Section 1.1: The Technology Behind It
This innovative web tool is built on the robust and open-source AI art generator known as Stable Diffusion.
What is Stable Diffusion?
Stability AI defines Stable Diffusion as a text-to-image model that empowers users to create stunning artwork in mere seconds. It utilizes a frozen CLIP ViT-L/14 text encoder to process text prompts, similarly to Google’s Imagen. The model operates on a GPU with a minimum of 10GB of VRAM and is designed to be lightweight, featuring an 860M UNet and a 123M text encoder.
Here are a few example images, including Pokémon versions of notable figures like Barack Obama, Boris Johnson, and Donald Trump.

Final Thoughts
This is one of the remarkable aspects of making AI models like Stable Diffusion available as open source: it inspires the creation of delightful tools such as this. However, it's crucial to recognize the potential drawbacks of open source technology. For instance, it enables almost anyone to use Stable Diffusion to produce harmful or explicit images and disseminate misinformation.
