db0 apparently has a bot, @aihorde@lemmy.db0.com, linked up to AI Horde, which will render images using various LLM models in response to comments.

All using it requires is, in a comment, writing the text:

@aihorde@lemmy.db0.com draw for me <prompt text>

It’s apparently been active for years, but somehow, I’d been unaware of it until now, when db0 happened to trigger it in a thread on !imageai@sh.itjust.work where we were creating images to represent usernames. It looks like nobody’s been aware of it, and it’s gotten very little use.

It apparently supports multiple models (including Pony, which is trained on and can render furry art, and Flux, which does pretty well with ordinary, English-language descriptions). It looks like the default is Flux.

Note that according to the FAQ, it will try to block (and will do a 1-day tempban on users for) NSFW content.

I’m going to try out a few prompts here and maybe mention this somewhere higher-profile, because this is really cool — it lets users pseudononymously generate images on the Threadiverse without needing to use a commercial service or having their own hardware.

Bot FAQ:

AI Horde style list (these can be accessed by adding style: <stylename> to the end of a prompt). Some of these are clearly different models whose names I recognize, and I’m pretty sure that some are just adding some extra text to the prompt.

While Lemmy doesn’t natively provide the ability to follow a user, it posts what it generates to !botart@lemmy.dbzer0.com, so you can subscribe and watch generation if you want.

    Let’s see if maybe it just dropped the request and is still alive.

      Hmm. Still nothing.

      @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com: I’m afraid that your aihorde bot may have crashed or something, unless there’s some sort of rate limit not mentioned in the aihorde bot FAQ. I don’t think that it was anything terribly unusual I did, as this would have been a model that I already rendered images with, just changed the prompt terms.

              There is on mastodon, but I don’t remember if I put one on Lemmy. It should reply with the rate limit error if so though. In this case your Gen probably failed somehow (that too should inform however, so I need to check) there’s a lot or moving pieces for an bot like this but you can always try again,it doesn’t hurt it.

                Okay, thanks! I didn’t want to be accidentally creating some sort of gargantuan queue if it was just backed up, but that eases my fears there.
