It’s fun, I’ve been making my own!

Civitai is where most of these models come from.

And yes, some of the plugins make children, and some of the plugins make sexual content. And it’s absolutely possible to use multiple plugins. I’ve actually reported some things on that site that were clearly designed with ill intent.

I’m guessing that’s based on Tintagel castle near me 😅

But instead of learning stable diffusion and training their own model for better results for free, they’re paying a service for 100 images that likely won’t be well trained.

It speeds things up for people who know what they’re talking about. The doctor asking for the plan could probably argue a few of the errors and GPT will say “oh you’re right, I’ll change that to something better” and then it’s good to go.

Yes you can’t just rely on it to be right all the time, but you can often use it to find the right answer with a small conversation, which would be quicker than just doing it alone.

I recently won a client with GPTs help in my industry.

I personally think I’m very knowledgeable in what I do, but to save time I asked what I should be looking out for, and it gave me a long list of areas to consider in a proposal. That list alone was a great starting block to get going. Some of the list wasn’t relevant to me or the client, so had to be ignored, but the majority of it was solid, and started me out an hour ahead, essentially tackling the planning stage for me.

To someone outside of my industry, if they used that list verbatim, they would have brought up a lot of irrelevant information and covered topics that would make no sense.

I feel it’s a tool or partner rather than a replacement for experts. It helps me get to where I need to go quicker, and it’s fantastic at brainstorming ideas or potential issues in plans. It takes some of the pressure off as I get things done.

That last sentence is the killer for me. I don’t want her watching absolute brain rotting unmoderated YouTube junk ever in her life.

I’d rather download a huge library of good shows and set them up so she can watch them locally.

I’m sure I can’t stop her watching absolute crap, especially when peer pressure kicks in one day, but I can hopefully help guide her little brain in the right direction to differentiate between what’s distracting and what’s genuinely interesting.

We’re not allowing our daughter to have screentime until she’s two. Other than one video call with her grandparents recently, or to show her images of real animals for education.

It’s been pretty easy really. I’m glad we chose to do it. She’s 17 months old now and doing great! Just watching her play and learn in the world around her is awesome, I can’t imagine her sitting and staring in one direction for 30m straight while some over-energised over-saturated kids show blares at her.

She’s too young to understand the narrative, she’s too young to understand the art, so what’s she getting out of it, other than a bright distraction?

Her mother and I are both super nerdy tech people who love film and gaming, so she’s going to have screens in her life at some point, no doubt, but why rush it? Every day she develops more, and understands more about the world around her, and I want to encourage that first.

Paid £500 for an S22U on FB marketplace and couldn’t be happier

Yeah I own an SEO business and that’s not how any of this works

On the flip side, I had a prusa mk3s and had nothing but issues for 2 years. It just wouldn’t print properly, even after hundreds of hours of troubleshooting and talking with people online about it. I eventually got rid of it because it was a constant headache. I really regret buying it.

I’ve never been diagnosed, but every ADHD meme feels like a personal attack.

I’ve definitely found the playground to be more useful than chat, but it of course can cost more if you’re burning through a lot of tokens (I’ve been at least doubling my plus subscription every month!)

It makes me laugh anyone cares about a censor. I guess 10 per cent of the userbase wanted to nsfw chat with waifus? Judging by the stable diffusion community on surprised it’s not 90% 🤣

I would be interested using it for my work, so offline commercially licenced models are more my interest due to privacy. Unfortunately my 1080ti doesn’t seem very capable of running anything useful. (Also the offline models aren’t as fast or advanced)

I’ll stick to redacting the information I give gpt!

That’s great to hear, it looks really nice, so I was expecting £200 not £50!

Seems pretty cheap, and the top seller I see in Google is temu which just gives me sus vibes
