A newcomer to generative AI posted on Reddit expressing surprise at how 'dead' the field's community looks:
- Searching YouTube for ComfyUI tutorials yields mostly AI-generated videos with 2k views
- The Stable Diffusion Discord is nearly inactive
- The author notes generative AI is a complex craft, yet getting into it feels like joining the most niche, worthless activity
The post sparked discussion about the shifting state of the open-source generative AI community.
