MidJourney In Trouble? Open-Source and FREE AI Generator SDXL Is Stunning (Comparison)

In this video, we look at the new version of Stable Diffusion, SDXL 0.9, which is a huge leap forward in quality for open-source AI art generators. This puts it on par with MidJourney, but it's free, nearly unlimited, and completely open-source. Plus, it can be run on most modern computers locally. I do a direct comparison, what do you think about the new SDXL?

Enjoy :)

8:01 The ‘relight’ feature is really impressive. It’s very useful to be able to change the lighting of the image generated in real time.

With the right mods, prompting techniques and good models, SD older engines can already get images as good as midjourney

[Maisonier]

Certainly! We would greatly appreciate it if you could create a tutorial for installing this Stable Diffusion version. It would be even more amazing if you could provide an introductory guide to all the tools associated with Stable Diffusion, such as Dreambooth. This guide could cover topics like model training techniques and the benefits of utilizing LORA for different models. Additionally, including best practices for organizing folders, managing Python versions, virtual environments, and avoiding conflicts with other tools like Oobabooga would be incredibly helpful. We would be thrilled to have access to such comprehensive resources, and we want to express our sincere gratitude in advance. Liked, already subscribed and shared.

this is my "favorite tv show" for the last few months

The best option! I spend hours trying to come up with good coloring pages with other AI app... I decided to try with SDXL 1.0 as my last option, and it really blew my mind!!! It's really incredible!

SD has always been better than MJ, the plasticity and tools it offers are superior, as well as being free, now that SD generates high quality images tools like ControlNet will give wings to creativity and professional production.

Midjourney seems to release new features every week. Last week we got zoom out and some orher things and last night they released --weird parameter. In 4 weeks it might be quite different what it is today as MJ6 is expected to come out.

This is not a fair comparison. Featured images on mid journey are ones that happened to turn out really well with that particular prompt, it's the one in a thousand best result. Run it again and the results aren't nearly as good. So you're comparing the cherry picked one in a thousand best results on mid journey, with one shot results on stable diffusion. This is an unfair comparison. You need to regenerate the image on mid journey with the prompt, and then compare that one shot result with the one shot result on stable diffusion. That is a fair comparison.

Awesome! Can't wait for you to do an install walkthrough once they release the full model, because my computer can actually run this locally!

When 1.0 hits it's over and now Meta vision is out and GPT4 VISION eventually we won't see issues with creation any more

[project-asgard]

I admit I'm impressed with SDXL, it's really good at following prompts and much easier to use than Midjourney. Midjourney is still better, especially for power users (I have over 30K images on MJ), but SD is catching up fast! Can't wait for SDXL 1.0, especially if they fix their tools, as the 'uncrop' tool is not working at all, it can barely handle backgrounds but nothing too detailed, whereas MJ 'Zoom Out' works wonders.

Great video, spent a lot of time playing with this yesterday. I struggle to get the images to be super realistic however the quality is amazing!

[flcamera]

Thank you for the info, Midjoury kinda confuses me and wanted to generate instead of grab b-roll for my next short (as I did with AI story but Crayon and Dall-e weren't giving the imagines I wanted as I wanted some a closer to "real" look) so this was of great help. Just signed up and used up all my tokes :)

[Juju_Vidya]

It's funny how all these videos on youtube always have to mention Midjourney in their title 🤣 Then when doing the comparison through prompting it turns out that it looks nothing like Midjourney 😂 I would say its better to just talk about an AI model with doing a comparison instead of trying to compare it all the time to Midjourney, because lets be honest MJ is in a class of its own.

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"

[allenstroud]

I agree. I've spent at least two hours and it was great! Thanks for sharing.

[TheNerdiestKids]

If you're going to mention Midjourney, you need to mention it together with Niji, which has more illustrative imagination. Mid journey ain't close to in trouble with this. It's an okay start tho.

This sounds like a game-changer! 😲🚀 MidJourney facing challenges, but the introduction of an open-source and free AI generator like SDXL is a truly stunning development. Embracing open-source technology can foster collaboration and innovation within the AI community. Excited to witness how SDXL will empower users and revolutionize AI generation. Kudos to the team behind this remarkable initiative! 🙌💡 #OpenSourceAI #SDXL #AIInnovation

[ratbassterds]

Wow thanks. I used to pay for mid journey and these other AI art aren't the best. But this is up there and has other great features. 👍

What about privacy options? Are all images public or can we do anything privately?
