It was hard to get good results from the old diffusion models. But when you struck gold it was so compelling! You can't replicate this aesthetic with modern models. I've tried, but they're told coherent.

One of my favorite diffusion gens from the early days of AI art. When everything was abstract surrealism.

I love combining BigGAN gens with more modern tools. Leonardo AI makes this very easy. Without further ado I present transcendental cat in HD technicolor! Fully remastered! Fully restored!

oldschoool gens with BigGAN+CLIP. This one is "transcendental cat" I'm no expert on transcendental beings or cats. But this looks scientifically accurate to me

I decided to revisit BigGAN+CLIP "a beautiful painting of a skywalk over a river of water"

"a horse in space" created with bigsleep in 2021. How far things have come in 3 years. Feels like a decade ago. Even still I love these early gens. It's like the world viewed through the eyes of an alien intelligence.
