When running diffusion models locally you often generate a lot of garbage. People with eight fingers per hand, cats with four tails, etc. When that happens you chalk that up to bad prompting or just the “magic” of image generation being too

Nope. A twitter user films her sandwiches rotating and posts them. That’s it, that’s the whole website.
