image generators like Midjourney or stable diffusion?

Is there any way or any instance of free image generation tools floating around the internet?

In addition to the online platforms linked by the other commenters, it's also pretty straightforward to run Stable Diffusion locally, if your hardware is beefy enough: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui

Various fine-tunes checkpoints for different content and art styles can be downloaded at civitai.

Best way right here. Free, open sourced, and you wont get judged for your outputs.

absolutely this. I have been messing around with this for about a week now.

super fun and easy to set up. I used this since I wanted a docker env.

Prompt: sad monkey working at a computer desk, realistic, office setting Negative prompt: digital art, happy, smiling Steps: 20, Sampler: DPM++ 2M Karras, CFG scale: 4, Seed: 509018188, Size: 512x512, Model hash: 4199bcdd14, Model: revAnimated_v122, Version: v1.3.0

Time taken: 13.62s

Torch active/reserved: 2214/2992 MiB, Sys VRAM: 4145/8192 MiB (50.6%)

(side note, Does anyone know why I can't upload pictures directly from web? getting SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data )

edit: its because of size....

Beefy can mean things to different people too. I have a mobile 1660ti and it can generate images in decent times (about 40seconds for a 20iteration image from prompt)

I'm slightly lacking in VRAM though, something 8GB VRAM would allow you to use most models.

yeah thats fair enough on the wordage.

Im rocking a 3070 and 11th gen i7, but only 16gb of ram.

still pretty quick imo

Fun fact, it can be run on as low as 2gb vram! It works out of the box with the --lowvram parameter, and with some extra fiddling with extensions you can even generate high resolution stuff.

This is the way. The really top-tier AI art is almost guaranteed to use this, most online tools and other frontends just don't have the features. Also, here is a link to a fork of that with an improved UI (no other changes).

you can run SD yourself, super easy to do. Always a guide available on /g/.

Stable Diffusion Web U by Automatic1111 is pretty excellent for doing image generation on your own hardware.

And even if your pc can't run it there are always cloud hosted installs [update]: seems as /u/Deckname mentioned below, colab changed their service terms to disallow running SD. :(

Didn't google block the usage of Stable diffusion on colab?

If you want an easy to get into sd... check out easy diffusion. The beta allows for lara models now.

Stable diffusion is free, you can install it on your computer

One thing I've always wanted to do is hack into OpenAI and leak the weights for GPT4 and DallE. Never got around to developing the skillset though (I've done a few CTFs, I'm super bad at them)

Good luck with that. Do good. I can't even imagine what would happen if chat histories were to fully leak

lmao I'd never leak the chat histories, just the weights of the neural network. I have morals, they just do not coincide with the law

and

don't even need registration, but don't expect too much of them.

All those free services I tried, always produce garbaggio results. Where is the actual good stuff?

Stable diffusion + Automatic1111 + custom models and LoRAs. Completely free, only takes an hour or so to set up, and is top of the line.

You're looking for Openart.ai 😏

Why the fuck is Discord being forced down my throat when I want to use openart.ai or midjourney?
