Let me add to my post. I am using Perchance. I didn't make that clear. I am not sure what system it uses. I am only a beginner at this. I use it primarily because it is completely free. There are no credits to earn or anything to buy. Most other "free" sites offer 5-10 start up credits then want you to purchase a credit package to continue to use them. My original intent was to take a picture I have of someone I know and use that face to create a character. I was told that was image to image AI. I found a few free trial ones but they either take your original and digitize it or make you use it in their pre-designated environments they offer. You can't create an image and use it to create your own environment. So, I am stuck with text to image which only works sometimes and will only work if the AI knows the person you designate. For example, if I say Taylor Swift on a beach in a bikini, it will generate and image likeness of her in the environment I specified, but ONLY if I use words they will allow. If I say, put my friend Cheryl in a similar picture, I get some stranger that looks nothing like her. I tried the Taylor thing on Bing to test it out and it won't do it because I used words Bing felt were inappropriate. That isn't exactly porn. There are actual pictures of that on the internet. There is no creative freedom on most of the AI sites available. Perchance was the only one that would allow that and was totally free and had unlimited usage. I am just trying to learn this technique. I am not looking to spend big money on this, but I would like something that is consistent.
Taylor Swift alone gets the image blocked every time on Bing.
Given that all my experience is with Bing, all I can add with confidence is that given the goal you have, Bing is not the tool for the job.
I'd hazard a guess that you're better off learning to edit pictures to get what you're going for.
