Gone are the days when AI art looked indistinguishable from handmade art. Now, with generative AI models such as DeepFloyd IF, realistic images can be created from simple prompts. DeepFloyd IF, the latest text-to-image model launched by Stability AI, is backed by a data set of more than a billion images and text. It works by stacking several processes together in a modular architecture to generate highly intricate images.
DeepFloyd IF is customizable and offers functionality like legible text, fonts, and multiple languages. These unique features sets it apart from other models such as OpenAI’s DALL-E 2 and Stable Diffusion. Companies like Nightcafe have been granted early access to the Open Source DeepFloyd IF — although the license restricts its usage to only non-commercial settings. Nightcafe CEO Angus Russell expressed his enthusiasm for DeepFloyd IF, noting its ability to plug into generative art possibilities, ranging from logo design to web design.
However, like other AI models, DeepFloyd IF carries with it a risk of producing biased images — a case in point being models like Stable Diffusion and OpenAI’s DALL-E 2 which favor white, western culture over others. The DeepFloyd team acknowledges the issue, cautioning users about the potential for bias in its fine print. To combat this, the team has put in place custom filters to weed out watermarked, NSFW and inappropriate content from the training dataset.
In conclusion, DeepFloyd IF stands out as a major advancement in text-to-image AI. With its powerful features, the promise of creative applications, and custom filters in place, it is sure to have a large impact on the generative AI art domain in the future.
Stability AI is a pioneering research group in the field of generative AI art, often producing models that are widely acclaimed around the world. At the helm of the group is Angus Russell, CEO of NightCafe. He is renowned for his innovative vision and his passion for AI and generative art, which drives the group to strive for excellence. Russell currently leads a team of dedicated developers who actively pursue the integration of text into AI-generated images, thus driving the vision for DeepFloyd IF. With the potential to produce highly accurate text-integrated images, DeepFloyd IF is poised to set a new standard for generative AI art.
