Are you dense? You do realise other people's experiences are literally out there right, are they all just lying, performance issues never happen cause of developer/management incompetency/tight deadlines? You've got an article that is literally based off peoples experiences and tells you why the software optimisation is having issues, hell the article is about a fix for performance issues that didn't even fix it

If there wasn't issue why did the developers have to release a fix? Explain that one are the developers lying too?

It may have, the article I posted was from last week. I did a quick google search of the article title and reddit, but didn't see anything other than the one about watermarking. There's a new one posted today from cartoonbrew, in case that counts https://www.cartoonbrew.com/law/midjourney-ai-images-us-copyright-office-226437.html

my knowledge about the geopolitics of the chinese market and its progress is limited, but learning chinese i can see how their writing system would be an advantage. it's so many things at once it's mind boggling and is the proof of cultural genius. they are constantly training on complex visual data.

Here's what was said about the difference between photography and AI art generation :

'The office argued that, unlike a photographer, Midjourney users have
very limited control of the final images. Photographers manipulate
framing, lighting, subject, exposure time, depth of field, composition,
and more when creating a photograph. According to USCO, “The process by
which a Midjourney user obtains an ultimate satisfactory image through
the tool is not the same as that of a human artist, writer, or
photographer… the initial prompt by a user generates four different
images based on Midjourney’s training data. While additional prompts
applied to one of these initial images can influence the subsequent
images, the process is not controlled by the user because it is not
possible to predict what Midjourney will create ahead of time.'

according to the copyright office, it's different because photographers have a direct creative input into the image produced.

using AI to generate art seems closer to Art Direction, rather than the creation of art itself

And the groundwork has already been laid on social media for unwitting citizens to sympathize with these hostile powers. just wait until your grandma is absolutely convinced something is real not because a foxnews asshole said so- because she has "proof."
