I'm already quite sceptical of AI image generation. I'm cautious of the way it seems to flippantly skirt around (or entirely ignore) copyright, and I worry about the negative feedback loop of replacing artists from making art. Caution is important to practice, especially now that red_panda, a brand-new image-generation tool, has just been spotted on a site dedicated to voting for the best AI and rocked straight up to the top of the leaderboards.
As reported by TechCrunch, a site called Artificial Analysis has a section called "Arena" that allows users to vote between two images on which fits a given prompt best—the two images being generated by different AI image generation models.
