I found that using Generative AI platforms like DALLE-2 and Midjourney was tricky and time-consuming - it takes ages, and the right prompt, to get what you want. So I built this curation platform, where you can ask a professional creator to curate you the best output from Generative AI platforms, given what you want. I'd love any feedback from the community on whether it's useful / what I should change!

Valiant, but isn’t the entire point that the cost of generation is so low you don’t need a curator.

Any of the APIs can just spit out 100 variants for far less than $5, so why bother with curation?

Yeah, fair point. I've sunk hours into using the platforms themselves trying to get the right image, and not managed it. I personally would have paid a curator to find me the right thing. But I'm keen to work out whether other people have this problem.

I'm also hopeful it could be a way to continue to get money to creators in an age of generative AI!
