    In comment sections or in community pages, it's mostly an ocean of default avatars. Why do you choose to stand out with a custom avatar on this semi-anonymous platform?

    I find it easier to follow a thread if I can quickly tell who is saying what. I usually don't remember the usernames so a picture helps there. It's not a necessity of course

        We should totally do that again. Fun for the people generating them with different LLMs, fun to see the crazy stuff that shows up, and some people wind up with an avatar that they like.

        @[email protected]

        I remember that "blank face" image being generated, too.

        Also an interesting way to compare different LLMs, because you can see what they're spitting out for the same input.

        EDIT: Found that thread:

        https://sh.itjust.works/post/7955084

        The intent wasn't originally to generate avatars, but some people did wind up using it as their avatar.

        I remember that post! I had a lot of fun generating people's usernames 🙂

        I guess we can always do another one?

                    Sure! Might stir up some activity over there. I wouldn't mind running my username again through whatever is free to see what images I get back this time
