Show HN: Stable Diffusion v2 web interface

Saying that it requires login before someone spends time to think up a description for an image would have been nice (because I won't sign-in to try something anyways).

Edit: rephrased to remove overly negative language.

I hate it when website hide login popup until user click on action button. It's such a dark pattern.

FWIW, you're not the only one. On our product, we experimented adding login when the user tries to use any of our tools and something like ~60-70% of users dropped off. So essentially, whoever implements that is killing their user funnel at the very beginning which I'm guessing will have larger effects down the road (fewer users experience "magical moments" which leads to less word-of-mouth, etc).

On the flip side though, I'm sure it may help metrics in the short term especially since it's expensive to offer a service like this (which requires expensive GPU servers).

I don't see this as baiting. The link to a tool page was shared. It's transparent on the homepage and in the header. The text to image page just shows how it works without the need to create an account.

But do you allow high res nsfw Emma Watson prompts?

It's absolutely not transparent. Showing an active "start process" button that leads to a sign up / login form isntead of starting the process is absolutely not what users want or expect.
