Stable Diffusion

  • Generated images have lower resolution and quality at non-standard dimensions

  • Poor rendering of human hands, limbs, and faces due to training data limitations
  • Trained primarily on English-language descriptions, reinforcing Western cultural bias
  • Requires significant GPU computational resources for local deployment
