a 92 Ford Thunderbird Supercoupe. Ugliest car I've ever owned

lol I liked those... not by today's standard, but back then I thought they were the perfect cruising car! And the Bronco, too, with the removable top! I wish I had one growing up, would'a been the perfect beach mobile vs the brown piece of junk I rolled around in back in high school.

Now my favorite car is my 2004 Dodge Grand Caravan cause I can fit so many people and things in it 😋

Those are really nice. My wife had I think a 2012 for her work vehicle before trading it in earlier this year for the Chrysler version (Pacifica). So much room in those, and full of gadgets! It's her company vehicle, but I use it from time to time instead of my truck which only has a 5.5' bed.

Nothing wrong with it, don't get me wrong. I just always thought it was ugly AF and I'm not a big coupe guy. But I kept it for a long time because it was pretty fun to drive with all that power and was a great sleeper. Actually, I always come back to it in my head, because at the time my friends and I all thought it was "porky" for a car at like 2800lbs, but then you look at cars now...

Bronco was pretty great. Unfortunately, I lacked the know how, tools and space for it, so when it started having transmission issues, after trying a few times to fix it , I gave up and sold it.

And actually just this morning, for St. Nicholas Day my oldest received a Bronco that looks just like mine did (except mine was solid black)

I love mine. The build quality is so-so on the interior, bits broken here, falling off there and it looks like a jalopy from the outside (which I'm quite happy about), but I work hard to keep it in tip-top shape and it still goes great at 240k.

Those new Pacificas are damn nice. I had a rental about a year or two ago and was super impressed with how nice it felt. FAST too. Certainly faster than my old souped-up Supercoupe.

In my mucking about with Copilot this morning, I've asked it for JC Denton in a Christmas hat, but am only delivered Adam Jensen. After uploading a "photo" of JC Denton (which it blurred the face on...), it still doesn't get it and I've now realized that Copilot thinks the protagonist of Deus Ex is named Deus Ex.

"Deus Ex in a Christmas Hat"


Deus Ex delivering Christmas gifts to goons


Honestly, he just looks like Jordan Schlansky from Conan O'Brien in the above.
 
I decided to use the same prompt in both CoPilot and Flux and compare the results, but this isn't really a fair comparison because I know that I need to add some things to CoPilot to make the picture better. I've just gotten out of practice. AND CoPilot wouldn't make a picture with the entire prompt and it had to be cut down to just the basic description.

Prompt: cyberpunk noir, neon lights, science fiction, cyberpunk, night, city, a group of scruffy cyberpunk boys look through a shop window at a cyberpunk gaming PC that is for sale, the cyberpunk gaming PC has a red bow on it and beside the PC in the shop window is a little Christmas tree that is lit up, they are in a busy and snowy cyberpunk city at night that has neon Christmas decorations and it is snowing hard, the shop window is decorated with lights and red garland, past the boys and the shop window, the busy neon city can be seen, Photorealistic, Hyperrealistic, Hyperdetailed, analog style, soft lighting, subsurface scattering, realistic, heavy shadow, masterpiece, best quality, ultra realistic, 8k, golden ratio, Intricate, High Detail, film photography, soft focus

CoPilot (which used only down to "city can be seen")

Okay, these are supposed to be: In picture 1, the Halo decorated for Christmas (ha); and in picture 2, WTH. I asked for the Normandy, not the invasion from 4th of July.

Okay, without the Normandy, the connection to PC gaming is tenuous at best in the second picture, but I thought it was kind of cool. Maybe that's Helldivers 2. I'll do better in my next pictures :)

Go way back to a game called "Alternate Reality" where the intro sequence is an alien saucer shooting beams into a city kidnapping people before zooming off into space.

I'm still a newbie at this, but based on the input prompt you mentioned, it's apparent that the free Google Gemini either has limits, or I don't know what I'm doing as it doesn't understand what I'm feeding it when I get too complex. I'll have to read up on it as I've been flying by the seat of my pants this whole time. It might be time to try the free one you recommended.

For the ones you run on your own computer, the main options are ComfyUI and ForgeWebUI. There's also a SwarmUI, but I've not used it much.

Forge can be immediately understood just from a glance at the GUI and can be used for "casual" or "hardcore" purposes (like someone told me he had set up one of my LoRA's to make 1000 pictures). ComfyUI is definitely for the hardcores, and you may need to watch a tutorial on how to use it.

For Forge, the only decent model choice is Flux, but it's a very good model. For ComfyUI you can do Flux or SD3.5. I've not seen anything that makes me want to use SD3.5, so I'm using Forge and Flux at the moment.

Both of these can be easily installed using the free program 'pinokio' which can also install all sorts of AI programs if you think you'd get a use out of them. Lots of image and video stuff as well as some shadier things like voice cloning and face swapping. I goofed around with face swapping for a bit but got bored with it pretty quickly because I swapped my wife's face on a bunch of fashion photos, and she told me to stop. :ROFLMAO: I can't really swap my own face because I have a beard, which messes it up.

That's a pretty big difference. I might have to mess around with Flux.
 
But I kept it for a long time because it was pretty fun to drive with all that power and was a great sleeper.
I had no idea what they had in the hood when I first took a ride in one. I was working a retail job during college, and went to lunch with one of the guys there who had one. He happened to floor it, and really surprised me.

I love the 70s style stripes! So nostalgic!

Those new Pacificas are damn nice.
What sucks though is she got the model year before the latest which has that gigantic sunroof! The sunroof in general was one of the reasons that attracted her to the Pacifica, but damn wish we had known the new model had that panoramic style, we probably could have waited!
 
Here’s a few funny looking ones. Used Apple’s on device image generator Playground for these. As you can tell, their image generating AI sucks pretty bad compared to a lot of other models out there’s but it is nice I can quickly do these on my phone whenever. I went for some cozy log cabin gaming vibes with these. Tried to do a dog with a Christmas sweater, but it just looks like it has dyed fur.
