You got to love freeware, and this Python-based Google Colab notebook is relatively easy to use, so really, you have to give major props for a system that’s both relatively simple and open and available to all users. All you have to do is go to the link, scroll down, and input your prompt in the text box, then either hit Ctrl+F9 or Runtime – Run All.
But of course, we’re ranking system’s artistic ability. The system progressively iterates on the design so you can see where the AI is trying to go with each image. My prompts offered some really interesting results but a few head-scratchers as well.
