     @joe Was that using lexica? It wouldn't let me generate someone smoking a joint. That's like half my personality.😂

     @BeAware Tried this image... best I could do.

     @joe 😂yeah...I doubt this model will be very useful for me, unfortunately. It is pretty neat. It just doesn't do the kind of things I'd normally do.🤷♂️

     @BeAware It is, trying "getting high" as a prompt now.

     @joe 🤣nice! As soon as I get my PC back, I'll be able to mess with it more comfortably. Hopefully only a few more days for that.

     @BeAware I would like to give it other tests. I played with it a ton last night and generally liked what it did but I maybe wasn't as creative... I got stuck having it design tattoos.

     @joe I highly doubt that's possible given the computational power needed to run an image generator. ChatGPT doesn't even make a profit on their $200 a month customers.😬

     @BeAware I asked ChatGPT to do the research... I could build an image generator site for about $350 a month I think. Could grab any model off one of the sites and let it loose for $10 a month?

     EDIT: The underlying claim is the cost is a half cent and you charge 5 cents per image.

     @joe Right... probably more cost effective to find one that lets you generate images that would put someone else in court.🤣

     @BeAware Nvidia T4 or Amazon SageMaker can do it for a fraction of the cost that we'd pay Lexica, Midjourney or even ChatGPT. The hard part would be ramping up enough customers to cover costs it seems - you'd have to eat a few months while you heavily advertise. And you'd have to probably allow images that could land you in court.

     @joe Yeah...it might not be financially viable, but you could try if you have the funds to hold it up until it turns a profit.🤷♂️

     @BeAware Thing is, I don't want to generate images - I want to just start a business.

     @joe 👀let me know how it goes and when I get my PC back, I'll try it, if you go through with it.

     There's a crowdsourced project that uses a network of volunteers PCs to run models and generate images for free called AI Horde. It's ran by a man here on Fedi. It's pretty neat!

     @BeAware I think I have that. I'm really curious about doing this, I might create a prototype.
