== Open Source Dilemma ==

Like OpenAI’s pre-3.0 GPT models, Diffusion’s open-source nature and methods used to create such models means that, unlike DALL-E or Midjourney, it is here to stay. The above-mentioned Checkpoints wouldn’t exist had it not been for their open nature. While we understand artists’ concerns, as the founder of this wiki, Tony Bark, is one himself, there is not much he can do. He argued that OpenAI opened Pandora’s box a long time ago with GPT, and their attempt to close the source 3.0 for “safety concerns,” while noble, was too little too late.

Despite Bark’s own creativity, his art skills, while evolving every day, only go so far at the moment, and he needs help. He uses generative art for visualizing ideas and creating concept art that would have previously taken years.
