I paid 3 cents for this and it was worth every penny

Yes I am working on George the Squirrel, and then I came across this post which brought my attention to the fact that PeakD has gotten into the AI game with a really smart thing, done in a clever way with clear value add (at least to me).

Turns out that "Ai" is just a bunch of computer code that people are running, and you can get some AI juice "for free" on sites like https://civitai.com/models - but you will have to "make an account" and play around with the gamification of "energy" that is akin to airline miles to do it.

You can get free "energy" by jumping on one foot and retweeting about the particular site, but in my ornery old age I don't like to pay for my needs with social engineering. I would rather pay money, unfortunately for most sites, that's a whole other can of worms.

https://peakd.com/ai turns that on its head. For tiny micropayments I can use my HIVE wallet to access other people's "compute" and make delicious images for my game world of Mithril Destiny.

Their most recent update shows that they are not afraid to lower prices either!

There are several different models, make sure to study them carefully. I will be using this more and more as I have no problem shelling out a few cents for images to avoid having to use these sketchy ai sites.

Thanks PeakD I am a happy customer!

I even used peakD AI for my @armero project. This deserves its own post but wowzers does it pop!

I'm going to send these boys my nickels every time I get the urge to have an image of something. Its brilliant because most quality posts on Hive make more than a nickel.

Jarvie and Asgarth are hometime Hive heroes.

Send them some nickels to create your own images for your posts, no need to use shady websites that might be mining your data/bitcoins!

It is great that PeakD has this option to create AI images for a couple of cents.

It's not expensive at all and it supports the ecosystem.

I'm not a very big AI fan, but I did try it out once:

It has a strong "Redwall" vibe, and simulated illustration well. Were you able to get this on your first attempt or did it take a few iterations?

I did it twice, the second a modification of the first.

I got 6 images for 0.22 HBD, or 3.6 cents per image. I like at least 4 of them!

This one was the fourth one, or first of the second series.

That's not bad at all.

It's an awesome feature/tool anyone can use with a few cents. I tried it once and thought I needed to be better at giving prompts, lol!

0.00057341 BEE

Yes indeed, but that's something I want to do anyway!

Awesome! Enjoy while you're at it :)

Thanks for bringing this up. Will definitely give this a try. PeakD is one of the great projects in hive and I am glad that they are getting toe to toe in AI development. Thanks again !BBH !PIZZA

Interesting. I hate ai "art". It's 99.9% the same and it's so fucking vanilla I can't stand it. Probably there is a use for this trash but I have not yet seen it.

0.00056243 BEE

Yes, I mean, I don't know if "art" is the right word 😅

I'm a bit of a utilitarian, I used to pay a venezuelan to draw me stuff.

But he had power problems and his mother got sick.

Sometimes I just need a squirrel holding a lantern bro.

Yeah, that all makes sense.

Sometimes I just need a squirrel holding a lantern bro.

Don't we all!?

Peakd AI is making very nice photos, I haven't tried it yet. Your post is encouraging me to spend a few cents. Have a good day
