The team published a blog post in Japanese to explain how it all works, while scrambling to hire friends to translate their Twitter and Discord posts. A similar storm gathered around storytelling AI company NovelAI, which launched an image generator on October 3; Twitter rumors rapidly circulated that it was simply ripping human-drawn illustrations from the internet. Virginia Hilton, NovelAI’s community manager, told Rest of World that she thought the outrage had to do with how accurately the AI could imitate anime styles. One of the catalysts is Stable Diffusion, a competitor to the AI Art News model Dall-E, which hit the market on August 22. Stability AI is open-source, which means that, unlike Dall-E, engineers can train the model on any image data set to churn out almost any style of art they desire — no beta invite or subscription needed.
