You join the discord and you get like 20 or so free samples to use to make whatever AI powered images you want. I stumbled onto this yesterday and had a ton of fun messing with the free trial. 

 

I've seen some news articles about this, but I figured I'd just post about it from the source. This is the first image generation AI that people can trial for free that actually works really well as far as I know.

I did share something like this but it was some month ago and the rendering was pretty simple from google imagen.

 

Love those render would make sick wallpaper if the res is high enough

Yea, I've seen similar stuff before but not this simple and easy to use for free with good results. 

 

I was kinda hoping other people would try it and post their results.

Seem like the forum took a dive in the past month. Maybe it because summer is here people are less online.

Personally, I'm just not interested in AI at all.  I'm just posting to say, I still have no life so I'm here.

I don't think its just the forum, theres just not much interesting going on in the PC hardware or gaming space these days.

That does not surprise me

Well see, the reason being its AI.  It's a computer program that's making those images.  I'm just not all that impressed, of course computers have that ability, they have since the 1950's or 60's ish, its just gotten more advanced is all.  Yes, advancement is cool, but its still just a computer generated image.

 

Had YOU PERSONALLY drawn those images or painted them, then I'd say that's really something and pretty neat.  I just don't get all that impressed with things that we already know computers can do.  Some of those look like they'd be pretty neat backgrounds and such, sure.  It's just.....meh.  I prefer human created art, that's all.   Even photographs, if a human took the photograph, generally there's some perspective or personality to the photo.

 

I don't know how to really describe it.  I feel like they're missing personality or something.  Don't misunderstand me, its amazing that AI programs have advanced this far.  But they still don't stack up to actual art created by people.....at least in my opinion.

Gonna start printing art with that ai and sell them for 2k each it just insane how great those look.  Resolution seem pretty low thought.

Not appropriate for the user forum. Take your disputes to PM or up with enterprise.

Also, if you actually knew computer history ultramega, you wouldn't be quite so smug with your comebacks because yet again you're wrong on history. We had these same chatbots in IRC 20 ish years ago, which was free for anyone to use (still is actually). They drew more ascii art, but I do believe later on they started finding images from search engines. These are just the examples I personally remember, I'm sure it changed further after I had stopped using IRC. This is simply the latest advancement of the same tech we've had. As I said earlier, it's nothing new, nothing THAT great. The advancement is neat, which I SAID EARLIER. Yes, it's interesting. Yes, it's a pretty cool new bot for discord. But to claim it's new, that's far fetched. You're clearly new to the internet.

Tldr. Sounds like you should take your own advice though. 

 

You just have a lot of unfounded skepticism about everything. It gets old. 

 

And just fyi, the pics I posted were mostly ones I made, or I told the AI to make, and I feel like I'm just scratching the surface of what this think can do. There definitely weren't AIs or chatbots doing thing anywhere close to this level in past.

This thread went sour. It was actually interesting to me. Both of you, please just stop commenting to each other at this point. Pio I replied to your thread.
