Thanks for the time lapse!If you don't know, images start out as "noise" basically. Aside from that initial noise, in each step the AI uses the output of the last step and "does its thing" to try to create a modified output matching its interpretation of your prompt and other settings.
I made a couple grids (using X/Y plot script) to give an idea of the progression. This is really inefficient because each image is made from scratch, but I don't know how to direct the tool to save the product of intermediate steps. Anyway, prompt, seed, etc are the same for all images, the only thing that changes is the number of steps:
You can kind of follow the progression as the number of steps increases.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
From what I understand, the ideal number or range of steps varies based on the Sampling Method.
As to why things get weird with "too many" steps, I can't really give a technical explanation. My understanding is that once it reaches a certain point, further "tweaks" start to compound and spin out of control. I think of it like carving something from a block of stone or wood. At some point you're only gonna make things worse by removing more material. Whereas here, each step reduces noise/randomness/entropy.
How do you tell the AI to stop doing dumb shit, like always censoring the male PP despite putting like 5 variations of 'censored penis' in the negative prompt? I noticed that you repeat your negative prompts like 3 times each?
If you change the prompt or other inputs (sample steps) in the middle of generating the pics, what does that do?
