Lol, keep doing it, they should adapt. Stable diffusion is literally free.
It is. But if you fully and openly disclose that’s what you’re doing when selling a individual a personalized product for literally their own enjoyment, I don’t see the harm.
Sure, the client isn’t going to tell people that weren’t there that it’s all generated, but what’s the problem? Someone might believe you were media-attractive 10 years ago at your wedding?
Photography probably put a lot of portrait painters out of business, but it didn’t destroy painting as an art form.
Grab that bag, man.
Now you can prove you’re a scumbag with this one easy trick!
Bride just doesn’t get to choose how many fingers she has
Or actually have photos of people? Or it actually be her.
Like ai is good, but it’s not going to look like you
With stable diffusion you can use real pictures or parts of real pictures and just let AI make up everything around it. It’s not like you’re generating the whole picture. You could, but it wouldn’t be useful for wedding pictures.
Then again it’s a greentext and as we all know: everything on the internet is true.
True, there are some people who don’t have 5 fingers (4and a thumb for you weirdos).
as part of your prompt you can specify digits and use negative prompts to lower the number of digits. On my 2070 I can push out an image every 17ish seconds so having a better cards means you can push out more faster. If the image has an odd digit you can not use it for upscaling.
With this method, I manage to get 14-fingered hands reliably. After that, the results get worse. 15-fingered hands work about 50% of the time. Asking for more fingers usually results in the summoning of a demon octopus, which is annoying to get rid of.
The nurseries and childcare facilities I work with are not thrilled but I love my job.
Why bother with the wedding at all? Just sit on the couch alone and swipe through fake pictures of someone who doesn’t even look like you at a wedding that never happened! That’s where the real savings kick in!
On the plus side, at least Anon can now dispell any rumors about his love life with photos of his TOTALLY REAL marriage to his 14 year old waifu who is actually an 800 year old wizard!
I’m wondering the same thing, and want to believe the story is fake.
Our wedding wasn’t super fancy, but why would I want fake pictures of something that never happened? It doesn’t make sense to me at all
I mean, you always see this around new technology/fads, all the time. When it’s new or ongoing, there’s either an excitement at the novelty or being in the minority of people doing it; people see the chance to do some of the things that fix limitations of the current process and there’s always those willing to try that out.
For a day that’s already compounded with expectation and often hyped as a sort of zenith in one’s life, it’s easy to see being able to customize things exactly to the way you’re having them play out in your head as really alluring.
And, once the hype dies down or we get used to the novel aspects, all the things you mentioned with get greater focus in the general attention, again, and people will likely value those things more (because, ultimately, you’re not wrong).
But I do feel like this is a pretty consistent phenomenon with almost any trend and you always see an uptick of adopters because the ability to solve some pain points is novel.
When we were picking out a photographer for our wedding, we heard a piece of advice that had stuck with me over the years. Which was to think of wedding photos as an appreciating asset that gets more valuable over time.
You can look at your photos the week after the wedding and they might not seem all that special. The memories are still fresh and not much has changed. But then when you look at them on your 10th or 20th anniversary , it brings up those memories you had forgotten about. It reminds you of happy times with friends and relatives that might be dead now. Fast forward to 50 years later and those pictures might be the most priceless thing that you have.
So yeah… AI photos might fill that Instagram need of modern weddings, but long-term feel completely worthless. Hoping this story is fake as well, but wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some truth to it.
Brides paying for that is the real problem, not the fact that anon photographer is profiting off it.
I make their weddings look like their pinterest dreams, they can look as skinny and hot as they want
The only folks who are losing anything here are photoshoppers.
