zero stylization and raw mode really surprised me. I've been producing extremely photorealistic shots by setting stylize to 1000 and making my prompts short and non descriptive using Midjourney V6

One of the best realistic checkpoints of Stable Diffusion is Epic Realism.. It produces images of normal people (not the typical profesional models), with a lot of details and imperfections on skin, with spots, wrinkles, etc... Specially if combined with upscalers like 4x_NMKD-Superscale-SP_178000_G

about the ai influencer post, the note text was added in photoshop

Great video, Matt. I appreciate you breaking things down and sharing the news.

6 Years from now, this will look like Ancient Tech from the 80s or 90s compared to today's Tech.

Amazing like always! ❤ Go on matt

I think by the end of this year or early 2025, we will all be in shock at the generative tools we will have available. Then we will all be lost in the Elmo sauce. 😂 For some reason, I think I might start using that phrase. 🤔

Very cool. I was one dalle and chatgpt day one. And was using Google colabs before that.from watching a few of you longer videos, I can tell you understand really understand the image generation community. Thanks for the videos!

Stable Diffusion and ComfyUI is the best. You have so much control over your compositions with ComfyUI

Thank you Matt! 😀

Fascinating stuff. Agree 💯

Thanks! Useful information.👍👍👍

Cool content! So is midjourney the best for photorealism?

Great overview, thanks! I hope we can at some point create consistent virtual characters that we can pose, animate and direct (playing out a script or convincing dialogue.) All the seeds to make this possible are already out there, but the scattered workflows have to be brought together into one platform with easy UI.

Looking most forward to consistency, particularly for costumes. Can't wait for it to become available for Stable Diffusion.

Can you do more on pika ? Also runway released aspect ratio customization now too so you can change to 9:16 etc

@mattvideopro, if I want to mix non-cell filming with A.i. such as midjourney, what do you suggest is the kind of camera that can get the job done without costing a fortune?

Hey Matt. What’s the news with midjourney’s 3D image setting?

There is already holodecks in Australia from a point cloud company axiom holograms which used to be Euclidean holographics

Pretty cool and pretty funny. Thanks Matt. God bless.

Nice, very informative

Definitely so excited for the field of AI art moving to 3D. It indeed is the only way to go for creating believable videos. Though, we still need more flexibility in adjusting AI outputs, including purely manual adjustment for last touches. Still a few years away, but it's heading in the right direction.

Amazing 😍 🔥

Dude, if we get holodeck level of immersion I want to actually walk around on a holodeck Enterprise and then talk to the AI Star Trek Next Generation cast and just chill out eating some Gagh with Picard. Awesome video.

Professional artists, take a moment to absorb how incredible all of this is, but please remember to protest the use of these tools on the job (even if incrementally, because who tf can stop it). Stand with your union or unionize. If the convenience of AI Art can reduce a team of 100 to a team of 10, the chances of you being one of the 90 are pretty high.

Great video!

Matt! Happy to see a vid today! Ps. Idk if you got new glasses or a haircut, but lookin good!

These images are unbelievably believable!!!

Speaking of character consistency, Insight Faceswap with Midjourney is pretty good.

We had all that since the first Loras in Stable Diffusion... but the hands are impressive.

15:50 "Holodeck' = real-time virtual environments.

I find the detail amazing, that in the „first date“ picture, both look slightly off camera, as if they watch themselves on the phone screen and do not look into the camera - just as we doofuses all do. 😅

Great Video. I might try AI one day

+1 for the X-E4. 😀

The candid photos got some great ones had alter the prompt but love it n did it better in dalle 3 lol

Consistent character creation wasnt really working before! If its been solved then content will definitely moving from static to dynamic which means authors will write worlds and characters in place of just stories! Cant wait!

Live long and prosper. Hollowdeck is a Star Trek reference

I think midjourney ceo meant it more along the lines of prompt generated nerf style worlds that can be navigated but with a vr headset we’re again realistically 1 step closer to holodeck

Character consistency is such a high-demand item that SOMEONE is going to figure it out, eventually--probably all the AI image generators will have it, someday.

12:21 Consistent characters are coming to Midjourney very very soon. I. Can't. Wait. 😃

Apparently people got an email fom openai saying that the GPT store is coming next week. Do you know which day?

Is it the first time you wear that glasses? They look great! Not ai generated at all. Great vid, as per usual, especially your enthusiasm that is contageous

A similar effect can be achieved on Dalle-3 using the prompt ‘photo taken in 1996’ or any other year. Really outstanding results can be achieved if you tell it the details of what you want to see.

oh this is.... scary to put it at the least

That second DALL-E 3 image of Elmo looks like it could have been shot on an iPhone. The latest ones are capable of automatically applying portrait mode to people and pets when you take a photo. Not sure Android flagships can do something similar (probably can), but if not they'll be able to real soon. So those kinds of "slightly blurry" photos of subjects are gonna get more believable as they get uploaded to social media more and more.

I can't do the Sesame Street ones in GPT-4 (Dalle3)--it pings me for copyright. How did you not get hit? I switched out the copyright info for something similar, and it gave me an image, but it wasn't amazing, just OK. Then I went to the Dalle standalone site, and used the copyright prompt, and it worked great--much better than within ChatGpt...is there a reason? Aren't they using the same model?

Consistency, realism, truth, facts are some of my criteria

Did you get a new editor or are you just getting better at this?

10:11 'workflow included' means its a comfyui workflow thats in the image. All you need is the original image and pull it into comfy.

I tried the same Elmo prompt in Dall-e and it said copyright infringement. How did he get it to work?

The fun irony that AI is going to produce more "realistic phone pictures" when nearly every company is rushing to add AI upscaling to their phone cameras.

Why do I feel personally attacked at 13.41😅😅😅

This is cool

Nice! I've always been fascinated by ai art. Thanks for the video.

You're awesome bro.

Some of these AI images were simply insane. I could've sworn those were real legit photos.

Hey matt it's me drdimples 👋

I draw art for a living. I draw to create visial depictions of my imagination. I enjoy the result, not the process. AI is getting closer and closer to being able to take seconds to produce what it takes me 10 hours to produce. I LOVE AI!

Real-time open VR worlds in 2024 is not a stretch actually. Open source... UEVR was just released a couple days ago.

Love this optical AI image Brain trick discussion Matt gppd job the alternate universe of elmo lol

Wait, Midjourney doesn't even Lora yet? Hmm, and here I am preparing a dataset for another consistent character.

Similarity in general look between multiple people is usually a tell. Also, the situations created can give away whether or not an AI created it.

Scrolling through those images, text is the easiest thing to spot, otherwise it's hard to tell at a quick glance.

As incredible as those new Midjourney images look, I'm not too interested in the progress of Midjourney/DALL-E simply because they're both online-only models with limitations and restrictions. But I'm VERY excited for the possibility of good offline 3D model generation coming this year. Stable Zero123 is a good start, but with some refining and improvements by the community (mainly to reduce the VRAM needed), it could truly become something amazing.

Think about where we were were at this time last year - let that sit in your mind for awhile...

They also need to make characters consistent from frame to frame also for video generation.

i cant wait for character consistency frustration to be a thing of the past. i have been spending way too much time with my workarounds/workflow for getting around current ai's shortcomings in this regard and it just gets exhausting ... and makes art less fun

if you upscale the image and downscale for sharing you can fake perfectly because you are creating a lot of detail in the background 4:06 and then pixelating it when downscaling afterwards thus faking the image perfectly

I cant wait for ai coding to be as good as ai art

five fingers and a thumb with cross eyes gives most away

How much caffeine do you hit before you film? :D Enjoyed the vid. Keep it up, Matt. Edit: Ah! I was watching on 1.5x

If the GPT store disrupts the appstore and google play, it might end up being one of the momentous times of this decade. The expectation!

thx

It was really easy to see the images at the start were fake, because the first thing I look at is the text.

All of these AIs trying to fly before they can walk is the biggest issue. Focus on getting consistency i.e. characters that look the same in different environments AND pose from any angle. Fixing the hand, feet, limbs and weird eyes thing. Once they do that, they can do anything from there.

I wonder when _Dall-E 4_ will be released...

Whoa... MattVidPro really into News Anchoring Daddies, I'd never knew that. Whatever floats ya boat.

The ceiling is a little weird? There is an eye on it.

Somstimes I can tell it is AI, even when it looks very realistic. I make images, and if you do, it helps you spot them. Maybe on a subconscious level.

The original post from reddit had used those words taken from a photo of actual handwritten pen and then photoshopped into the file. There was also some inpainting involved I believe and the post got taken down because the third image was of h!tler as a shitpost. Still was really great and the character was consistent. It was all done locally with stable diffusion.

For what it's worth I really like the AI art, but I prefer to use it for upscaling textures and stuff like that

bing requires one to three generation o create a image like v6

there is a third post on SD subreddit that it's still alive

Most powerful AI image creator.... Matt: Make a lemon character.

Those pictures are pretty good. Only a few I could tell were AI. I think the giveaways are eyeballs and any text on screen.

I read that post for the reditt portrait image of the lady holding the paper. he used photoshop to add the text. Shame you missed the historical image 3 lol...may have been why he was banned.

The dead eyes

I can't get dall e to produce smart phone looking images like these

TBH, most of these photos only trick you if you take a quick casual glance. All are easily identifiable as AI if you look closer. Maybe MJ 7 will be indistinguishable from real photos.

Note to Midjourney: I like my Earl Grey hot.

Lightfield Labs has created real 3D. It's physical three dimensions. I've seen a couple clips on this platform. If there's a demand for holodecks then they will make them.
