Uploading my own images was one of the reasons I created my own version of this. It works great with kids pictures! This is so fun to see my kids smile on their face every time they see the AI version of their drawings!

This is great. I presume it's made with Replicate? It looks like it's being updated, as I was getting endless loading indicators a moment ago.

Now trying to decide if this is healthy for kids.... who may lose motivation to ever pursue detailed art and drawing because "AI can do it for me based on rough sketch". But at same time, it may motivate them to make more rough drawings with interesting ideas.

Yes, it uses Replicate indeed (scribble-diffusion) What I find is that kids (at least mine) are motivated to create even more drawings on their own and then see what it looks like with AI, which gives them more ideas, so they create even more drawings. So, so far, I'd say it has a positive impact. But I'm also pretty curious how this may end up impact on the long term.

Good to hear. Hopefully kids learn the value of original and thoughtful concepts that inform not only AI renderings, but the quality of whatever creative work comes after raw ideas, such as script writing.

I can see storyboarding for film will make use of this. Although having the characters and background remain consistent from scene to scene is something I don't know how can be done, if every submission is a roll of dice.

Get ready to see many images with memes (Loss, Dickbutt) hidden in them. Might be good or bad, depending on your stance on wasted time.

this is neat! I'll have to try this out.
