Comment on OpenAI's move to allow generating "Ghibly stlye" images isn't just a cute PR stunt. It is an expression of dominance and the will to reject and refuse democratic values. It is a display of power

All diffusion and language models are autoregressive. That just means that the output is fed back in as input until the task is complete.

With diffusion models this means that it is fed an image that is 100% noise and it removes some small percentage of the noise and then then the denoised image is fed back in and another small percentage is removed. This is repeated until a defined stopping points (usually a set number of passes).

Combining images and using one image to control the generation of another has been available for quite a while. Controlnet and IPAdapters let you do exactly that: ‘Put this coat on this person’ or ‘Take this picture and do it in this style’. Here’s an 11 month old YouTube video explaining how to do this using open source models and software: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmwZGC8UVHE

It’s nice for non-technical people that OpenAI will sell you a subscription in order to access an agent that can perform these kinds of image generation abilities, but it’s not doing anything new in terms of image generation.
