Steampunk Girl #6

Like the rest of the world, I've been playing around with AI generated art. In my case, I've been using Stable Diffusion UI. Stable Diffusion UI is an easy to install variation of Stable Diffusion that also includes a GUI. I was able to get running on both Windows and Linux with minimal effort. While the included GUI is a nice convenience, the real appeal to me of this version was the fact that it was very easy to install.

To get speedy results you need a decent GPU. However, you don't need a GPU to use Stable Diffusion UI. It's just that if you don't have one and use only the CPU, each image will take 30 minutes or more to produce (depending on how fast your CPU is, the settings you use, and various other factors). However, this is open source software so you can generate as many images as you want for free. So even with limited hardware, you can still produce unlimited images as long as you are patient.

Back to a steampunk theme again with this post. Previous examples of steampunk related prompts have produced images with rather understated steampunk attributes. This one is a little different. In fact, it reminds me a lot more of the cyberpunk/cyborg images that I've been producing with very pronounced features. Perhaps the AI is finally channeling its inner Babbage. This time it isn't just someone with steampunk fashion, accessories or background features like some of the previous images I've posted but this one looks more like a steampunk automata. Again, much more akin to the cyborg images I've posted.
