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...

It will not be limited to the internet. Have you looked at a magazine stand in the last 10 years? The content looks generated (not by AI) even today.
Cheap books, cheap TV and cheap music will be generated.
