Just to be clear right off the bat, I DESPISE this change.

Pros:

1. Generated images can be very realistic and of high quality.
2. New image size is available.

Cons:

1. Generates different people with different facial features every time, there’s no consistency, no matter how many different prompts or entire sentences were provided.
2. Even after trying to avoid weird, deformed images one’ll get a few straight-up ugly as sin or absurd images in between a number of generations. I swear I’d never get anything even close to being “ugly” with the previous model, unless I prompted something like ‘Cursed photo’.
3. The model can’t draw any resemblance to celeb faces anymore, even if one tries, it generates a random face.
4. The amount of time it takes to generate now is around 3x longer, sometimes it just fails and retries.

Lastly, the previous model, which had been in use for over a year, was replaced overnight, like literally. All the prompts that everyone had created over so long and with care, suddenly became meaningless. I had to create an account just to check if it’s only my pain that I’ve to bear.
