We’re running out of places for techbros to put AI. They’ll be putting AI in our pancakes next.

I wish they’d put AI in me. I can sleep and turn on Auto Pilot mode while at work.

A simple camera module feeds images to the DreamGenerator’s Raspberry Pi computer, which runs an instance of Stable Diffusion and ControlNet to create AI art based on said image.

The device doesn’t look large enough to house a regular Pi. Is he using a Pi Zero? If so incredibly impressive.

AI generative tools usually require an immense amount of GPU and computing power – well beyond the capabilities of a Raspberry Pi, which leads one to believe that the AI generation happens over the cloud.

So probably the smallest piece of hardware that can establish a network connection.
