Stable Diffusion brings image generation to local hardware
The public release of Stable Diffusion widened access to text-to-image generation and enabled a large ecosystem of adaptations.

That openness accelerated experimentation while intensifying debates over training data, consent, copyright and misuse.Sources & references 2 sources
