Huge downgrade in image quality

I don’t know if any of you have the same problem but there’s been a huge downgrade in image quality at least for my use case, I used to feed it clothes to generate on models and it only generates washed up images where you can clearly see it’s AI, it used to sometimes show up before when they sometimes generated 2 images and asked you which one was better but now it’s the only model that ever shows up

Welcome to the community @Nitro1,

Could you share the exact prompt you’re using and whether you’re generating through Chat or Work? Has your prompt or workflow changed since you were getting the earlier results?

Are you also describing how you’d like the person wearing the clothes to look? You can specify their appearance, hairstyle, expression, and pose, along with the photographic style for example, natural skin texture, softer lighting and minimal retouching. Maybe you’re already doing that?

You can read more here, if you already haven’t:

I confirm. Starting today, I’m getting only that terrible image generation model, the one that previously appeared only as an alternative second option when asked to vote. Please bring back the previous model

It’s not just you, so take solace in that - for whatever it’s worth. It’s clearly affecting a lot of users, myself include, and has brought my productivity and work to a grinding halt. It doesn’t matter what kind of image I prompt, what prompt I use - the results all have the same, out-dated, clearly AI-looking aesthetic, which becomes all the more obvious when trying to generate images that look like live-action cinematography or photography.

Also, for everyone involved in this thread who are experiencing the exact same issue - check out this more recent thread:

I know people are sometimes gun-shy about sharing their prompts, especially those like me who work in a professional space and their prompts are part of their value as a AI creative (I know, it sounds weird to me too) - but in this thread I share an example prompt, showcasing the same issue experienced here. You can see a back and forth to try and explore other solutions, but ultimately, as of writing this, the issue seems to be an across-the-board situation effecting many users, with no immediate work around present.
