These are not just novelty value. They're great for mocking up ideas and I've also used them for generating backgrounds for advertising, for example:
"A black stage lit from above by two spotlights, very dramatic, stylish"
You can also add keywords like "modern/rustic/nature/futuristic" and it will get tuned to your desired style immediately.
Iterate on that for 5 minutes or so and there's my perfect background for a "coming soon" flyer. Way better than I could have made in Canva. Good enough that multiple people have told me the flyers look amazing, and nobody guessed it was AI until I told them.
- superasn 4y agoThat sounds great. Is this SD? Are you running this locally or via some service? Would love more details if you don't mind.
- esperent 4y agoI've been trying to set up local SD (on windows or WSL) of and on for a few weeks now. Seems to be extremely complicated even with the packages that say they are "1 click install". Then I find out they have dependencies on Cuda, a million python machine learning packages, some package called xformers that I have to compile for my specific GPU, I have to download the right SD image and config, then I have to find and install the right upscaling package and on and on. So no, I'm not using SD. I paid for a year of Midjourney for $100. Well worth it so far and honestly I think their latest V4 is just as good as SD. Probably is SD in fact, and it doesn't have that "Midjourney style" that previous versions had.
