Hello, my friends! I started this group for AI artists and enthusiasts about 2 weeks ago, and I am really happy to have you on board! Many of you provide a ton of value, share your knowledge, give great advice, encourage each other, and always find friendly words! This is exactly how I want our community to be! However, our community already appears on Google and here in Skool, and some people who do not have much to do with AI have also joined the group. The problem with this is that they don't participate in discussions, don't post anything, or even introduce themselves. Our community will rank better on Skool if we have a high engagement. I can see the metrics of our group, and the engagement dropped to 0 in the last few days. Before, it was about 75%. I would say it's time for a clean-up! 😅 Comment on this post, that you want to stay in the group, how you work with AI, and what you want to share with us! An email will be sent, please comment in 24 hours! Inactive members will be removed. (Students of my paid course AIBM will still have access because I host the course here.) Also, to prevent a mass run of inactive users, this group will be a paid group soon! No worries, if you are already here and are active, you can stay for free forever! You can also invite your friends who are working with AI and would be active here! Tell them to set up a bio as an AI artist and answer the questions before joining the group! The group will be paid from 01.02.24. So, no panic on Titanic; if you want to stay, comment here and share your tips with us in different categories! Kindly, your host, Stella

Last post before I have to go to work for a while, lol. A few months ago I asked ChatGPT to describe a future dwelling. Below is the exchange. (I know, it's weird to say please and thank you to the AI, but I was raised to be courteous). Me: Hi, can you please write a very short description of a futuristic dwelling made of organic metal bubble-like structures connected together to form a tower? Thanks! ChatGPT: Step into the future with this extraordinary dwelling: a mesmerizing tower composed of interconnected bubble-like structures, all crafted from an innovative blend of organic materials and metallic elements. As you ascend through this harmonious fusion of nature and technology, each bubble provides a unique living space, suffused with natural light and panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. With its ethereal architecture and sustainable design, this tower redefines the boundaries of possibility, offering a captivating blend of form and function for the forward-thinking dweller. This morning I asked for an updated version with changes: Me: Hi, can you please write a very short description of a futuristic dwelling made of organic metal bubble-like structures connected together to form a house? The dwelling should also be in harmony with nature and partially underground. Thanks! ChatGPT: In the future, dwellings embrace a harmonious blend of technology and nature, featuring organic metal bubble-like structures interconnected to create a unique house. Nestled partially underground, this futuristic abode seamlessly integrates with its natural surroundings, offering a tranquil and sustainable living space that redefines the boundaries between architecture and the environment. Both answers went into V6 as prompts. I only added an aspect ratio. I seriously want that first house in real life, lol. Have fun with these!

My forte, and what drew me to generative images is Photo Realism, I like the artsy styles also, but when I see an image that looks so real that I only believe it because I created it, so I will share my best practices in how to achieve beautiful realistic images. The first thing is the generator, Midjourney is amazing and generates quality artistic images of all sorts, but there is that small amount of "cinematics" I would call it, that tells it off, It is very pretty nonetheless just not real. Stable diffusion, on the other hand, has so many options plugins different versions models to suit whatever your taste may be, there is a model for that, and if you want to be specific there are also Loras, embeddings, and negative embeddings, all of which give you the freedom to control the outputs if you would like to test start or develop your SD skills its technically free, what is not free is the hardware you need to run it on your PC which is quite expensive, I recommend at the very least a 6GB graphics Nvidia card, the 4gb will work but its no fun waiting so long, now if the only` choice is the low-end card, make sure to use ComfyUI as it performs much faster that Automatic1111, with a slight sacrifice in quality. For those that me not be that technically inclined and for ease of installation and updating I recommend StabilityMatrix It has incorporated 8 different versions of stable diffusion and d 3 different model trainers, it embeds the Civitai website model browser that has the most varied and abundant repository models, Loras, plugins, lycoris, addons, a true cornucopia of SD goodies. This would be I guess my version of an introduction to Stable diffusion, I need to update my ebook a lot has changed since I first wrote it Here is a prompt that I have used many times with a few modifications now and then I present to you Cassidy...

I started to write on Medium about Midjourney about one year ago. I was not super consistent, but I could still build a following of 2.2K readers. Reasons to start writing blog posts on Medium.com: - You get paid for writing - the more people read your stories, the more you make. - Your AI skills will get better because you do more research for writing. - You practice a skill, which will bring you clients and customers. Images alone won't. - You will be known and trusted as an expert in your field. Trusted writers sell more. - You can embed links to your products/services and affiliate links. Almost all my traffic to my website comes from Medium and Twitter/X. - You can grow your social following also that way. - You can read other articles, be always up to date and get inspired. Reasons not to start: - It is work. - Work is not always fun. Excuses: - I am an artist, I am not good at writing... - But: - Writing is a skill; nobody is born with it. Means, it can be trained. Most artists need to run ads for their art and pay a lot of money for them. If you write on Medium, you get paid to educate other people and pitch your products. I just published two new articles about the Midjourney V6 updates: the Zoom feature and the Pan feature. Read those articles, clap 50 times, leave a comment, and sign up to become an author! You can start sharing your prompts and images and make already money from day one! You can link to your articles in the comments of this post! Let's Go!
