The unattainable peak of art: why does Midjourney artificial intelligence draw 6 fingers on its hands and how can this be fixed?

Why does artificial intelligence (AI) depict strange hands? This topic, like everything related to

neural networks have become very relevant and causeThere are a lot of questions, so we need to sort this all out once and for all. Because only the lazy didn’t try to “play” with Midjourney or DALL-E. The photos they create in a matter of minutes quickly found their audience. What can we talk about if entire communities of 100+ thousand people are being created who share their works created with the help of AI.

It's all gone so far that the artists onArtstation, which is the largest portal for artists, has gone on strike against AI to label images that are not made by humans. For some, this all may remind the events of the game Detroit: Become Human, when humanity opposed smart androids, who were better than people in everything and replaced them in many areas of life. From drivers to professional athletes. Therefore, the debate around neural networks does not subside, and already now some have begun to seriously think about whether AI can replace people in various professions already in our world, and not in the game?

But let's return to the topic with hands.Why can’t AI display fingers correctly, what influences this? Perhaps because even people find it difficult to draw hands? Or the problem is an insufficient database on which artificial intelligence relies. What if we demand too much from AI? In fact, all of the above and even the result is influenced by human psychology. Therefore the editorsggfigured it out and will tell you why the so-called Midjourney has a problem with the generation of human limbs.

First, what is Midjourney and similar instruments?

Midjourney &#8211; it's independenta research laboratory that develops an artificial intelligence program of the same name that creates images from text descriptions. Images are created using a special chatbot in Discord. The tool is currently in open beta testing, which began on July 12, 2022. Popular analogs of Midjourney are DALL-E and Stable Diffusion. The principle of operation is very similar for all. The only difference is the style and level of AI development.
