AI image generation using Stable Diffusion

Stable Diffusion is a  popular free software program/AI modeler for generating images based on text inputs. It requires a relatively powerful GPU (graphics card or chipset) to run, preferably an Nvidia 3060 or better.

Automatic 1111 is a web interface that makes it easier to use Stable Diffusion.
