I've noticed something interesting about the Flux model—one of its standout features for me is the way it produces unique faces and anatomies, aside from the occasional cleft chin. In the past, it was easy to identify AI-generated images at a glance, even before scrutinizing the hands or other imperfections, just by recognizing the distinct "1girl" face. Fortunately, with Flux, this issue seems to be partly resolved.
However, while browsing Civitai today, I observed that many NSFW LoRas are generating faces and body parts that look almost identical to those produced by Pony Realism and SDXL models. And here's the kicker—I downloaded a dataset from one of these LoRas, and the training images were actually generated by Pony. Now, don't get me wrong—I have nothing against Pony. I've had a lot of fun using it, and it's brilliantly fine-tuned for its purpose.
But as an average user experimenting and having fun with generative AI, I can't help but wonder if we're heading towards a situation where these LoRas get merged into Flux models, and then other models get merged based on those, and so on. You see where I'm going with this, right? It's the same cycle we've seen with many SD 1.5, SDXL, and Pony merges.
Again, this is just my observation, and since I'm not a professional in this area, I'd love to hear your thoughts and predictions. What do you think?
