Are You Ready? Day 11 Challenge Instructions are Here!

Day 11: Stable Diffusion - Generate Custom AI Art Locally (If Possible)


Hey, tech heads! Day 11’s DIY time—I’m tackling Stable Diffusion to generate custom AI art locally, like a “steampunk forest.” My Wix site’s my sketchbook, and today’s about hands-on AI—let’s get gritty!


Objective


Today, I’ll use Stable Diffusion to create one custom artwork—think “steampunk forest”—running it on my machine if I can. It’s all about controlling the AI art process, logged for the challenge.


Step 1: Set Up Stable Diffusion


  • Check your rig—needs a decent GPU (NVIDIA, 4GB+ VRAM) or CPU (slower). No beast? Use a web demo (e.g., stablediffusionweb.com).


  • Local route: Hit huggingface.co, grab the Stable Diffusion model (free, ~4GB download). Install Python, Git, and dependencies—guides at stable-diffusion-art.com.


  • Takes 20-30 minutes—web’s faster if hardware’s iffy.


Step 2: Generate Your Art


  • Local: Run via command line— “python scripts/txt2img.py --prompt ‘steampunk forest, gears and vines, 4k’ --n_samples 1 --plms.”


  • Web: Paste prompt into demo—same vibe: “steampunk forest, gears and vines, 4k.”


  • Expect brass gears, misty trees—takes 1-5 minutes. Save the best output (PNG download).


Step 3: Log It on Your Wix Site


  • Wix Blog—new post: “Day 11: Stable Diffusion’s Gear Woods.”


  • Write: “Ran Stable Diffusion for a steampunk forest—local’s a grind, but worth it. Took an hour—AI’s raw power!” Embed the image (Add > Image).


  • Publish—Day 11’s forged!


Step 4: Reflect and Update


  • Homepage: “Days Completed: 11/30”—update tracker.


  • Takeaway: “Stable Diffusion’s a beast—tech hurdles paid off.” Keeps it real.


Time Check


  • 60-90 minutes: 30 for setup, 20 for generating, 15-20 for blogging. Tech-heavy but rewarding.


Challenge Tie-In


  • This art could jazz up Day 8’s Canva graphic—steampunk twist incoming!


Your Move


Try Stable Diffusion with that forest prompt—or tweak it (cyber desert?). Local or web? Tell me your tale, and we’ll push on!
