> Art isn't an easier problem than math

Not sure. Art is about approximate pattern recognition and if you have a large enough dataset it seems that you can definitely reproduce some of that.

For math... it involves consistent reasoning from A to Z - which does not allow for any kind of mistake in the way. In Art you won't feel too bad if the shadows or the lights are a little weird or if a character has 7 fingers instead of 5 on one hand, but this kind of mishaps break everything in Math.

Fingers are already mostly solved. The latest models draw hands better than most human artists.

I think artists would disagree with your assessment of 'approximate pattern recognition'. Its more like:

1. Given a set of words describing what the user wants. 2. Arrange pixels in a grid 3. That maximizes the user rating

On one hand it is tolerant of small errors. On the other hand its an extremely broad problem. Also to get a good user rating, it has to do 99 things right for every 1 thing it draws wrong.

Well this thing about fingers, etc in drawings. Lets put it this way - for us mere mortals the generative images look very much okay. To artists and people who actually draw something, well ... they very often spot inconsistencies in the whole production, including how fingers, arms, overall body posture, etc is presented. So it is exactly what we can expect - good enough on average, but actually a mediocre result of commonality. Thing is the wide audience chews in mediocrity all the time, and nobody seems to have been able to change this for ages...

It's a weighted average over the prompts and data. Mediocrity is exactly what we'd expect from such an approach.

Now, if we end up seeing mastery, that would be extremely interesting.

No no, you see I prompted the AI with "masterpiece, photorealistic, 35 mm photography, cinematic, dslr, volumetric lighting, trending on artstation, 4k, 8k, hyper-detailed, epic digital painting by Greg Rutkowski" /s

This is a very mediocre understanding of deep learning :)

What else is it then? Basically all statistical models are weighted averages. I'm not sure why deep learning would be any different.

Using controlnet fixes all of these problems and makes it where even real artists won’t be able to tell AI art apart from real art.
