Make AI art based off of your own likeness by using #dreambooth and #stablediffusion. Just like Corridor Crew in 'Is This The Death Of VFX?' You do not need a high spec GPU to run it, Google Colab handles it all!
What a month, it's taken me over 30 days to really figure this all out and get to a point where I fully understand the workflow, hopefully this guide helps you out so you can avoid all the faff I went through.
