Hmm… I would usually think of proc gen as being more deterministic than what LLMs do (even if they use random numbers there’s usually a seed value to get consistent random numbers)

I haven't re-installed my local copy of stable diffusion yet, but I'm pretty sure same seed + same prompt = same output. If you have one to hand, feel free to try... Thinking about this a bit more, I guess not, since you can run batches from the same seed, so I guess it's not exactly the same?

Either way, running the same seed + prompt at least gives you similar outputs. It belongs in the same type of... "tool"?

Maybe if the guidelines are to ban LLMs? But even then, I want the weird , difficult to create LLM stuff to be posted, as long as it's not suffocating everything else.

I guess in some ways the important part is how much work the purported artist put in to the output.

Yeah, I think this is something even the most hardcore AI guys will agree with. No one wants the community to be overrun by drivel.
