    I feel like the cat is way out of the bag on this. Stable diffusion can be run locally. Hugging Face has over 15,000 models labelled with text to image generation.

      I’m sure there will be (or already are) Trump and Biden Loras.

        If not the two of them are so public that it would take a bad actor no time at all to train one.

        What do you need, 20 pics.

      I guess it’s a matter of increasing the friction to making one. This will slightly decrease the number of them?

      Or they just don’t want to be associated with it

    That’s nice, but without a law and some kind of real enforcement, nothing is going to change.

    Fun fact: Midjourney bans images of genocidal dictator Xi Jinping, but not other world leaders.

    All well and good for text prompts but Midjourney lets you upload an image and modify it, or smash two images together. Are their filters going to detect trump and biden’s faces in those images? Not sure AI is there yet.

      Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

      What about videos of Biden and Trump eating spaghetti?

      Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
