misuse/misleading name

One space named MidJourney, one named DALLE-4K, is it possible to use more accurate / descriptive names?

Hi @paccer !

📍If you consider like that, thousands of spaces running with misleading names, do you think they are actually using MidJourney v6 or DALL-E 3 models? Both are types of computer vision (text-to-image) generators.So many spaces have these common name. Here, Nvidia A100 HCP running spaces like DALLE 4K and MidJourney have quick names, just kept for a trend. These names replicate the functionalities of the actual models, and that's it.

📍And there is no Code of Conduct for the names of Space, Model, Datasets with correct names & there is only for serious violation of 'Not-for-all-Audiences' invariant names, Which you have mentioned " misuse/misleading name"

📍Still you have any issues with it, kindly add discussions below! .

what model is this actually based on?

@sirbob23460
--RealVisXL_V4.0-- , you can see that in linked models of the current running space /in the README.md

As my comment and @sirbob23460 highlighted, the current names are misleading and make it unclear to users (the readme is not presented when visiting the space, and there is no clarification or mention on the space itself).

While some other spaces misuse names like "MidJourney" and "DALLE" (not 1000s, and with fewer users), that doesn’t justify it. It still confuses and misleads users about the technology being used. Your spaces are popular and set an example, so they should take responsibility for clear and honest naming.

If your spaces use RealVisXL_V4.0 / Stable Diffusion, and/or mimic the style of another product, please reflect that in the name or, at the very least, present the information in the space (e.g., simply adding "based on/Inspired by MidJourney, made with RealVisXL_V4.0 using Stable Diffusion" to the space).

Even if "other users are doing it" and "there's no rule against it", I still find it unethical. Accurate and descriptive information serves everyone better.

Your response suggests your main concern is popularity, and while I believe both accuracy and popularity can be achieved, I question if further discussion will lead to meaningful change. I've made my point, and i would really appreciate if you at least think about it.

Either way, good luck with your projects! ;)

@paccer "Even if "other users are doing it" and "there's no rule against it", I still find it unethical. Accurate and descriptive information serves everyone better." I'm sure understand what you are taking about. i will do it what it comes better .

((Even if "other users are doing it" and "there's no rule against it", I still find it unethical. Accurate and descriptive information serves everyone better.)), Hugging face should alter the 2023 CoC. Lets Hope the better rule comes.
