OpenAI's DALL-E 3 Just Got Outmatched By This AI!

surprising news appeared an artist spent a 100 hours creating something truly incredible for a book cover image unfortunately only to be accused having used an AI however when I looked at this my first thought was that this looks way too good for an AI image in 2023 why is that well look there is so much detail in this image no state-of-the-art text to image AI system can match it the resolution of this image the number of pixels are just too high until now dear fellow Scholars this is 2minute papers with Dr Caro now previous techniques already exist to increase the resolution of input images or even videos this is what we call upscaling or super resolution and it is starting to appear in video games and in some cases it already runs in real time so why not apply it to these AI me photos that should be easier than video right well not quite you see super resolution means that we introduce new information into an image and this new information is unfortunately not always what should be there for instance text can easily get mangled in video games or if we have a stationary photo that we would like to frame it better not have artifacts like this right so is all hope lost for high resolution images that was what I thought until I saw the news from mid Journey a popular text to image AI system which can now create incredibly detailed high resolution images with a recent update and the results are truly insane how does it work well you first generate a lower resolution image these are pretty good however when we start zooming in we start to see the limits of this resolution but then hold on to your papers fellow Scholars because we can ask it to perform 4X super resolution and then this happens there is just so much more detail in these images I am completely stunned wow this seems like years and years of progress and it just dropped a few days ago in an update like nothing had happened now other super resolution or image upscaling systems also exist in fact they are in abundance today we have so many options however this kind of quality is beyond what I have seen from other Solutions out there according to other users it is perhaps matched only by the gigapixel AI system I gave it a brief try and did not have too much luck with it so far it is also a standalone application which is not necessary when it is built right into the text to image AI for me so far this workflow has been unmatched and it just delivers over and over again my opinion is that these techniques are deceivingly useful you see you may often have an image that is a regular photograph or an AI generated work where you love the image but the framing is not quite perfect and you would only like to use one small part of it however when you do that you take the parts that you like and suddenly there are just not enough details for this image to stand on its own and in these cases these super resolution techniques can make or break that image loving it now not even this technique is perfect not even close in some cases excessive smoothing happens which is quite curious look you would think that this is the low resolution image and this is the upscaled but that is not the case due to this smoothing details are not only added to the image but some can even disappear in the process but in return the overall image and the edges of the objects are way sharper so there are cases where this is a tradeoff that we have to consider and my goodness through the power of AI research today everyone can experience the amazing feeling of their artistic ideas coming to life there are already systems that even work on the phone in your pocket wow and to think that text to video also exist just imagine that soon this is what will happen to videos 2 soon everyone will be able to become a movie director for at a small cost and then over time all
