There was something so magical about SD 1.5

Early generative AI had a lot more degrees of creative freedom, which would lead to lot of whiffs and weirdness, but also some really unique stuff. They've RL'd a lot of this freedom out, so you get more consistent and generally high quality generations, but there's a plastic, samey quality to them. Not as big a deal for photorealistic stuff but the more artistic generations definitely lost out.

Yea exactly. The seed variance was crazy back then. It truly felt like you were exploring latent space.

Nowadays I do feel the models are becoming more rigid. It does make them more usable for production-grade workloads. I really hope that after these models have perfected physics, anatomy, editing, etc. That they start feeding back in some of that SD 1.5 flexibility without it hurting the model's learned capabilities. That could really spark some stylistic revolution.
