One of the most prominent generative AI tools that has been making headlines in the last few months. Stable Diffusion is specifically meant to create fully artificial, photo-realistic images. If you’ve ever seen one of those “all of these people don’t exist” montages, it was almost certainly using images generated by this tool.
There’s a ton of models and LoRa’s for it that can create a pretty wide variety of things. I use it for creating on-the-fly watercolor scenes during D&D sessions for my session journal.
These were deities for a homebrew campaign, and the DM had already provided their domain, element, and symbol (i.e. war, fire, stallion). I usually just generate 4 images at a time (only takes a few seconds on a 3090) and pick the one I like the best. Sometimes I’ll generate 2-3 sets of 4, but not often if I don’t have a clear idea of exactly what I’m looking for.
If it’s something really specific I need, I could spend hours using in painting and various noise/models to get what I want.
Which in a weird way is an ethical way to make porn with no “exploitation” involved with the process and there will always be a market for the “real” thing for the market. Now the AI art people can be incredibly thirsty but I do feel it is a bit reductive to say its mostly only for porn when the applications of it can be quite useful especially for hobbyists (who I feel aren’t profiting solely on those creations). I see great use for generative “art” for tabletop in terms of character sheets/custom monsters/settings/ and even maps. AI art isn’t necessarily a bad thing its just the fear of what large corporations will do with it that is really the scary part (also bullshit scammers who steal X artists work and try to resell it as that artist)
Who are they and what do they do?

Those images are awesome. How many tries and time did you need to get such good results?

Well it’s FOSS and other models/programs explicitly try to block porn. So of cause people make porn with SD
They ushered “AI” even before ChatGPT. It was “The” rad back in August 2022.
