@puns,
## FAQ ##
Q: How are these images made?
A: I (@balpha) doodle a pun image by hand on my Ratta SuperNote. Then I give the doodle to Stable Diffusion XL via the "sketch" T2I adapter, which then paints it in.
Q: So the images are just generated by AI?
A: Partially. It's a collaboration if you will. The T2I adapter makes Stable Diffusion conform closely to my doodle, so I feel there's still a lot of "me" in the image. Happy to show you the original doodle for any image so you can judge for yourself, just ask!
Q: What are your thoughts on the ethics of generative AI "art"?
A: It definitely becomes problematic very quickly once money is involved. In this particular case, I'm doing it just for fun, and I also have a good amount of my own creativity involved. That's why I think I'm ok with it. But I can also understand if people have different thoughts on it, especially those talented artists whose work was used in training these models, without getting their consent.
Q: These images aren't even funny.
A: That's not a question.
