Stable Diffusion — A Few Thousand Images Later
<p>I’m going to discuss things that I learned and relearned doing thousands and thousands of AI art image generations with Stable Diffusion over the course of almost half a year. Wow, it’s kind of hard to read the words I just typed.</p>
<p>To re-emphasize what I discussed in part one of this post:</p>

<p>(<em>That has some points and resources that I’ll be glossing over here.</em>)</p>
<p>I <strong>love </strong>images that look like they come from a story — maybe straight from a movie scene or a book cover illustration. When I was a kid, I spent hours pouring over Frazetta, Michael Whelan, and The Brothers Hildebrandt. I studied those paintings, many of which were illustrations to books I’d never read, and I got to imagine what the story might be based on what the art depicted.</p>
<p>I’ve been going through zoned-out joy triaging all of these images. Many look like pivotal scenes from a story and I just enjoy thinking what might have happened up to that point and what happens next. Nevermind that this is noise pattern being regurgitated into an image based on a bunch of mathematical models and perceived weights. Some of these images I absolutely adore. It’s been relaxing and rewarding and sometimes exciting to go through all of these images.</p>
