    I used it way back when image generation was pretty new… I used it to generate some muse-type stuff for a project I have in mind. See what it was capable of and what the hype was about.

    It’s really really bad. I had to save dozens of things that I’ll need to piece together into the cohesive whole I’m looking to paint. But that’s ok because it’s going to be multiple iterations so I need to make it myself anyway.

    I could get much better examples now I’m sure, but it’s only for rough models, especially mythical being body proportions (I’m not super artistic, I need examples) and it just doesn’t need to be good in all ways to be good for specific parts of the whole. Plus I really don’t want to pollute my own vision with the average of everyone else’s. That defeats the purpose of making art.

    I will probably continue to not use it; image searches that omit AI would do just as well for what I need. Lots and lots of real humans have made art of these things in the past. It’s just unnecessary.
