Copyright issues aside, can we talk about how this implies accurate recall of an image from a never before achievable data compression ratio? If these models can actually recall the images they have been fed this could be a quantum leap in compression technology.
Holy shit I didn't even think about that.
Essentially the model is compressing the image into a prompt.
Instead of the bitmap being 8MB being condensed down into whatever the jpeg equivalent is, it's still more than a text file with that exact prompt that gave.
But it's not deterministic.
I mean, that randomness is just faked. Keep a consistent seed and you’ll get consistent results.
