The only thing I don't like as an Ai Artist about Ai Artists is how UNHELPFUL they are. How they think everything is so "easy" and they seemingly can't grasp that not everyone does computer stuff. There are casual users.

Take me, I haven't used a pc since 2018. I only used it for gaming and haven't gamed since WoW cata. It's obsolete to me. I use my phone for everything. I haven't coded with html or used Dreamweaver since my aol days when div and cascading menus were NEW. I have no need for a computer with some tricked out video card and ram, etc.

Seemingly everyone in the Ai Art community is ALL computer so they think everyone is all computer, tech savvy, computer and coding literate, etc.

Even if you tell them you don't have a computer you get responses like "oh just train your model by using this environment. You can fun it locally." First of all, what did you just say?

When I hear "environment", I'm thinking the planet, eco systems, grass, etc. When I hear "model" I'm thinking a person. Locally? As in my state or city? Train? Are we fighting? Again. Casual user. They think you speak the same language. Unhelpful.

Then I'll get a google Collab link in response full of ckpt files and I have NO idea what I'm looking at. Someone will go "just do it in google Collab and run it off your phone like I do." First of all, what is google Collab? This looks like coding and I have zero interest in coding, learning coding or running coding. This whole page of files looks COMPLICATED, INTIMIDATING, OVERWHELMING so I just click out of it.

There is seemingly is no one click install file/program, etc. The one I did find didn't work.

Those so called "easy" tutorials with gitHub, miniconda, phython, etc are not easy to someone who has never ever seen that stuff before (me).

So yes, I'm very frustrated with the Ai Art community in that sense. Where I can't seemingly play with the big kids unless I have a super computer or know how to do complicated coding.

You ask a question, they give a matter of fact answer like you know what they're talking about. "Oh just train your model and..."

I'm a light saber enthusiast who collects and that community is the same way. Someone will say "I installed a font" in regards to a light saber they just built.

When I hear that I'm thinking old school you legit installed a font ttf file or whatever. I have no idea what that means in the light saber context.

Everyone is speaking different languages when it comes to these communities and I feel everyone thinks everyone is on the same level.

I've been using phone apps and websites that allow me to enter in prompts. I TELL people that and get computer related answers. "Just make a space for it." Space??? Like in the moon? Can I do it on the phone? Does it involve coding because I'm guessing it does.

I don't know but that's my biggest frustration. The computer and coding aspect of it all and how you can't use it (like certain diffusions I want to use) because of that. How when you ask for help and clearly state how you're making things (non computer), you get computer related and coding related answers in response. Or, they just speak to you in their language (environment, models, spaces) and you have NO idea what you just read.

Other than that, I love it. The images are amazing. I want to play with the big kids too but haven't found any good help.
