Notes on AI Image Generator Presentation

Introduction to Flux Image Generator

  • New Image Generator: Flux can generate accurate hands and fingers, and text.
  • Performance: Effectively follows tricky prompts and can create low-quality selfie images.
  • Realism: Makes it difficult to distinguish AI-generated images from real ones.

Test Comparison of Image Generators

Models Tested

  1. Flux (new model)
  2. Stable Diffusion 3 (sd3)
  3. Stable Diffusion XL (sdxl)

Test Prompts and Observations

  1. Prompt 1: Three young African children making a "P" sign.

    • Observation: Flux accurately depicted the children and hands.
  2. Prompt 2: Children in a red car eating watermelon.

    • Observation: Flux had better quality; faces were detailed, while sd3 had blurry faces.
  3. Prompt 3: Woman with guns facing the camera.

    • Observation: Both Flux and sd3 performed well, but Flux showed better quality.
  4. Prompt 4: Woman lying on grass.

    • Observation: Flux nailed it, while sd3 generated grotesque images.
  5. Prompt 5: Young woman playing bass guitar.

    • Observation: Flux was the only model to generate a four-string bass accurately.
  6. Prompt 6: Young woman standing with a teddy bear.

    • Observation: Flux followed the prompt well; quality was superior.
  7. Prompt 7: Woman with bloodstains on a couch.

    • Observation: Flux had the best quality despite inaccuracies in skulls.
  8. Prompt 8: Anime girl with fluffy ears eating pie.

    • Observation: Flux followed the prompt better, while sdxl had superior image quality.
  9. Prompt 9: Woman in refrigerator.

    • Observation: Flux generated consistent quality; sd3 missed details.

Conclusion from Tests

  • Overall Winner: Flux generally provided better quality images and adhered better to prompts.
