AI image generator megathread

[PCG Katie]

Hey!
Katie here, Hardware Writer at PCG. 🤖​

I'd love to hear about your exploits with AI image generation because I'm utterly fascinated, tbh.
I started this thread so we can share the coolest images we've generated and the best generators you've spotted around the web.

Try and include links to the generator, prompts, how-tos and a little about your intended usage if you can!

Hey Katie, surely we should start with whatever generated your forum signature—clearly quite an advanced AI at work there

For a more down-to-earth scan-thru, we have this thread ticking along:

Art - Name that game with a twist. AI Art

Hey guys! A few weeks back we had a discussion about AI art in one of the threads. I think it would be cool to have a gaming quiz using AI art. It doesn't have to be a picture taken from the game, but it can be a character from the game, or a place within the game, maybe even with a funny twist...

Prompts are mentioned for some of them.

Main tools I'm aware of:
Craiyon
MidJourney
StarryAI
Stable Diffusion

Try and include links

Just so you know, that won't work for new users due to anti-spam safeguards.

I've used Midjourney quite a bit, and StarryAI (mainly for the Name the Game thread).

It's enjoyable to create and see what the technology will do. I find that Midjourney gives more impressive results visually but StarryAI gives some good images too. I tried making a deviantart page for my midjourney results though it got some criticism, and I think deservedly so. So I closed the account.

Woah, these are incredible!

It was all going so well…

@Brian Boru AI judges?

 

[Colif]

it shows its impossible to tell.

Surely they need to look at the metadata. If it can be faked, well... nothing is real.

that is the problem with a digital format.

I recently got hooked on AI generators as well, which brought me here to share what I’ve found. Glad to see there's a thread for this 🤪

1. Leonardo - back to the future Delorean flying space, synth wave, digital art

2. Illustration Generator by Icons8 - old 1950s computer on a pink background, retro futurism

https://imgur.com/a/1fdC4VL

3. PixAI - anime girl, blue archive style (SFW, of course). However, it doesn't look like Blue Archive for me.

One of the guys on Tom's Hardware found this site:

OpenGPT 4o - a Hugging Face Space by KingNish

GPT 4o like bot.

huggingface.co

It will produce NSFW content. You have been warned.

One of my favorite tools is DALL-E 2, which is great for generating everything from futuristic landscapes to whimsical characters. I used it to create custom images for a project I was working on—super handy for visualizing concepts.

For prompts, I usually start with something broad and then tweak it based on what I see. For example, I might start with “a cozy cabin in the woods at sunset” and adjust from there to get the exact mood or details I want.

If you're looking for ai tools for sales, there are some cool applications that help generate visuals for marketing and presentations, which could be useful.
