Because of this, a lot more art will be produced, and I can’t wait to see it.
Since good drawings are now practically free, we will see them in places where we couldn’t before, like in fanfiction.
Stable Diffusion isn’t quite as good as a talented artist, but since we can request hundreds of variations and pick the best, the quality of art might increase.
Ambiguous or neutral:
It can produce realistic images and it is easier to use and more powerful than Photoshop, so we will see a lot of misinformation online. But once most people realize how easy it is to fabricate false photographs hopefully it will lead them to trust what they see online way less than they did before, and closer to the appropriate level.
Anyone will be able to make porn of anyone else. As long as people don’t do anything stupid after seeing the images, this seems inconsequential. As discussed on HN, it might cause people to stop worrying about others seeing them naked, even if the photos are real.
Anyway, both of these will cause a lot of drama, which I at least, perhaps selfishly, consider to be slightly positive.
Negative:
I expect a lot of people will lose their jobs. Most companies will prefer to reduce their costs and hire a few non-artists to make art rather than making more art.
New kinds of scams will become possible and some people will keep believing everything they see online.
Unlike DALL-E 2, anyone can access this, so it will be much more popular and will make many people realize how advanced current AI is and how consequential it will be, which will probably lead to more funding.
Positive:
People will pay way less for new pretty images than they did before.
Thanks to img2img people that couldn’t draw well before now finally can: https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/wvcyih/definitely_my_favourite_generation_so_far/
