And hundreds of dollars in equipment. And likely another 50 bucks on credits to be able to access the corporate proprietary software no one else can successfully emulate, making you completely dependent upon them for the mere illusion of artistic expression.
Nah. I'd rather just pay $20 to an actual human artist, or, better yet, more efficiently and meaningfully do it myself. Without some shitty AI that doesn't even know what the hell it's doing most of the time.
I’m really curious what “corporate proprietary software” you’re talking about. DALL-E 2 is garbage, and MidJourney isn’t corporate. This image is almost definitely generated from a Stable Diffusion XL derived model, possibly DynaVision. This can easily be run on graphics cards that many people already have for gaming. You can use a cloud host for this, but I think most people that use Stable Diffusion just run it locally because of how easy it is.
You're close! Stable Diffusion 1.5.
