AI Image generation for macOS (It’s free!) AI Art stable diffusion / mid journey Tutorial

I’ve made a better AI video covering most of the same stuff but focusing on only one program.
“Become an AI Art legend with your iPhone, iPad or Mac ”

There are a lot of scammy AI art generators in the Mac App Store . In the video, we will cover how you can run stable diffusion on your own computer for free using three image generation apps for Mac and some of the really cool things to do.

Update: the DiffBee app has improved quite a bit from when I demoed it in this vid, to the point of being faster than the other two and more options. Be sure to click around in it as it’s the nicest UI.

The video is a tutorial for AI Image generating on your Mac covering all the basics and even some advanced usage.

These apps are surprisingly easy to use and offer a friendly GUI. They also utilize hardware acceleration, including the GPU and, on Apple Silicon, the neural engine. With practice, you can achieve decent results.

A word on the implications of AI:
I have a lot of thoughts about Stable Diffusion and AI models as they’re trained often without consent on copyrighted works. This video I didn’t feel like addressing my concerns about the potential for stealing from artists. The latest version of Stable Diffusion 2.1 as I understand it reduces the reliance on stolen art. That seems like a step in the right direction.
