I really appreciate your no nonsense, straight to the point explanations!

[chenchuk]

You summarized in 10min whatever im doing in the last month :) thanks !

[rjmercer]

Very helpful, thanks! Just really getting starting with generate art even though a traditional artist for 50 years.

[TazzSmk]

thanks for starting the series, nice to learn something new again, I had no idea "malicious" models are a thing :)

[jonathanc]

you're very good at explaining things in a simple way. excellent video!

[DJTide]

Thanks for this! Its so benificial to know all this as Ive just been kind of going in blind while following tutorials. Its great to have a channel willing to share so much info!

[iheartjetaviation]

Thank you so much for this excellent video. I accidentally stumbled upon your video, and I'm glad I did. I have been using FOOOCUS AI (based on Stable Diffusion) for about 8 months now. The biggest problem is that there is no repository of information relating to AI image generation, particularly when it comes down to understanding the obscure terminology associated with it. And the biggest issue I've encountered is trying to figure out what all the various sliders, settings, and everything else that's adjustable within the FOOOCUS GUI. As a high school teacher and college instructor, I pay homage to those who, not only understand a topic, but can explain it effectively . Thank you so much. Like and subbed.

[noureddine]

no nonsense, straight to the point explanations!

[johndebattista-qe]

It's good you explain to some people and teach them how to use them like me I have to learn by my mistakes And I like to learn more Thank you to share this video to help us

[IvayloKabakov]

ADetailer somehow managed to sneak out of this video 😄 (see 9:35, 10:14, 10:42, 10:58)

Great video, nonetheless! Such a systematized and consize explanation of the core concepts is a treasure trove.

[MuhammadYasirSarwar]

Thanks for Sharing such insightful concepts. Already i m lovin with CivitAi.

[metairieman]

At last, a simple term introduction that tells me what a function does or is intended for in this expansive world of AI "spaghetti." Can't wait to watch the followup videos . . . keep them coming, CivitAI! --an AI noob.

[nordtechdigital]

Awesome beginners Guide! Loving it! Thank you so much!

[edbello]

That's exactly what I was looking for! Thanx a lot!

[visionseeker]

Great video! It was easy to follow along and comprehend the information.
I recently got a grasp of the concept of LoRAs on your website and wow what a difference it made!

[bankenichi]

Dude, this is fantastic, I wish I had this when I first started learning SD

[MarceloSantosSCS]

Thank you very much for this content, it is extremely important for those who want to learn how to use SD, and frankly, it could be a paid course, given the didactics, amount of detail and quality of the material you are giving us for free.

[metasamsara]

this video desperately needs an update with all the new types of models.

[FlavioMarquesInf]

I use "Stability Matrix" as AI image generation manager

[alex-izvw]

Thanks, this helped me understand a lot of concepts🥰
