I used this Github one-click installer to get Stable Diffusion, another AI tool that generates images based on text prompts, running on my M1-based Mac.
The initial results have been amusing, interesting, and sometimes just weird.
Using the default parameters, I used this prompt:
Cat wearing a top hat
And got this:
I then used the same prompt, but set the steps from 25 to the max of 50:
This is one dapper feline.
Next, I tried:
Dog on a cow. High detail, photorealistic.
And got:
As the kids say, there is a lot to unpack here.
Undeterred, I adjusted the prompt:
Small dog riding on top of a cow through a grassy field.
The result looks like an alternate version of the album cover of Atom Heart Mother. I like it.
I’m going to keep playing with this, since my invitation to join the DALL-E beta went into a black hole, never to be seen again. More images soon™!
