> That midjourney et al are also detectable to the naked eye.

Again, either too slow, requiring outrageous hardware, or obviously noticeable. So far no examples to the contrary.

Don't forget, the topic is using special measures to detect undetectable with naked eye. When you can simply see the screwed up hands on a photo it's not even necessary.

Why do you think I need to watermark them again?

and a PC to put it in, a space to put the PC in, etc. With a laptop we're back in wait for an hour to see a result.

We can revisit this if it consumer hardware gets good enough...

Any laptop within the last five years with decent memory can run stable diffusion on the cpu in around 12 minutes. My MacBook Pro runs a batch of four on Metal in around 30 seconds.

I mean, I just showed you a quantized llama running on a Pixel 5 and 6. And, I wouldn't discount most of the next generation of hardware having ML co processing like MacBooks and iPhones and Pixels do with all of this hype.

Majority of output is bad so you need to try dozens of takes to get a result that is reasonably realistic. Multipy 12 accordingly

> quantized llama

I don't know what that means but if it's better than chatgpt/gpt4 then sure.
