[FRIAM] Dabble with Stable Diffusion and like UV. and have questions

[cody dooderson]

Hi Gillian and the FRIAM Group,

I am going to thread jack because I know nothing about pip or UV, but you
did mention stable diffusion. I experimented with the HuggingFace Diffusers
library a few months ago(using pip).

My favorite thing to do was make the models hallucinate. Below is one of my
favorite results featuring a coworker; I was trying to put a person into
the style of a photograph using the Stable Diffusion IP-Adapter pipeline.
When I set the guidance for style to 0 and the face to 1, it created all
sorts of crazy hallucinations. I have don't why it kept putting sheep into
the picture. I could probably have an art show with all of the failed
stable diffusion images I made.

Thanks for opening up the window for me to share these!
