Hi there,
Please be aware that any AI image generator relying on Laion5B is built upon massive art theft and privacy infringement, as the images used for training were not opt-in. None of the artists whose work was used gave their consent to it.

As a matter of fact here are two crowdfunding campaigns currently ongoing to rectify that, one in Europe and one in the US :

AI-driven image generation is undoubtedly fascinating, but in its current state is highly unethical. It gets even worse when people start prompting it to emulate the style of specific artists living or dead like Moebius, Kim Jung Gi, Miyazaki, Syd Mead, and so on. Feeding their work into ML is IMHO the polar opposite of their legacy built on their dedication to their craft.
