>>87223741I still use NAI3 plenty. I use NAI for text primarily, writing vtuber smut is a lot of fun. Either way their imagegen service is just an added bonus on the subscription for me. The speed of idea to image blows any of my local models out of the water. It's base knowledge is getting very out of date, though, approaching a year and and a quarter.
For that reason I'm currently trying SPO and Noob, though after almost a year of exclusively using NovelAI, just refiguring out inpainting and how to get high resolution stuff without the model turning chuubas into blob monsters has been an experience.

I'm still not getting outputs of a similar quality, either yet, so I must be missing something. Compare top and bottom, my eye calls top better. (Though I don't love the bleed between her peace fingers and her hair.)
