coders going through it rn - reminds me of when dall-e dropped and artists had their own existential crisis but then after a quick peak all the models got progressively less creative as they turned more recursive https://x.com/creatine_cycle/status/1900621371350413790?s=46&t=Yy6048FIfLRlntFA3yXpnw

Agreed, sort of - the models didn't really get less creative, they got less creative *by default. Or they just defaulted to BS, like your out-of-box rig was set up for failure. I think, personally, Midjourney is in a phenomenal place, it just has 100x or more workflow and parameter tuning options that make it just not easy to use anymore. So ironically the artists who complained that it didn't take skill (they're right) are being proven right by the people who use it without a semblance of skill. This isn't to say tuning a model is a skill per se, but knowing that something needs tuning is the first step to hearing the music sort of. The best vibe coding right now requires a level of language and conceptual knowledge that is not widely held. It's not like some tiktoker who says "do X but make it good and easy and cheap" can get from 0 to launch easy But because there are so many ppl hyping Vibe Coding, a lot of people think these tools are way stronger or easier to use than they actually are

yeah i dunno, i use midjourney a lot, like a super duper power user, probably hundreds of thousands of images generated at this point, and i'm finding it harder and harder to get it to do out of the box stuff. maybe i'm losing my edge though. and yeah, vibe coding sounds actually tough because i don't have the language to explain what i want - i wouldn't know where to start.
