Back on the saddle after a bit of a break. I think the significant decrease in quality and availability of free AI web tools available (and the site issues Image Fap has been having) took a bit of the wind out of my sails:
Grok is now paywalled and heavily moderated
Gemini is now more fussy about IP
Pollo no longer support NSFW content
Akool watermarks content from top-to-bottom and tries to paywall downloads
And to be honest... I'm kinda glad.
This shift has pushed me into finally generating more videos locally. Now instead of being limited by credits or content moderation, I'm now limited by my own understanding of the tools. I hope to start making some real weird shit!
Speaking of weird shit, I also wanted to say how happy I am to see how many new users are sharing their AI content here; it's really blown up! I love all the creativity on display and the inspiration it brings me to go in a direction I hadn't yet thought of.
Please feel free to comment with your requests/ideas. While I cannot fulfill them all, I do try to accommodate where I can.
