I find that the images I generate using AI that I like the most get the lowest vote scores, while the ones that I am even ambivalent about posting get the highest scores.
Examples: These two (Despair & Colors) were my most intimate ones. They are reflections of internal experiences I’ve had my whole life, followed by decades of introspection to imagine these images. They also took me the most work to generate, and if anyone in MS is reviewing what I make, they might be concerned with how hard I worked to make these and the troubling prompts I used. Anyway, I posted them immediately after generating them because I thought they were great. Still, they only have a score of 28 and 36, respectively.
On the other hand, I sat on posting the Electric Slide for a day or two, yet it was the best received with a vote score of 166. The He-Moon I was almost certain was going to be in the negatives, yet it has a score of 150. Both of these probably took 15 mins max each to generate, but are my top scoring images. We can argue that humorous ones will likely be better received, but the humorous ones I like the most did not score anywhere near as much. Drahkermit still makes me laugh (lol), yet has a score of 48.
Anyone else, or am I alone on this? Also, do you have any relevant insight to share?
Btw, I’m not critiquing anyone or complaining at all. I don’t really care for my scores other than to assess how others liked them for guidance on what to post. I’m really just trying to figure out why this phenomenon is occurring and why. I find it curious that there is an apparent mismatch, and I think it would be an insightful lesson for me to help understand things better :)
Note: The scores noted here are what I saw at the time I posted this.
I think you’re putting too much emphasis on these scores. I notice myself that I liked your two higher score ones, and not the others. For whatever reason I never ended up seeing the others. Now, what matters to me and I think a lot of others here is the sharing of the content. Look at your average between all those. For Lemmy, you get great average engagement for just straight image posts. If thats what you are after you are doing great.
Thank you for the response! I agree that the scores don’t truly matter. What I’m wondering is why there is a mismatch in what I appreciate and what the community as a whole appreciates. I guess another way of asking is, “Am I different, and if so, how?”
Oh, that I don’t know how to answer. But you cook up cool stuff regardless so I would just take Princess Bubblegum’s advice: “People get built different, we don’t have to understand it. We just have to accept it.”
