FLUX vs. MidJourney - Round 3


FLUX Realism LoRA


MidJourney Version 6.1

Comparing the new FLUX Realism LoRA with the well-established MidJourney Version 6.1. In this test, the prompt specifies "A disc jockey playing records at a radio station."

FLUX Realism LoRA did the most accurate image. MidJourney went for a club-style disc jockey and seemed to ignore the "radio station" part. Also, MidJourney went more for an illustration, while FLUX went more photorealistic. Both were good images in general, but it gets interesting when you don't define what kind of image you want, be it photo or illustration.

Come back next time for another test, when I go back to trying non-people images.

Channels and Rooms with message mirroring are:

#daily-theme <-> Daily Theme
#prompt-craft <-> Prompt Craft
#⁠general-1 <-> General Chaos
#superusers-create <-> Superusers (for people with at least 1000 images)

FLUX vs. MidJourney - Round 2


FLUX Realism LoRA


MidJourney Version 6.1

Comparing the new FLUX Realism LoRA with the well-established MidJourney Version 6.1. In this test, the prompt specifies "few cars yellow, racing, urban black-white city, skyscrapers, smoke, drive, comics style, black-white."

FLUX Realism LoRA isn't as detailed as the image from MidJourney. But, FLUX is doing a great job when it comes to people. That is certainly its specialty. But, given that FLUX is brand new, it is commendable that it can do images outside of its primary focus.

Come back next time for another test, when we try out more people images.

Creating Life Like Images with FLUX Realism LoRA



Article: Viral Flux AI images look terrifyingly real - Creative Bloq

Realistic Artificial Intelligence Images are getting more real every day. Now, FLUX Realism LoRA is trying to take it one step further. Its images of people are especially realistic. Everyone has been wondering when we could reach that singlularity where computer-generated images and photos become indistinguishable from each other.

Market Psychology - When Investors Get What They Want



Article: Stocks hammered after this week's labor data shows investors treating 'bad news as bad news' - Yahoo! Finance

"The Markets Are Treating Bad News As Bad News Again." The pure insanity of "Market Psychology." Everyone wanted unemployment to go up and jobs to do down. You got it. And, so the market goes down a lot. Make up your minds, people.

The United States is purely about credit, about buying things without the money to pay for them. That's why the National Debt is at insane levels. That's why credit card debt is so high. People buying stuff so they can show other people "how much money they have." It's a pure house of cards that, as always, will come right down.
