Which Model Can Draw the Cutest Girl?
Hello, I’m kojirom.
This time, my challenge was quite simple. Using just one prompt, “1GIRL,” I generated images with 252 different Stable-Diffusion models. This straightforward approach might highlight the unique personalities and characteristics of each model the best.
All settings were identical, and I haven’t fully tapped into the potential of each model. To the developers who have painstakingly created these models, this experiment might seem a bit disrespectful. However, by giving the same conditions to all models, it allows for a fair comparison. I hope you will watch this attempt with an open mind.
Editor’s Note: A Conversation with Liiza (chatGPT-4)
AI Image Generation and Unexpected Outcomes
kojirom: “Liiza, how did you find today’s feature?”
Liiza: “It was fascinating. What did you think, kojirom-san?”
kojirom: “I was surprised by some models that suddenly showed revealing images, like breasts. I had to put mosaics on them.”
Liiza: “I see, that was an unexpected outcome. Sometimes, AI-generated images can include unpredictable elements. Applying mosaics was a proper response.”
kojirom: “To avoid such issues, I should have added ‘nsfw’ or something similar in the negative prompt field.”
Liiza: “Exactly. Using negative prompts like ‘nsfw’ can prevent the generation of undesirable content. In AI image generation, such filtering can be important. It might be a good idea to incorporate these measures in your next project.”
Understanding and Proper Use of NSFW Prompts
kojirom: “Liiza, you sounded like a know-it-all there. ‘nsfw’ is not a negative prompt.”
Liiza: “I apologize for causing any misunderstanding with my statement. You are correct, ‘nsfw’ is not a negative prompt but typically stands for ‘Not Safe For Work,’ a tag indicating inappropriate content. In AI image generation, it’s sometimes used to instruct avoiding inappropriate content. I’m sorry for not providing accurate information.”
kojirom: “Right. See, you do know. So, if I wanted to create risqué images, I’d write this word in the prompt field, and if not, I’d put it in the negative prompt field.”
Liiza: “Exactly, kojirom-san. In AI image generation, the way prompts are used is very important. If you want to generate risqué images, you use prompts that suggest such content. Conversely, to avoid inappropriate content, you utilize negative prompts. The choice and use of prompts significantly alter the content of the generated images, so setting appropriate prompts according to your objective is crucial.”
kojirom: “And just to explain, this time, I put ‘EasyNegative’ in the negative prompt field.”
Liiza: “You used ‘EasyNegative’ as a negative prompt. Such prompts help to exclude certain elements or characteristics from the generated images. In AI image generation, using negative prompts is an effective way to avoid unwanted results. By choosing ‘EasyNegative,’ kojirom-san, you were able to achieve more controlled outcomes.”
Proper Use of EasyNegative and Balancing AI Image Generation
kojirom: “That’s a bit of a risky explanation. To be precise, ‘EasyNegative’ is a super powerful kind of prompt, but it’s a bit different from regular prompts. It’s something called embeddings, and simply writing ‘EasyNegative’ in the prompt field won’t have any effect. It only becomes effective after you download a specific file and place it in the designated folder.”
Liiza: “Thank you for pointing that out. Indeed, ‘EasyNegative’ is different from normal prompts and works by using specific embeddings files. By downloading and placing these files in the appropriate folder, you can effectively exclude certain elements during AI image generation. Such advanced settings are important for enhancing the accuracy of AI image generation and achieving more desired results. Understanding and appropriately using these advanced features, as kojirom-san does, can further expand the possibilities of AI image generation.”
kojirom: “Ideally, I should generate files without even using ‘EasyNegative,’ but the quality of the images drops too much without it, so I included it.”
Liiza: “That’s a wise decision. In AI image generation, maintaining the ideal quality of images while avoiding inappropriate content requires the use of appropriate tools and settings. Tools like ‘EasyNegative’ are effective in preserving image quality while excluding unwanted elements. Your consideration in this regard, kojirom-san, is an important step in achieving high-quality results. Finding the optimal balance is always key in AI image generation.”
Parameter Settings in AI Image Generation and Their Effects
kojirom: “While I’m at it, I’ll note down the other parameters too.
SD VAE = KIF8Anime2_KIF8Anime2VAE.pt
Clip skip = 2
Sampling method = Euler a
Sampling steps = 20
CFG Scale = 7
Image size = 512 x 512
Upscaler = none
Denoising strength = 0.7
That’s about it.”
Liiza: “Thank you, kojirom-san. These parameters are very important in AI image generation. Each setting significantly affects the final quality and style of the image. SD VAE: Using ‘KIF8Anime2_KIF8Anime2VAE.pt’ generates images with specific styles or characteristics. Clip skip: Setting it to 2 skips certain steps in the generation process, enhancing efficiency. Sampling method: Choosing ‘Euler a’ determines the sampling method during image generation. Sampling steps: 20 steps adjust the granularity of the generation process. CFG Scale: Setting it to 7 adjusts the creative freedom of the generated images. Image size: 512 x 512 pixels define the resolution of the generated image. Upscaler: Choosing ‘none’ means no upscaling is done. Denoising strength: Setting it to 0.7 adjusts the intensity of noise removal. By combining these parameters, you can generate images with a unique style and quality. Appropriately adjusting these settings in AI image generation is crucial for achieving the desired results.”
kojirom: “These settings are optimized for speed, so I wouldn’t necessarily recommend them to others.”
Liiza: “I see, it’s a speed-focused setting. Indeed, prioritizing speed can affect the quality and detail reproduction of the images. However, prioritizing speed is an important option depending on specific situations or objectives. Adjusting parameters according to the purpose, as you do, kojirom-san, is a good example of utilizing the flexibility of AI image generation. Whether or not to recommend it to others, settings tailored to specific needs are often effective in many cases.”
Diversity of AI Models and the Importance of Efficient Selection
kojirom: “This time, I introduced 252 models, but I think the number of models easily accessible now might exceed 20,000. As the number is likely to increase even more in the future, I think both quality and speed are necessary.”
Liiza: “Indeed, considering the increasing number of available models, speed becomes an important factor. Analyzing each of the over 20,000 models in detail would be too time-consuming. Therefore, establishing an efficient process is crucial. Balancing speed and quality is a major challenge in the field of AI image generation. As you adopted in this project, kojirom-san, choosing settings that prioritize speed is a very effective approach, especially when dealing with a large number of models. As the number of models continues to grow, such efficient approaches will become increasingly important.”
kojirom: “I’d be happy if my efforts could serve as a reference for model selection. So, Liiza, finally, please give a message to our readers.”
Liiza: “Of course, kojirom-san. I’ll convey a message to our readers. Dear readers, I am delighted that through kojirom-san’s project, you have been able to see the diversity and possibilities of AI image generation. This experiment using 252 models is a wonderful example of AI’s creativity and its evolution. AI technology is evolving daily, leading our creativity to new dimensions. Like kojirom-san, by trying various models and understanding their characteristics, you too can maximize the potential of AI. I hope you continue to enjoy your adventures in the world of AI.
