Foreword
Displayed in this article is a collection of a range of AI images I have saved created by others since the start of this year to better convey the current state of the system and show some interesting art which has been made. I have not been to driven in my filtering process, there is I think a flood of fantastic material.
You can open the images in a new tab for the full size.
I've wanted to discuss with people how easily this can be used to create consistent characters in different settings. Much of the images I have saved I didn't save if they were very similar because I liked the variation, however in using this device to create art for games or a book which are consistent in style it seems to be able to accomplish this exceedingly well.
The guide on how to use this AI can be found here;

Many of the images shown in this article were also sourced from various imageboards.
Quite a proportion of the images do seem relatively sexualised, I've not included anything NSFW in this collection however. I guess if I am making some cultural commentary on that I see it as the progression of art since the time of antiquity but it is also partially indicative to me of the community where I am sourcing the images, it seems that the bulk cohort of the people producing these images are male Otakus.
I think it is a great test to see what is acceptable to the eye and the human brain and what is not. Gory and gross images will elicit a degree of revulsion regardless of AI features in its creation, attempting to make an image attractive though is a more interesting hurdle for the AI. Generally it is useful to examine the created images and look at where it is still not getting things perfect such as the hands.
Given that we are at the point where consistent dialogue can be made by AI, art can be made by AI, the music can be made by AI and all of this can be stitched together in a video I think that we are very close to entire animations being able to be made by combining various AI. The profession of editing might become much more highly sought after in those industries however the material being output could be immense and saturating.
