I have to wonder how much releasing these models will "poison the well" and fill the internet with AI generated images that make training an improved model difficult. After all if every 9/10 "oil painted" image online starts being from these generative models it'll become increasingly difficult to scrape the web and to learn from real world data in a variety of domains. Essentially once these things are widely available the internet will become harder to scrape for good data and models will start training on their own output. The internet will also probably get worse for humans since search results will be completely polluted with these "sort of realistic" images which can ultimately be spit out at breakneck speed by smashing words from a dictionary together...

Huh, I had never thought of that. Makes it seem like there's a small window of authenticity closing.

The irony is that if you had a great discriminator to separate the wheat from the chaff, that it would probably make its way into the next model and would no longer be useful.

My only recommendation is that OpenAI et al should be tagging metadata for all generated images as synthetic. That would be a really interesting tag for media file formats (would be much better native than metadata though) and probably useful across a lot of domains.
