There is now a ChatGPT plugin for Automatic1111. It allows you to use ChatGPT to write the prompts for your diffusion models. I don't really know how useful that is, but it is neat.

The other is an open source webui used for running large language models. You can run unlobotomized models, provided you have the hardware. It looks like it takes some serious ram and vram (~24Gb).

Good luck to those of you who have the hardware.
You can use Google Collab to do it if you don't have the power. This was added by a comment, thank you CatoTheElder.
