I mean, I'm running DALLE 3 on a browser from an old laptop and I've generated probably over 15k images in 2 weeks, spanning the gamut from memes to art to lewds (with jailbreaks). The ability to completely scrap what you're building and start totally fresh at the drop of a hat with a new line of ideas and get instant results seems pretty freeing to me.

That’s fine, but it’s like asking: “Why would anyone want to have a personal website when you can just write stuff on Facebook and Twitter and it’s so much easier?”

Stable Diffusion is an open model that you can run locally on your own computer without anyone’s permission. Dall-E is a closed model that runs on OpenAI’s very expensive server farm, and they can change how it works and what it costs whenever they please.

Right now AI is in the Uber-style expansion phase where the service is practically given away to conquer market share. Once the hypergrowth is over, OpenAI will start raising their prices just like Uber did.

With SD I can generate at least 15k images daily on my old laptop, I can train it with new styles, characters, real people, etc.; download thousands of new styles, characters, real people, etc. from Civitai, and best of all, never worry about ever losing access to it, being censored, having to jailbreak it, being snooped on, etc.

Plus a million other tools that the community has made for it, like ControlNet or things like AnimateDiff to create videos. I can also easily create all kinds of scripts and workflows.

I'm using Dall-e 3 through ChatGPT but it seems to limit the amount of images I can generate per half hour. I haven't figured out the actual limit but sometimes I go to generate an image and it just says "You've reached your image generation cap please wait _n_ minutes before trying again"

Are you getting around that somehow? Even if it'll let me generate 36 images per half hour (which seems like it's probably lower than that) I can only generate 6k in 2 weeks prompting 24/7. I'm not scrutinizing your numbers I'm more hoping I'm missing some way to not have to be capped. I already pay for GPT+

When you run out of boost tokens, if you clear your bing search history and restart your browser you get fresh boost tokens. I've been able to do this endlessly. Also if you use it during non-peak hours the wait times are usually 30 seconds or under for 3-4 image generations.

Sweeeet! Thank you!
