In which we talk talk about AI-generated art - instructions, recommendations, and their potential consequences.
I love it and I hate it. There are also article writing bots now, so I am effectively unemployed.So what are your thoughts on AI art, blue?
Security. Go for security employment. The more turbulent the times the higher percentage of the population is employed in various guard positions.I love it and I hate it. There are also article writing bots now, so I am effectively unemployed.
My savings won't last for more than 2 months so I need this month to figure out how to re-present myself.
To start with - I used to have a GTX 1650 4GB. With this, I was able to use NKMD GUI in "Optimized Stable Diffusion" mode to generate pictures with roughly 1 minute to 2 minutes per image.

Generation Steps - is how much time the AI must spend to improve the quality of the image. It is a linear scale but has diminishing returns for greater steps.
Prompt Guidance (CFG Scale) - is how much the AI will use the prompts to generate the image. Very low can be random and very high values can be chaotic.
Seed is how you can get consistent pictures each time. Load the same seed with the same Resolution, Steps and CFG and you will replicate someone else's image entirely.
Resolution is tied into VRAM and generation speed. The more pixels the AI has to work with though, the better the result might look.

I hate drawing backgrounds, so this is a godsend. Some minor photoshopping or blurring out the background, and it's done.

It would take me days of trying to figure out what "female harry potter" would look like and the AI figures it out in 1.35 minutes.

I like to call this result James and Harriet.

Do not bulli.
Dursleys go home!

If you have a Nvidia GPU with at least 4GB VRAM in the GTX 10-series or better, then downloading from
> https://nmkd.itch.io/t2i-gui
This may be all you need to start playing around with AI art.
Then you can start to download trained models from
> https://civitai.com/
Which would allow to have more specific results based on preferred styles (anime, game styles, etc.).
NKMD uses the .ckpt extension while civitai uses .safetensor, but the GUI has a built in tool to convert that.
-------
If you have a better GPU with more VRAM like at least a 1060 or 2060, then you would find that standard Stable Diffusion would generate the same images in about 30 seconds.
[edit]
Oh, so we have a dedicated AI art posting thread now.
So this is for tips and discussion about how AI art will influence the market.
Personally for me, it has been amazing as it has been devastating. My commissions dried up instantly as soon as AI started being noticed in the mainstream. And I haven't been using AI art at all.
Pity, because now that I know how to use it, it would smooth over my workflow so much. I need to figure out how to compete against the AI that can do better work in a fraction of the time.
You probably just need to be more precise with your prompts.ok, i´ve downloaded the programm and tinkered with it a bit. The results were interesting to say at least....
I think it isnt trained. So, speaking of training, how can i used thise trained models ? What do i have to do ?
ok, ive used some of those models, the results are much, much better.You probably just need to be more precise with your prompts.
You can download models via torrent here:
https://rentry.org/sdmodels/ <- large list
https://cyberes.github.io/stable-diffusion-models/ <- with descriptions
Some of them are better for realism and others for anime/cartoons, and others for... uh, nsfw.
Just put whatever you want to use in the stable diffusion folder \data\models\.

Of course, some things are just too obscure for the AI to know about.
Some of them actually are. But the majority is in the uncanny valley, I didn't actually know a picture of a machine could give that feel. Others are modern art sculptures and not an actual thing that could work.but as a non-train enjoyer person... some of those don't look that bad?
See this post.Okay, how does one get started here?
Where can I download this program?
