Due — never forget anything, ever again.
One reason a scam like the aforementioned ChatGPT rip-off is annoying is that it distracts from legitimate apps in the same space. El Pintador is a new iOS app built atop Stable Diffusion that is worth your attention:
Simply tell El Pintador what you would like to see and watch as the AI generates beautiful new art right before your eyes.
In addition to a bunch of helpful templates that serve as starting points, El Pintador features lessons to help people fine tune their prompts. It’s fun, and the team behind it (Xibbon, founded by Miguel de Icaza) has been responsive to feedback since launching it just before Christmas. Also: free of charge to download and try.
