Random Seeds Not Active

[ashen perch]

Hey, I've noticed quite a few of my exact creations getting duplicated, with virtually every pixel identical.

This obviously only happens when prompt text isn't altered and the same style is employed. it seems to me as though seeds aren't being randomly designated, or the pool of seeds used is FAR too small.

I've noticed this across all 3 of my V2 styles. Haven't seen it in the V1's, but also haven't tested it, so I'm not sure if V1 is impacted or not.

Hope this can get fixed so we don't need to start hiding prompts, en masse.

LMK if you'd like to see examples.

Have you checked that the same seeds were drawn?

Happened to me on 2 creations too, someone got 100 % same image, was also wondering if i have to start to hide prompts???

[gentle musk]

I used to hide the prompt but it doesn't bother me anymore. It's actually nice because if someone copies it means they like it, maybe they'll learn something. I hide it when a cool picture comes out and according to the prompt it was supposed to be something completely different.

Wise answer, it shocked me first, because 100 % same was weird, but I do enjoy that people rebounce ( my fav is when someone got a theme, not related to the daylie contest, and it goes boom...🤣 , many get inspired...👍 ). Anyway, I will stay open prompted, but as y said, when something is differently rendered from prompt, but image nice, i'll hide (or if it feels too personnal-. creative research purpose irl).

i don't see a way to view the seed used. I've checked the app, and both desktop and mobile browser versions. no seed is presented.

would they be visible in developer view?

if you'd like to check, here is an example.
mine:

duplicates (i didn't publish the first image, but it, along with all 3 others, are exact duplicates)

i don't mind people copying prompts. i leave mine public because i want them to be used and enhanced to foster creativity. what i mind is exact replicas being duplicated, then employed to compete in challenges.

if the settings after publishing are not hidden then I can see the seed of other people's creations. If you can't see it then maybe only the pro user can see it. The pro user can set the seed which means that he can copy another user's creation.

I only see them in the app

sorry but I don't see the seed, you'd have to ask the developer

seed is visible only when someone uses initial image

ok. are these bug report not sufficient for getting bugs amended? do i just create a ticket directly somehow?

[gentle musk]

dev is checking in here but I don't know which bugs are being fixed. Probably the ones that prevent proper operation first, they have higher priority.
