Hey, so nice to see you again! And thanks for your post, reminding me of the QOTW, which I knew was coming back, but I totally would have missed the first question, had it not been for this post of yours.
Also, congrats on becoming an AI trainer! Pretty amazing how you have become so immersed in the world of AI programs. That is something I have heard and read about, but I never got to the point of doing a deep dive and actually trying out different tools myself. But maybe now...? Which image generating tool would you recommend for its simplicity and user friendliness?
Sorry, I did not want seem like I wanted to treat you like an AI! Though I do appreciate your advice. And it was really great to read another one of your QOTW posts. 😁
Hi! Good to see you!
I had to check too to find the first QOTW or I would have missed it too.
And thank you! The funny thing about the job is that I thought it'd be boring but I'm actually quite enjoying it. There's not one day the same as the other, and I have a lot of good laughs when I see the AI act in a funny way or respond to something with something unexpected. It can be very funny at times.
As for image generation tools: you probably already discovered that there are many different ones out there. For simplicity and user friendliness, but also amazing image creation, I love leonardo.ai
There will be example images from other users, which you can use to do your own (use their prompts), and that way you'll get the hang of how to prompt.
There's also a prompt creation function which can be useful for basic prompts and then add or delete things from it. There are quite a few different tools to play with on there, and this will all make sense in time, but give it a go with simple tasks and it probably won't disappoint. On the other hand, sometimes, you can give it a seemingly simple prompt and you get something completely different. Sometimes surprisingly good and sometimes just flat out bad haha. But that's the beauty of it. Every time you work with the tools, both you and the AI tool learn something new...
And don't worry about using me as an AI. Welcome to the world that is AI mere mortal.
Your wish is my command. 🤣
Nice! I will take you up o it, hehehe! 😉 But first I want to check out leonardo.ai for certain. As you can see in my post, I used images from MidJourney, created by others, since I did not keep my subscription. Do I need to pay to use Leonardo? Not that I'd mind, but at the moment that would be a reason for pushing it out into the one day / some day black hole.
You don't need to pay to use Leonardo. You get 150 credits per 24 hours, which is enough to spend at least an hour and create approximately 10 to 30 images.
I do have the paid version, simply because it offers more extras, but it's definitely not necessary if you're just playing with it.
Sweet! NOW I'm excited. Can't wait to try it...
