Thread: Free gemerative AI for images
Post: RE: Free gemerative AI for images
Can you provide a brief review of the servers you've used? e.g. what AI do they use? How fast are they? How many free images per day? What special options do they provide?

fwiw, here are the ones I rejected (reduced in size): the tiger was too big and its stripes weren't blue. Every once in a while an acceptable image shows up among the first four. This seems to have be... |

Thread: Free gemerative AI for images
Post: RE: Free gemerative AI for images
A lot depends on the prompt you provide. And what you're looking for, of course. I often have to look at more than a dozen images to find one that's close enough to what I want. So far, I've found tha... |

I've updated it to v2.1, using the same link. A missing Format notice was added along with a suggestion that those unfamiliar with OA should read Essay #2 first. |
