thealexshaq··on Build Apps on Stable Diffusion / ControlNet: Art, Logos, Selfies, QR Codes
If you've heard of Stable Diffusion / ControlNet and want to start hacking with it this blog is for you. It has: - a Controlnet breakdown - 3 open source example apps - easy / cheap api to build on

Thanks -- totally understand! In a few weeks we will have some starter characters so that you don't have to upload any images to get a story.

Re: pricing bc of the manual time it takes to approve stories + GPU costs + super large queue we actually just started offering a paid tier to move up the queue and get your story within 24 hours. Definitely still experimenting tho!

Thanks so much! Happy to share our stack: - GPT3 davinci-003 writes the story - we did a lot of manual experimenting w prompts and used that to fine-tune GPT3 which now generates the image prompts for us - Stable Diffusion + Dreambooth generate the images (we train a model on your hero which gets deleted once your story is finished)

Right now the workflow is mostly automated, but we still manually approve stories before they get sent out to ensure quality. Unfortunately bc of manual time it takes + GPU costs + super high demand we will probably start offering a paid tier. Hope that helps!

Hey! Maker of https://magicstory.ai here! Super glad to hear your daughter loved it :) we're pushing updates to improve the stories and definitely take privacy seriously - right now all images get deleted once your characters model is trained.

Also planning to have stock characters so you can make stories without uploading images since I get that's definitely a concern for most parents. Would love any other feedback on how to improve the experience!
