One of my jobs involved updating blogs for small businesses. I had a Shutterstock subscription for the images that goes along with these blog posts. For this task, I think AI generated images work a lot better than stock photography.

There's some recruitment company advertising jobs on LinkedIn. All the pictures are clearly AI generated and they're terrifying. Uncanny Valley freaks grinning at you from your screen.

I still need to set up my computer to do the AI generated images.

you can already api into chatgpt and dall-e 3 as one cohesive service, and make a system in an afternoon's work that reads the article, decides on a thumbnail, and automatically generates one. the whole thing costs like 8 cents per article.

You could also self host Stable Diffusion to save some money

Edit: Or is it free to use with ChatGPT Premium (or whatever it's called)? Then that would actually be cheaper

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

no, the premium stuff doesn't give you api access. which is total bs, but yeah, it's only for that grey interface. (i'm also quite salty that the playground has no easy to access image inputs but that's beside the point)

you're completely right about self-hosting sd, it's just a matter of prompting. sd workflows tend to get a little more experimental but i guess you could still make chatgpt write a few prompts that are close to correct and just manually rerun if an image failed

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe ChatGPT knows how to write SD prompts at this point. You could try just telling it to generate a prompt specifically for SD.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

yup, and when in doubt, just do some few-shot prompting

My office is using AI to do this years xmas card. It's pretty cool.
