I just thought I'd talk about and show you some examples of the new Stable Diffusion XL 0.9. First things first, you can try it out at https://clipdrop.co/stable-diffusion  You can use it for free but you only get four or five images, however if you sign in with your e-mail you can generate as many images as you want. They've included new styles with it and I have to say this version is a pretty big leap forward. The image quality and coherency is greatly improved. Sure it'll still make the odd mistake once in a while but it doesn't happen quite as often. For being a beta version I'm already pretty impressed. The final version will be coming out later this month. I'll be listing some of the prompts and styles that I've used to make these images. I didn't use all the styles but I did use most of them. BTW no processing was used with these images. The only thing I did was to reduce the resolution from 2048X2048 to 1024X1024.

Prompt: Spiderman sitting on top of building looking down.

This next one shows that, for the most part, text will work with the images. It may take a couple of tries but it works.

Prompt: anthromorphic mouse holding up a sign reading "cheese please!"

Style: Fantasy Art

These next ones, to me, came out exceptionally well.

Prompt: maine coon cat lounging on black leather sofa

Style: Photographic

Now, I know there are people who feel that A.I. generated images are "soulless" but my answer to them are these two images. (I chose two because I like the way both of them turned out.)

Prompt for both images: woman holding her newborn baby

Style: Photographic

I'd also like to point you to a couple of A.I. oriented videos from YouTube. First there's MattVidPro who covers everything A.I. and he seems to really like SD XL 0.9 and he gives it a fair comparison to Midjourney. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VUBlCv6Z8g

Then there's AItrepeneur who gives it a very good review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XR5BMIYaxQ8

That's it. Hope you liked the images and the YouTube videos and maybe you'll give this a try.

I realize there's a lot of images here but I just wanted to show some of the variety you can get with the new Stable Diffusiion XL.
