Is there any way or any instance of free image generation tools floating around the internet?

All those free services I tried, always produce garbaggio results. Where is the actual good stuff?

You can get results as good or better than Midjourney with stable diffusion....but it's not as streamlined as Midjourney is. you have to find the right model on Civitai.com, you have to craft the prompt right, you can use controlnet. And then if you want to go the extra mile, refine it with img2img.

The extreme configurability that comes from running Stable Diffusion locally can be blessing and/or curse. You need to fiddle around and get experienced with the settings to get good results, but once you get good at that you can get really good results.

Not sure how you mean. Stable Diffusion is the golden standard right now and it's free. You just have to run it locally on your own hardware for the full configurability and features. It's a pretty steep learning curve, and requires a decent, discreet GPU.

Stable diffusion + Automatic1111 + custom models and LoRAs. Completely free, only takes an hour or so to set up, and is top of the line.

large models are actually really expensive to run: either run it yourself, or put up with the fact that someone’s not going to pay a lot for people to just use because reasons?
