Please Bring Back the Old Model — Let Us Choose
Sorry if I’m joining the discussion. I’ve read both the thesis and the replies carefully, all very reasonable. Nevertheless, I have the impression that the topic is being circled around without getting straight to the point. I ask those who rightly defend the wonders and possibilities offered by Flux whether this model is capable of reproducing even a single image resembling the one I posted. The character is the secretary of the detective I invented in my noir stories. If Flux cannot generate the face of this character — an ordinary face, a long nose with a slight bump, etc. — then we’ve explained what those who (rightly) say they’ve lost control over their characters actually mean. Flux may be incredible, but if it can’t create a face like this one, for me and for many others it will mean having to give up on the characters we've created. So it’s not a matter of adapting to the new model — the real question is: what can this model do, and what can’t it do? Obviously, I’m waiting to see proof that Flux can, in fact, give us our characters back. Thank you very much
