Now we can generate one in a few seconds that has never existed jsuf by touching our phone in the right places a few times

TeChNicAlLy it sort of already existed. A diffusion model can only generate an impossibly huge but finite number of images, and the content of these images is determined when the model is created. So when you 'generate' images you're kinda just browsing a catalog

That's not correct. It allows permutations of concepts it has "identified". It's only finite in the sense of being limited by the number of pixels and possible color values.

This is far from what "browsing a catalog" makes it sound like. It's almost correct if you consider the catalogue as a collection of concepts. But it is literally generating an image based on a prompt that projects those concepts to an image. You can generate something with a combination of concepts, mixed together in a way that were never part of any training set

It doesn't do a perfect job, but I also spent 2 minutes on this.
