Terrible.

I'm interested to hear why you think so? If theres's something specifically wrong with what we've built that we could possibly improve, I'd appreciate the feedback.

It's a horror show. Creepy and weird stock photos for sure. Useful for Halloween perhaps, but uncanny as hell. I cannot think of much else to say other than that it's terrible.

Maybe some people want terrible, but that doesn't change the fact that an arm is melding into the mouth of this girl's face, and all I asked for was "smiling".

Yeah, that's the unfortunate side effect of generated images, there's no comprehension of generation on the AI's side of things. People rarely come out correctly right now, but animals tend to do a bit better. Inanimate objects are mostly useable.

This is more of a proof of concept for us, and I'm trying to solve for some of this by adding voting and improved prompts on the back end. I'm hopeful that in a few weeks we'll have a much improved version out with less "horror show" images overall.
