Famous faces...? (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 month ago by zmkart@lemmy.world to c/perchance@lemmy.world

Ok,I get that this thing has been "reset" and no longer recognises famous faces (I didn't realise a law had been passed to not use them btw)...So,just a simple question...is this something that in time will get back to where we were a few weeks ago on the previous version,where it would recognise famous faces instantly or is there now something built into this model that prohibits it from doing that?...trying to recreate famous people on this new version (if that's your thing) via prompts is fairly soul-destroying...just seem to keep getting the exact same face.

Users falling...? (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 months ago by zmkart@lemmy.world to c/perchance@lemmy.world

Just looked at the stats & I see that the users have dropped from 111 to 69 this week...i've been away for a week and was hoping things may have improved on here in that time - they haven't - still painfully slow,still a lot worse than the previous version...not good.

Personally speaking It's become useless to me..whether that will change in 6 months,who knows?..just feels like it's gone backwards..what happens if we all get used to this version then he decides to "upgrade" it again & we're back to square one?..sometimes new isn't always better.

Any suggestions?..I don't mind if they're paid for sites/apps.

"Celebrities"...? (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 months ago by zmkart@lemmy.world to c/perchance@lemmy.world

Why is it not recognising celebrity/famous names when trying to input them into the prompt box?...I did type in "Taylor Swift" yesterday (simply because she's so well known) & after waiting an age got something resembling her,but just tried "River Phoenix" and got firstly a woman then an actual phoenix...is this because the whole thing has started from scratch?

The thing is it's taking SO long to wait for just 2 images that i'm not prepared to wait just to see how wrong it is...the old version would create dozens of images in seconds.

I'm guessing it's cost money to make these changes BUT if I had a website that users absolutely loved then changed it and "most" users hated those changes,i'd change it back in an instant..."the customer is always right" (D-Fens).

That is what it feels like...feels like it's been deliberately sabotaged because it was so good.

[-] zmkart@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Have to agree with you...i'd happily pay for the old version...I used to come on here every day to create...now I only come on to read the comments...alas people very rarely (if ever) listen to the "customer",they just plough on regardless afraid of admitting to a mistake.

[-] zmkart@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Have to agree,I despise (and despair) at what's been done to this site...what on earth has happened to "50s enamel sign" for instance?!...the celeb face issue & coma-inducing speed is the worst part for me...if creating random fluffy animals is your thing then great,but for me it's become useless.

[-] zmkart@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Same here,used to spend far too much time on here tbh,literally "simply" creating 1000s of images of what I wanted (in seconds) - now that's all gone...it's become slow & overcomplicated...it's not worth the effort anymore...why not give users both options?

[-] zmkart@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I'm starting to give up on using this site now - used to create loads of "celeb" images,have just for example typed in "stephanie beacham" using "no style" and after waiting an eternity i'm given 4 images of random women standing on a beach - tried "black pontiac transam" last night & got a random car - what is the point in making the site worse??..it was so simple to use & now seems that you need a degree in english lit to get anything nowhere near resembling what you want. #baffling

[-] zmkart@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I know...I feel like crying at what's happened to the site,lol.

[-] zmkart@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Wish we'd been told it was going to get updated for the worse - I would've "stockpiled" a load of images I was happily creating on the previous version - can't see me using this at all anymore.

[-] zmkart@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Hate to "overreact" but let's be honest - it's been wrecked!...I just don't understand the thinking behind the update,it didn't need improving...why would anyone make it a 100 times worse?...I pray that they listen & revert to the old system.

I'm gutted at what's happened to this site...for me it was arguably the best website i've ever used in 25+ years of using the internet...such a shame...I really hope that just for once somebody listens to the complaints & puts things back as they were,otherwise it's useless to me.

[-] zmkart@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Here's hoping you can come up with something resembling what once was on here - this update has wrecked this site.
