I want this for my photos.

I'm not a good photographer, but I have taken tens of thousands of photos of my family. I would love to provide a prompt for a specific day and persons and have it create a photo that I never was able to take. I don't mind that it's not "real" because I find photography to be philosophically unreal as it is. I want it to look good, and inspire my mind to recreate the day however it can imagine.

And I want to do it locally, without giving away my family's data and identity.

This is basically what all the headshot generator apps do. It is pretty simple to achieve if you can spin up GPU instances (https://huggingface.co/docs/diffusers/v0.13.0/en/training/te....)

However, I find it challenging to achieve on Macbooks, despite all the neural core horsepower I have. If anyone has achieved this with non-NVIDIA setups i'd love to hear!

interesting idea.

completely unrelated i just read a scifi story where a technology was developed that could revive dead bodies for a short while in order to pose for family photos that they hadn't created before the person passed away.

obviously going way overboard for something AI can do today, but probably the author wrote the story before that.
