How It Started vs How It's Going: GANs to Diffusion Models

GAN vs Stable Diffusion

Past few months have been trailblazing for Generative AI, but itโ€™s also fascinating how far we have come along with LLMs and diffusion models. Above is my very basic CNN-based generative adversarial network (GAN) from 2019 trying to draw a house after 1200 epochs compared to a pre-trained Stable Diffusion model from SageMaker JumpStart with no fine tuning and default inference parameters.
