Still trying to figure out why this new version can't recognise famous faces?..have just tried asking for Dolly Parton..it obviously knows who i'm on about as the outfit & hairstyle are exactly like hers (without any prompts from me btw)...but I keep on getting the same female face that keeps appearing on every person i'm trying to recreate,no matter how much facial detail I put in...is there some sort of fault with this new version?..or is there something blocking users from getting the results they want...How did the old version know how to create images of anyone famous (or even not that famous)..did it search the internet & come up with suggestions?...can't this new version do that?

Anyone know what the issue is with this site at the moment...been trying to generate text from image uploads for a few days but keep getting an error message.

Here's hoping...just feels like it's gone beyond backwards on the celeb side of things...have tried & tried to recreate the faces i'm after but as I said previously,just keep on getting the same female face time after time (wish i'd stocked up on creating on the previous version)...the site is great for creating random images but has become pretty much useless if you're tying to create images "based" on famous faces (even obscure actors).

So how come so many people on here say it's "not legal" whenever anyone mentions it?...Ok,so hopefully sooner rather than later this updated version will get back to being somewhere as good as it used to be...?

 

Ok,I get that this thing has been "reset" and no longer recognises famous faces (I didn't realise a law had been passed to not use them btw)...So,just a simple question...is this something that in time will get back to where we were a few weeks ago on the previous version,where it would recognise famous faces instantly or is there now something built into this model that prohibits it from doing that?...trying to recreate famous people on this new version (if that's your thing) via prompts is fairly soul-destroying...just seem to keep getting the exact same face.

Agree,I find some of the responses to fans of the old version quite condescending & ignorant...not very classy.

Here here...the new version is a poor relation of the old...but we seem to be stuck with it.

Not according to the stats on the bottom right of the page.

 

Just looked at the stats & I see that the users have dropped from 111 to 69 this week...i've been away for a week and was hoping things may have improved on here in that time - they haven't - still painfully slow,still a lot worse than the previous version...not good.

Seems daft if there's some sort of ban on using/recognising "celebrity" faces..inevitable that at some point they'll find their way back onto the system so why not just put it back to how it was before this wretched update.

In the meantime how many who loved the old version are going to give up on this new version - the incredibly slow waiting speeds for images to generate & over complicated way of using this version (compared to the simplicity of the previous version) are very off putting...am I better off coming back in 6 months (or longer)...?

Fair enough - I hate to complain but for me the site was perfect as it was - if in 6 months it's as good as it was then great - but it's a long time to wait though to get back to where we were!

Yes but it's not just the fact that it no longer recognises "celebs",it's the fact that some of the old styles are nothing like they were - tintin comic,franco/belgian comic,50s enamel sign,vintage comic,vintage pulp art etc etc are now Nothing like they were or are anywhere near as good..how is this progress?..surely these styles should've stayed as they were even if there is some sort of new engine running this site.

 

Any suggestions?..I don't mind if they're paid for sites/apps.

 

Why is it not recognising celebrity/famous names when trying to input them into the prompt box?...I did type in "Taylor Swift" yesterday (simply because she's so well known) & after waiting an age got something resembling her,but just tried "River Phoenix" and got firstly a woman then an actual phoenix...is this because the whole thing has started from scratch?

 

I'm gutted at what's happened to this site...for me it was arguably the best website i've ever used in 25+ years of using the internet...such a shame...I really hope that just for once somebody listens to the complaints & puts things back as they were,otherwise it's useless to me.
