They all have their place. OpenAI literally started every major AI revolution including image gen with DALL-E. Let them be the peleton while SD and others follow closely and overtake eventually.

I like painting them as the peleton! You're not wrong it's just not super exciting for me
What's a peleton? Genuine question from a non native English speaker.
I think they mean peloton. It's not English, I believe it is French, meaning a group of bicyclers. In this context it refers to the peloton leading the race.+-
there has a to be a way to link the API from automatic1111 and a "gpt" or "bert" model, to allow similar flexibility, right? The only issue i see is training the llm on the rules of image composition correlated to what CLIP/Deepbooru sees. maybe there will be a leak, or someone can convince one of the "AI Art example/display" sites to give them a dump of images with all metadata. enough of that and this sort of thing seems like a "gimme".
I just started training LoRA, and the lack of definitive information is a burden; but following the commonalities in all of the guides i was able to get a LoRA to model a person i know, extremely accurately, about 1/8th of the time. in my experience, getting a "5 star" image 12% of the time is outstanding. And when i say 1/8th i mean i ran off 100 images, and hand ranked the ones that actually used the LoRA correctly, and 4 and 5 star ranks were 21/100 - i just double checked my numbers!
Especially with DALL-E. Honestly I'd be more excited if MidJourney released something new. DALL-E was the first but, in my experience, the lower-quality option. It felt like a toy, MidJourney felt like a top-tier product akin to Photoshop Express on mobile, still limited but amazing results every time, and Stable Diffusion feels like photoshop allowing endless possibilities locally without restrictions except it's FREE!
