I tried SD once and it was pretty good. It was a bit difficult, of course. Now I want to try image generation again. Do you still think I should use SD or a different tool?
The hottest model now is flux, and the community is gravitating toward it after the failure of stable diffusion 3.
Tooling around it is still nascent and it is very demanding (12GB+ VRAM GPU highly recommended) so you could also start with Stable Diffusion XL, fairly mature at this point.
