The tech isn't there yet. There are so often distracting flaws around the hands/feet. The AI doesn't really know what a human is, its just endlessly re-combining existing material.
As much as I loathe having to reveal this to you, the shapeliness of the hands should be semi-negligible to most people who would love to have an image created from the statement "I want to see Billie Eilish's boobs".
Agree that was a strange take. Can you usually tell it's AI/fake? Yes. Is it still achieving the goal of the creator/user? Yes.
You underestimate how important the feet are to many.
I'm not into feet specifically, but when I ask for "Veronica Mars in a string bikini" I don't want to get "Veronica Mars with unattached toes." It's distracting AF.
Doesn't happen with real models, or even human-made hentai.
I'd be surprised if in a year or two AI still struggles with hands and feet
Rob Leifield could barely draw hands/feet and managed a successful career as a comic book artist.
It already doesn't if you take the time to use tools like LORAS, Controlnet, and Inpainting to guide the output.
So about the same amount of work to Photoshop an celebs head onto a naked body.
Got it. I'm terrified of all the poorly made fanfic. Even perfectly made fanfic will never have the effect of a real photo or irl
Just because the ai produces a model with Billie eilishes face and a naked body does not mean you've seen her nude for real.
Its the exact same as drawing a naked lady and then drawing Billie eilish's face on it.
If that really gets you off and really violates her autonomy in some way I'd be interested to hear how. Its not currently illegal to draw real people in fictional scenarios is it?
Implicit in this statement is that people who're inclined to generate a visual simulacrum of a real person for fantasy purposes actually care if it's real. By definition, it's not. If "real" was an issue to them, they probably wouldn't bother with it.
Key word is yet.
Yeah some body parts are a little weird today, but what about tomorrow, next week, next month, next year?
I really haven't given this much attention but the last time I did maybe 6-8 months ago, most of the photos had hands that were stuff of nightmares. Looking at them again today at least from the quick 10 minutes of looking they have improve significantly. Yeah they are still far from perfect but a handful are very good, most are passable and a few are still nightmare fuel.
