I'm out of date on the image-generating side of AI, but I'd like to check things out. What's the best tool for image generation that's available on a website right now? Ie, not a model that I have to run locally.

Midjourney right? Although, discord isn't a website I guess.
iambateman 3y ago
Probably Midjourney, but I like Dreamstudio better.

https://playgroundai.com/create https://playgroundai.com/create Not affiliated in anyway and not very involved in the space. I just wanted to generate some images a few weeks ago and was looking for somewhere I could do that for free. The link above lets you do that but I suggest you look up prompts because its a lot more involved than I expected.

  Any particularly useful resources for looking into prompts?

    This AI Horde UI has, IMO, some really good templates and suggestions: https://tinybots.net/artbot https://tinybots.net/artbot

      Hey! Creator of ArtBot here. Thanks for plugging the site! For those not aware, here's an interesting fact about ArtBot (and the AI Horde in general) -- we've been running an A/B test with Stability.ai for the last 3 weeks or so related to SDXL [1]. Any time a user generates an image using SDXL_beta on the AI Horde, they get two images back. They pick which image they think is best for the given prompt. This data is sent back to Stability.ai in order to help improve their image models. In a similar vein, LAION partnered with the AI Horde earlier this year in order to gather aesthetics ratings for improving various image datasets. [2] It's a cool little open source community and there's just a ton of stuff going on.

        Artbot is an amazing and criminally underappreciated project, I try to find an excuse to plug it wherever I can.

    I used this: https://learnwithnaseem.com/best-playground-ai-prompts-for-art/ https://learnwithnaseem.com/best-playground-ai-prompts-for-a... I just took the ones I liked and then deleted out the words that were specific to that image and left the ones that were providing the style of the image. So for example on the first one I would delete "an cute kitsune in florest" but would keep "colorfully fantast concept art". Then I just added a comma separated list of the of the features I wanted in my picture. It took a lot more trial and error than I thought and adding sentences seemed to be worse than just individual words. I am sure I barely scratched the surface of interfacing with the tool correctly but the space is moving so fast its not the kind of thing I want to spend my time learning right now just to have that knowledge deprecate in 6 months.

I've found https://firefly.adobe.com/ https://firefly.adobe.com/ pretty good at composing images with multiple subjects. [disclaimer - I work at Adobe, but not in the Creative Cloud] But I wouldn't say it's the "best." Just trained on images that weren't taken from unconsenting artists.

  I'm actually a big fan of firefly. It has a different kind of style from the others, presumably due to its training dataset?

  I was quite disappointed that the Photoshop generative fill stuff insists on running on Adobe's servers rather than locally. So however good it is, there are many of us who will never use it.
  - knicholes 3y ago
    Yeah-- I can only assume it's to ensure a consistent experience and to not disperse the model openly. If you have the model running locally on people's computers, it limits who can use the generative AI and opens up a ton of headache around customer support. Again, I don't work on this, but I'm familiar with generative AI and what it takes to run.

  What models does dreamstudio use? I couldn't see how to view them without logging in.
  - dragonwriter 3y ago
    Dreamstudio (and ClipDrop, also) uses Stable Diffusion, gettig new SD models generally before public release (both are owned by StabilityAI.)
a5huynh 3y ago
If you want to play around with Stable Diffusion XL: https://clipdrop.co https://clipdrop.co
- esperent 3y ago
  Since clipdrop hs an API is there any way to use it with ComfyUI or Automatic111 (or whatever that's called).
- dash2 3y ago
  I just tried this and the UI is very nice (better than dreamstudio), with nice tool integration, and image quality is definitely going up with each new release. You can see a few results at fb.com/onlyrolydog (along with a lot of other canine nonsense).
hospitalJail 3y ago
There are toy AI things, but there is nothing quite like Stable Diffusion running on Colab. Lots of people recommended Midjourney but that is like playing with MSpaint. If you can get Stable Diffusion going with Automatic1111, its AAA tier. Especially with Control-net, and dreambooth, but that is part 2. Google: The Last Ben Stable Diffusion Colab for a way to not run it locally, but get all the features.
