AI image tools - anyone else experimenting?
Lately I've been spending more of my evenings playing with AI image tools, and I'm curious whether anyone else around here has gone down this rabbit hole.
What got me started was cover art for a small creative project. I'm no artist, so the bar was low, but the results genuinely surprised me. A few things I've learned so far:
1. Multi-reference image composition is the real game changer. Instead of describing everything in words, you can feed 2-3 reference images (a color palette, a character pose, an art style) and the tool blends them into something coherent. Way easier to steer than pure text prompts.
2. Style control is still hit or miss. Locking a consistent style across a series of images takes some fiddling - seed values and style reference weights help, but it's not one-click reliable yet.
3. Writing the prompt is about half the work. Short, concrete and structured (subject, action, lighting, mood) beats a paragraph of vague adjectives every time.
The tool I've been using lately is called Muse Image (https://muse-image.co/), mostly because the reference-image workflow fits the way I think, but there are a bunch of solid options out there now.
Anyway - is anyone else experimenting with these? Curious what tools people have tried and whether you've found them useful for anything beyond quick experiments.

Bot or not, he's nicer than some human users here.

Idk if that's towards me "not being nice" due to me pointing out that that user is kinda odd and it looks like a classic ad bot (which might be worth to bring up, in case someone would think that it's a real human and not a bot_.
If it's not that though, then I'm sorry for assuming that, I'm still kinda a newbie here (been a lurker before like mostly).
Just from what I've seen on forums, most ad bots post a reply to a random thing then do their ads. And tbh, at least to me, the thing that that user posted kinda doesn't correlate to the quote mentioned? Though idk, I'm not a big offtopic guy.

No, I wasn't referring to you. Sorry if it came off like that.  And the bot made an earlier post in the random thoughts thread which I thought was nicer than what most humans would write.
