oh it's absolutely fascinating to learn and use the tools, i basically devoted an entire month when i first got a stable diffusion local install going (on an RTX4090 no less!), i loved it! ......
but by the end of it, noticed it wasn't really doing it for me, felt like my dopamine centers had been fried .....
i think if u want to stand out with AI art you still need to be doing something extra, cos every man and his dog can feed a prompt to a model. ...... so at least with the image above i did make a little scene with the ₿ model and some rings for the seed of life motif in the background, and used ControlNet depth map. ......
i mean, if ur enjoying the process, for sure keep going!.... but my sense is that engagement on just AI images has already dropped off a lot---what do u think ?
