There was time when you didn't open youtube for a Photoshop tutorial, simply because the average internet speed at that time was hardly capable to stream a video file. Worth1000.com was one of the websites you clicked, not only to learn, but also to get inspired by the creation of the community. You found there not only great ideas and creativity, but often also amusing nonsense and hilarious stupidity which might brighten your day. You had also opportunities to get challenged and share your skill by submitting your creation into various legendary contests, such as "B-Movie Monster Day Jobs", "Frankenpets", "One Letter Off", etc.
Today, AI models are helping us generating pictures in seconds. However, I think we could still learn from the originality, or even silliness and absurdities of the submissions in worth100.com to bring more soul in our generated images.
This is a humble attempt to revive such ideas with Flux1.Dev. To make it quite challenging, I fixed the generation parameters:
seed: 1000 (to honor the forum); step: 20; sampler: euler normal; CGF: 3.5; guidance: 2;
no lora, no controlnet, no img2img, no inpainting.
So the only variable to adjust is the prompt, which can be straight and simple in one case but really tough in another.
