I've noticed some newer AI tools combining text and image generation, but still feel the dedicated image AI like Stable Diffusion wins hands down.
I also recommend checking out NightCafe Studio, it's pretty user friendly and good for generating art-like images.
I think Midjourney's AI image generator is really impressive and produces stunning images way faster than ChatGPT's attempts at visuals.
Anyone tried Artbreeder? It's neat because you can morph images and create hybrids, pretty different from ChatGPT's attempts at pics.
AI art is evolving so fast, it’s wild! Hard to keep up but exciting to see better options than just ChatGPT's visuals.
For professional or commercial use, I’d stick with DALL·E 2 or Midjourney, they got better licensing and image quality than ChatGPT’s image stuff.
Stable Diffusion is pretty dope! It's open source too so you can tweak stuff if you're into that kind of thing. Way more flexible than ChatGPT's image abilities.
I’ve seen people mention Deep Dream Generator too, but the style is kinda trippy and not for everyone.
I feel like ChatGPT is just not built for visual stuff, it's all about text. So yeah, if you want better images, you gotta look elsewhere.
If you're ok with some technical setup, running Stable Diffusion locally is the way to go for best quality images.
Does anyone know if any AI image generators are free and still good? ChatGPT’s image features aren't really free.
For those hunting new or trending AI image tools, you might wanna peek at ai-u.com, they keep a nice list updated regularly.
Sometimes I just want a tool that makes good images fast without much fuss, ChatGPT doesn't really cut it for this at all.
I've tried a few and honestly, DALL·E 2 feels way better for images than ChatGPT's features. The quality and creativity are just on another level.
Anyone else checked out Runway ML? It's got some neat video and image AI stuff that's kinda next level compared to just ChatGPT for images.
Craiyon (formerly DALL·E mini) is fun to use but the image quality is hit or miss compared to others like Midjourney or DALL·E 2.
