The headline and the heavy promotional verbiage on the site seems to be claiming this is some new functionality we didn’t have before. Image2image with text instructions isn’t new as the headline implies.

InvokeAI (and a few other projects as well) already does all this stuff much better unless I’m missing something. There are plenty of stable diffusion wrappers. Why not help improve them instead of copying them?

I’m not against having enthusiasm for one’s project, but tell us why this is different and please don’t pretend the other projects don’t have this stuff.

I'm not aware of any pre-existing open-source model that selectively edits images (leaving some parts untouched) based on instructions. This new method is much better than the image2image that shipped with the original stable diffusion. I'm looking at the InvokeAI docs right now and don't see anything like this feature. We previously had smart-masks, but InstructPix2Pix mostly does away with the need for those as well.

If I am mistaken please provide links to these prior features.
