Okay I did the thing. Not bad...for the money I'm more impressed with @astria_ai than @lensa.ai but off the bat it's easier to get better results with the latter. Lensa is clearly trying to flatter its users...but it seems to stray from people's features a lot even with good training sets, and still struggles with hands and guitars and (to a lesser degree) eyes. Astria isn't as clean or set-and-forget but with the ability to mix in your own text prompts and going with the pay-by-model-training rather than pay-by-image-batch revenue model, it seems like you get more control and more of a learning opportunity. That said, perhaps more sensitive to and less forgiving of subpar training photo sets. Either way, this stuff is evolving FAST, and even if the economics of it seem like orgs are still just guessing at what makes sense (I was annoyed to see Lensa's price go up precipitously in the span of A DAY), the ubiquity of this tech will eventually undermine early-stage novelty-based business models... #AIPortrait #AIArt #ITrainMachines (at Santa Fe, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClsYKhfMhBY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
