And top of this page - 6 fingers:
It is a very true problem that AI still has some pretty big hallucinating issues. I actually counted everyone's figures on this entire thread, and its about 50 percent correct hands, definitely not 100 percent.
Right now I would consider AI a race between developers not a completed process. However, last time I commented almost all hands were incorrect, so there is definitely some evolution going on. AI is not in a static state at all.
I can only give my opinion on the site i use. Agreed AI is not in a Static State.
The site i use has lots of AI Models, and lots of Pre-sets. As you would imagine some Models/Pre-sets are better than others at certain things, Some are good at Faces, some better with Text and on and on. It is possible to create AI Art Works that are almost 100% True to your prompt. Many things are in play here
Runtime = Each Pre-set /Model, you can choose how long the runtime will be, Short, Medium Or Long, longer runtimes gives better results but costs more Credits
Free Models and Pre-sets tend to give poorer results (But Not Always) than Pro.
Pro Models And Pre-sets are a lot better as you would imagine as this is the way of the world, "You Get What You Pay For" Comes to mind.
You always have to start with a good Prompt no matter what setting you use, then based on these settings, you choose the model/Pre-set that will try and give you the best Creation Based on your Prompt. One you have an image you have to decide "What's Next" Do you publish As Is, or do you use more site tools, Like Fix faces Or Creative Upscale to enhance detail and backgrounds.
Each Extra Step Costs More Credits, but that is not all. Each Pre-set/Model costs different amounts to use Creative Upscale Ect , so you have to find a balance giving you what you want, in the quality you prefer.
In the past i have been very happy with plenty of my lower cost Creations as upscaling them costs less, but i have also used Pro Models and Pre-sets giving me better "Out Of The Box" Results, but costing me 10 times as much to use Upscale or other Site Tools.
Then but not least, you Have Negative Prompts. I still have not dealt too much with these as it is a learning curve best used when you have the know how, using a bad Negative Prompt can result in an image that you will Delete and will not use, but it will still cost you all the credits used to try and make it as perfect as possible (Or So You Thought)
I know and understand my AI Art Works Are Not Perfect, i could spend my time making AI Art Abstract Shapes which for me seems to be very easy to create and Look Perfect, and cost a fraction of most of the images i put up here in the forum, but due to my Dementia, I Push Myself each day doing Much More Difficult Creations. I am Having Fun doing this, and if a Finger count on previous Creations is anything to go by, They Are Getting Better. Ha Ha .
