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 it running on both Windows and Linux without much effort. The easy install was what appealed to me the most though I have been using the GUI as well. It's been a while so I don't know how it has changed but the original version of Stable Diffusion could be a pain to get up and working sometimes.
To get reasonably fast results you need a decent GPU. However, you don't actually need a GPU at all to use Stable Diffusion UI, as long as you don't mind waiting anyway. If you don't have a GPU, each image will take a much longer time to produce as the CPU is much less efficient for this sort of thing. It can take thirty minutes or even much longer depending on your hardware and the settings you use. However, this is open source software so you can generate as many images as you like without worrying about signing up for anything or paying a subscription fee. The end result is that even with limited hardware, you can still produce unlimited images as long as you are patient.
I've been generating a lot of steampunk images. Some turn out well, some don't, some are subtle in their steampunk theme, some are anything but. This one is another example of how wrong an image can turn out. While it definitely isn't what I was trying to accomplish with my prompt, there is no doubt that it is an interesting image. There are steampunk elements in the image but those aren't what draw your attention. While it may not have been what I was trying for, it was an image I ended up liking anyway.
