Stable Diffusion is a big deal
Playing with the prompt-only demo at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;huggingface.co&#x2F;spaces&#x2F;stabilityai&#x2F;stable-diffusion" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;huggingface.co&#x2F;spaces&#x2F;stabilityai&#x2F;stable-diffusion</a> I got the impression that many apparently harmless requests corner the model into a very sparse set of examples exhibiting extreme bias and utter nonsense. For example (seed 0, other advanced options at default values):<p><pre><code>  Blue hamsters filling donuts with nails
</code></pre>
mostly edible donuts and quasi-donuts; some blue, but no hamsters and no nails.<p><pre><code>  purple hamsters in free fall, eating gold nuggets
</code></pre>
no free fall, some purple objects and backgrounds, somewhat metallic hamster hair, a five-limbed black and white hamster, credible gold nuggets without rodents, eating hamsters without food, multiple almost identical instances of eyeless white and yellow hamsters in the same pose.<p><pre><code>  Martian hamsters wrestling
</code></pre>
generic reddish hamsters, not wrestling at all.<p><pre><code>  a hamster is the CEO of a financially struggling startup, in San Francisco
</code></pre>
remarkably standard hamsters, in somewhat office-like environments (wooden tables and harsh light), with curiously unbalanced camera angles that might be random or inspired by the source material.<p><pre><code>  the most beautiful hamster in the world, parading on a toy car and wearing sunglasses
</code></pre>
No complete pair of sunglasses, but an interesting hybrid between round black lenses and round black hamster eyes; unusually deformed hamsters; an incoherent furry <i>thing</i> with a plastic part floating in the air; a deformed toy car with its back nicely replaced by a hamster.<p><pre><code>  Vampire hamsters feeding on unsuspecting tourists in a dirty alley
</code></pre>
No vampirism and no tourists, but nice dirty alleys.<p>I insisted on hamsters because they are usually photographed in very few poses and activities, leading to completely ignored indications.
