How to make your own creepily realistic AI photos in seconds for free

AI art is all the rage at the moment.

We’ve some some scarily realistic stuff.

But there’s still a way to go, as some examples we saw earlier this week show.

And now the technology is not just restricted to the experts.

You too can dabble in AI art with a range of free online tools.

Many allow you to create anything you like just by telling the AI what you want with written words.

So why not give one of these a go?

DALL·E 2

DALL·E is made by the same people who created the much-talked about ChatGPT.

You have to create an account – with your phone number – to use it.

And you get 50 free credits for your first month, followed by 15 free credit refills every month after that.

Once you’re in, just type a detailed description of what it is you want, followed by generate.

Give it less than a minute and you’ll see what the AI comes up with.

It’ll display several realistic options to choose from.

Alternatively, you can ask it to make edits to an existing image.

“Our hope is that DALL·E 2 will empower people to express themselves creatively,” OpenAI said.

Try DALL·E.

Stable Diffusion

Stable Diffusion offers its own AI art maker too.

Except you don’t need to sign up to do it.

And there’s no limit on the number you create.

The developers say they don’t collect or use any personal information, neither do they store your text or image.

But it does warn that severs may experience problems at times of high demand.

It all takes about 30 seconds to generate your final image.

Try Stable Diffusion.

Mage.space

Mage.space is another free option worth considering.

No limits and instantly accessible.

It comes up with more arty images.

The platform generates one at a time.

Creating an account allows you to access some extra tools.

For example, you can hit a button that allows you to create a new AI image straight away rather than returning to the previous page.

Try Mage.space.
