  • Thank you so much!! Summit is a wonderful client but I’ve been keeping an eye in the other open source clients hoping to switch. Now I’ll stay with Summit.

    I appreciate you being clear about not accepting PRs. I’ve never run an OSS project but I know it can be full of stress to manage a community. But having the source available gives me the confidence that if you ever get bored and move on, a community can develop to continue the project.

    Thanks again for all your hard work and building a great piece of software!! 😃


  • It doesn’t really bother me, but like you I am bored of it and I generally ignore it, or block communities if I’m seeing too much of it.

    It is really cool that the models can generate fairly detailed images, but they’re all so similar and… boring. I once saw someone describe it like corporate art. It just tries to imitate something popular in a very mediocre way. You can keep re-training it, but it can still only imitate.

    Still, if people are into it then that’s ok too. I have used it at work on occasion to create stupid little icons for internal tools I’ve built, so I guess there’s some little bit of utility.

    My guess is that it’ll be used for a while for cheap and low effort branding, but soon companies will want to hire real artists again to differentiate themselves from the ML spam.
