Cyberpunk #11

in #art16 days ago

Like lots of other people, I've been playing around with AI generated art (text to image). In my case, I've been using Stable Diffusion UI. Stable Diffusion UI is an easy to install version of Stable Diffusion that also includes a graphical user interface. I was able to get it running on both Windows and Linux without much effort. While the included GUI is nice, the easy install was what appealed to me the most. Some versions can be a pain to install and setup.

To get faster results you need a decent GPU with lots of VRAM. However, a GPU isn't necessary to use Stable Diffusion. If you don't have a GPU and use only the CPU, each image will take much longer to produce. It can take thirty minutes or more depending on your hardware and the settings you use. However, this is open source software so you can generate as many images as you want without worrying about limitations or fees.

One of the themes I've commonly used when creating prompts is cyberpunk. This prompt can produce images with a near future, retrofuture theme, or a more distant future theme. Like the last few, I would say this one appears near-ish future. Also like the last few, it is a bit less frightening that some of the earlier images have been. Some of the previous ones I've generated have had a sort of apocalyptic feel to them but the last few have been a little more tame. While this one has a distinctly sci-fi feel, it doesn't seem all that cyberpunkish.

Years ago I played with the AI image generation program Nvidia released but after upgrading to a new computer, I can't find it anymore. It was fun playing with prompts and such. I was never able to make anything like what you are getting - most of my stuff came out "odd" somehow. No idea why because I was using general prompts. 😂 Still fun.
