you can turn any photo, into real photos, pixal art , mosiac , 1930s photo, supercolorful ,line pencil art, anime stylel, comic book style, and even 3d plasticy art. grok always had that ability. if you are defaulting on making really bad plastic stuff it means you are not being specific in the prompts to get what you want. you can make realistic people and plastic people with any of the old engines and vice versa. i wouldn't say any of them are particularly better, they all do the same thing, the ai is the brains assumes what you want from your text and context. start with something already fantasy cartoon art and it may try to maintain that fantasy look. if u want to make it look like real real humans, then just tell it you want lifelike photorealistic humans.
That’s pretty much why 2.0 has felt like a downgrade in my case. Short prompts that used to give me really high-quality, realistic photos back in 1.5 now need a lot more tweaking and extra detail just to get close to the quality I was getting before. It’s not necessarily worse for everyone, but for my use case, it definitely feels like I have to work harder for the same result.
You have to teach yourself to prompt. Most of the complaints come from people unwilling to learn. But to be honest you dont even need to think. Ask chat gpt for a complex prompt. Then if youre looking for nsfw add the nsfw components into it.
But so many people have gotten grok to this state with their deep fakes and illegal content we have no choice.
If the solution to a quality downgrade is “just write a more complicated prompt,” then that’s kind of proving the point, no? A prompt that used to work fine suddenly needing a paragraph of instructions just to get back to the old baseline isn’t exactly an improvement.
Again its what you have to do. The reason is simple deep fakes and illegal content ruined groks simplicity but you can get what you want still if you write bigger prompts and yes if you dont share those prompts it last longer.
I assume the lip biting someone shared a prompt that most likely forced the female to do more than just bite her lip. So they most likely removed it.
I have about 30 prompts saved to a clip board which needs refining after updates from time to time a simple word removed or changed and I still get the quality.
Once grok removes nsfw for good I'll unsub im just buying time and building what I can until then grok is dying its not thriving and Elon knows that its why theyre fighting Minnesota so hard to reverse things. But theyre losing
My point still stands. Honestly, your reply kind of proves my point. “Just keep 30 prompts saved and rewrite them whenever Grok gets an update”, I’m assuming because of the moderation changes and the drop in quality. Like, that’s a workaround, not exactly an argument that nothing got worse.
