Cyborg #5

Like the rest of the world, I've been playing around with AI generated art. In my case, I've been using Stable Diffusion UI. Stable Diffusion UI is an easy to install variation of Stable Diffusion that also includes a GUI. I was able to get running on both Windows and Linux with minimal effort. While the included GUI is a nice convenience, the real appeal to me of this version was the fact that it was very easy to install (though I have been using the GUI too).

To get speedy results you need a decent GPU. However, you don't need a GPU to use Stable Diffusion UI. It's just that if you don't have one and use only the CPU, each image will take a long time (30 minutes or more in most cases) to produce. However, this is open source software so you can generate as many images as you want for free. The end result is that even with limited hardware, you can still produce unlimited images as long as you are patient.

The last "cybernetically enhanced" themed image that I posted may have been subtle but this one certainly is not. The AI is back to portraying every cyberpunk, cyborg or robot themed image as a Terminator like being. Personally, I don't think we should be letting AIs watch Terminator but maybe that's just me.

In any case, even though I didn't use any words like "terrifying" or "apocalyptic" in my prompt, that's what Stable Diffusion gave me anyway. I hope it doesn't start 3D printing things...
