17. Hotpot AI
Hotpot.ai’s art generator is a pretty rudimentary program, but it has become much more capable since I first tried it. The company is also advertising different features, like tools to remove objects and backgrounds from photos, though those do indeed cost money.
The whole “free” aspect is where Hotpot hurts the most. Creating small, thumbnail-sized images is free, but doing anything more, including resizing or allowing “commercial use,” costs a subscription. I’m surprised by the quality of the images generated, especially how each image definitely has a lot of classic Sci-Fi and fantasy feel to it, but the limitations on the free versions hurt it the most.
