A Progressive Journey Through Working With AI Art – Part 2 – Running Locally

My initial foray into doing AI Art locally involved Stable Diffusion, which can be found here. This path ended up being sort of, multi staged. Initially I set it all up to run off the command line through PowerShell and Python. I ran through several prompts aver a few days off and on with iffy results (above). At some point I closed it down. When I came back, I couldn’t get it to run again. I couldn’t figure out WHY and so I gave up and nuked it to start fresh. (The problem was I forgot to use the Python Virtual Environment, DUUUUH).

Part 1 can be found here.

Side Note, Unfortunately, I don’t know the prompts for many of these because my initial runs just produced file names with numbers for file names.

A Progressive Journey Through Working With AI Art – Part 1 – On the Web

This was originally one huge post, but I decided it would be better to be split up across a few posts.

Is it Dall*E? Dall-E? DALLE? I’m honestly not sure, and I’ll probably jump around a bit on which I use. Whatever it is, it’s AI Generated Art from text based prompts. And it’s pretty neat, and progressively more and more neat.

Initially, it was very limited to even do anywhere, but there was this great little service called Dall*E Mini, which let you make simple images with a sort of simplified version of the Dall*E 2 Engine. Or something like that. It eventually evolved into crAIyon.com. I don’t really use it much anymore and I’ve misplaced the images I generated with it… somewhere. Aside from that “Ramen Junkie” image above.

I have tried a few other similar systems with mixed results.

This is long and there are lots of images, so feel free to click through to read more…
