Purplesmart finds out about purplesmart.ai. Anon should have withheld laptop privileges...

Twilight Sparkle has been visiting Anon for some time now and his laptop was the most fascinating of his belongings. A treasure trove of knowledge and entertainment. It was also plain weird to watch a cartoon retelling of your adventures...
But one day Twilight finds out about purplesmart.ai and she gets... Interesting results...

This came about when I myself discovered stable diffusion and purplesmart.ai

Cover was made using purplesmart.ai

(un)Stable Sparkle

Another lazy Sunday morning at Anon's house. The week before was yet another hell filled crap fest at work, as most anons tend to have, and the weekend seemed like a faraway fantasy land. It only stood to reason that Anon slept until 10am until his bladder couldn't hold it anymore and he was forced to get up. Groaning and rolling off the bed, Anon spared a glance at the mirror on his closet. He looked good, the question mark across his face was especially pronounced today.

"Sup' beautiful?" Anon said to himself and snapped his fingers at the reflection.

"Oh, not much." a purple pony head came out of the mirror.

"KYAAAAAAAAAH!!!!" Anon almost peed himself from the scare and jumped about four feet up.

"You really could give Rarity a run for her bits." Twilight Sparkle giggled and fully stepped out of the mirror.

"I damn near pissed myself!" Anon shouted at the young alicorn princess. Feeling his bladder was about to burst he ran to the bathroom and slammed the door. "And I told you to stop observing me from that thing! It's like one of those mirrors at police interrogations." Anon yelled from the bathroom and finally found relief. "Oh sweet baby Jesus..." Twilight followed him and sat in front of the bathroom door. These ponies have no sense of privacy...

"I am not observing you!" Twilight answered sheepishly. "I was just watching you sleep..." she rubbed her hooves together in embarrasement.

"That's creepy." Anon let it flow like a fire was burning in the toilet.

"T-t-to see when you'd wake up!" Twilight stammered out. "We're having lunch today! Hehe. Heh." the alicorn rubbed the back of her head and looked away from the bathroom door. "Can I use your laptop?" she asked when her eyes fell on the genius invention.

"Yeah, whatever." Anon answered and flushed away the Fanta colored water. "Just close whatever's open."

"Okay." Twilight trotted happily towards the laptop and sat down in the comfortable gaming chair. "Did you work late again?" no answer came as Twilight woke the laptop from sleep mode. "Anon?" she turned around in her chair and looked at the door accusingly.

"No?" came the shaky reply of the green bean who was washing his hands.

"Anon, I told you it's not healthy to work yourself to death." Twilight rolled her eyes and went back to the computer. She typed in the password, using her magic to tap the keys, but it said access denied. Before she could ask about it, Anon came out of the bathroom.

"I work for EA. Death is on the horizon." Anon said grimly. "Just like the project I'm working on..." Twilight rolled her eyes and turned back to the laptop.

"What's the new password?" she asked impatiently. There was only so much time before lunch and Wikipedia was waiting!

"Soundwave superior. Lower case, no space." Anon replied and made his way to the kitchen as Twilight typed in the password. "You want something to drink? I'm making coffee but I know you hate the stuff. Got some mint tea if that's-"

"Hey Anon?" Twilight called.

"Yes?" the green faced everyman answered.

"What is stable diffussion?" Anon's question mark quickly turned into an exclamation mark. His body froze and his memory came rushing back. He wasn't working last night, he was playing around in purplesmart.ai, a pony focused stable diffusion algorithm. It's gets worse when you consider the fact that there's a cartoon called My Little Pony that depicts the adventures of Twilight and her friends. "OH MY CELESTIA!" looks like she found the not safe for work section.

"Look, don't freak out.." Anon came back and found a horrified Twililght looking at some abomination of a picture in the safe section of the Discord server, a name she made clear she didn't like the first time she saw it. "Oh. Yeah, that can happen."

"B-b-b-but, but, but, but-"

"I agree, that's a lot of butt." Anon nodded at the picture of a familiar pink pony that was made out of butts.

"Why would anypony do this?" Twilight gagged and quickly scrolled away.

"It's not intentional." as far as Anon was concerned, it 100% was. "To get an image you have to type in a series of prompts and hope for the best I guess." Anon leaned forward and took control of the keyboard. "For example." Twilight watched curiously as Anon typed in a series of prompts and then finally hit enter. "Now we wait a couple of seconds." Twilight watched the screen in anticipation and a smile broke out once an image finally appeared.

"Hey! That's me!" she pointed at the screen.

"Yup." Anon admired his handywork and the cute smile the real Twilight was giving out. "It can get a little janky. For example, there's two screens but we can call the other one a window." the purple mare nodded.

"Oh! And my other wing became the back of the chair!" she giggled and flapped her wings, her feathers brushing against Anon's nose.

"That's right." Anon scratched his nose "Now if we were to reapeat the settings with slightly different parameters we could really polish this up."

"Oh! Oh! Can we? Pleaaaaaaaase?" Twilight jumped up and down in her chair.

"Why don't you do it?" Anon patted her head. "I needs me coffee. Just be careful what you type in. Results can be... Let's say interesting." Twilight tilted her head and her ear twitched.

"What do you mean?" Anon sighed and placed his hands on Twilight's shoulders.

"Twilight." he said seriously. "Stable diffusion can show you great things. Terrible even. It's still a work in progress so don't expect things to turn out the way you want them." he looked at the picture on the screen. "We got lucky this time. It could've had two heads, no wings, a droopy horn, buckteeth, your privates rubbing against-"

"Alright, alright! I get it!" Twilight recoiled in shock. "I'll be careful. No naughty words."

"That's what I said last night..." Anon mumbled to himself. He was awake until 5am to get that anthro Celestia picture just right. Luck was not on his side. "And one more thing." Twilight looked at him curiously. "Please don't think any less of us." he turned around and briskly walked to the kitchen. Twilight blinked in confusion before shrugging and facing the screen.

"Alright." her horn lit up and a purple glow appeared over the keyboard. "Now let's fix my wings and that chair."

Anon sat at the kitchen table and sipped on his coffee. Since he slept in he also began preparing lunch, which was fairly easy since Twilight ate vegetables, fruit and the occassional fish. He decided to make a nice spread of fresh greens for her and settled on mac and cheese for himself. Anon thought about a steak but Twilight got squeamish when he ate meat so he refrained from doing it while she was here. He couldn't help but wonder how long he would last in Equestria without meat.

"Three days, tops." Anon concluded and took out his phone. There were ten missed calls from his boss. "Keep on callin'. You know what I want." he swiped away the notification and opened YouTube to see the latest RTX4090 benchmarks. "We've had these for months. Good card but expensive as hell." he pressed on a video and watched the guy explaining the pros and cons of the card when he heard Twilight scream.

"NOOOOOOO!!! I WAS SO CLOSE!!!" Anon snickered and went back to his phone. Yup, sometimes you get close to greatness only for it to slip away. He continued to watch the video for a few more minutes when another yell echoed through the house.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CRASHED?" Anon rolled his eyes and continued watching. Looks like the new cards will run Cyberpunk at 4k on insane settings.

"That's not supposed to go in there!" Anon dropped his phone and felt a disturbance in the force. "How's it even going to fit?" the crazy mare did it. She reached the NSFW section.

"That was fast." Anon wanted to rush in there and snatch the laptop away but she had to learn the hard way about anons. It would also be too much fun to not see her twilighting. Grabbing a bag of chips from the cupboard he sat back and waited for the show. Sure enough...

"Why would somepony do that?" he could hear Twilight gag. "Oh no! Not Celestia too!"

"Oh yes, her too." Anon grinned. "Step on me, mommy."

"Her butt is not that big!" Anon almost fell from his chair. "Well, maybe it is, but that's not the point! I have to fix this!" Anon got back up to his chair and continued munching on his chips. "No! I wrote less butt, not lesbian!"

"I have to see this!" Anon snatched his phone and opened Discord. He quickly found the room Twilight was in and sure enough, Luna licking Celestia's butt that was made of cake.

"Don't copy it!" multiple images of Luna and Celestia suddenly filled the screen and Anon had to cover his mouth so Twilight doesn't hear him laugh. "Oh yeah? Two can play this game!" Anon's brow curve raised and he awaited Twilight's response to folk making dirty images of her mentor. After a few minutes an image of a male anon being face-fucked by a really Big Mac appeared. "How you like them apples?" from the look of the anon, he liked Mac's apples very much since they were inside his mouth.

"Oh gawd!" Anon was half distrubed but also half impressed. The image looked pretty good with some minor errors. Pretty sure this'll end up on derpibooru or e621 soon.

"Oh my..." Twilight gasped and Anon put a hand on his ear to hear better. "Is that... Me?" Anon's eye... Socket? Regardless, it twitched. "And Flash Sentry?" Anon stood from his char and slowly walked towards his room. "I mean, ponies always say we should go on a date." Anon leaned on the wall next to the door and waited to see what would happen. "I mean, I can see the appeal..." Anon looked at his phone and quickly found the picture in question. There was apparently some appeal being rammed by Flash Sentry on a balcony. "His sword is soooo big..." Anon could hear a faint creak of the door and he jumped into the room.

"THERE WILL BE NO CLOPPING IN MY HOUSE!!!" Anon pointed a finger at Twilight.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!" the purple mare got so startled she fell out of the chair. "Anon!" she shot him an annoyed look, her cheeks flushed from the steamy material on the screen.

"I think you had enough for one day!" Anon reached for the laptop and closed the browser. He lifted the laptop and it was sitting on the palm of his hand, the screen still open.

"But I was so close to making it perfect!" Twilight pleaded and ran up to Anon. "Just five more minutes!" she stood on her hind legs and placed her front ones on Anon's chest.

"No! I'm not letting you fill out your dirty pony fantasies in my-" as he was scolding her, Anon saw there was another browser open that he didn't notice before. "What the?" his free hand reached the trackpad and Anon used his index finger to lead the cursor over the other browser icon. Tapping the pad gently, the browser expanded and covered the screen. "Oh..."

"Do... Do you like it?" Twilight's ears dropped to her head and she looked at Anon with a cute pout.

"I..." Anon tried to find the words to describe what he was seeing. The picture showed the two of them eating lunch yesterday and laughing about something they said. Anon remembered it clearly like it was yesterday, i mean, it really was yesterday. "How did you do this?" Anon was really impressed with her prompting ability.

"I made a new discord account and switched back and forth." Twilight said sheepishly. "And you were right. There's all sorts of crazy and terible things on there. But it can also be fun and used for something like this." she nuzzled his cheek. "I wanted to do something nice for you since you're my friend." Anon looked at Twilight and couldn't help but smile.

"C'mon." he moved slightly and Twilight dropped back on her hooves. "Let's get his baby to my workstation for some proper upscaling. Got a pair of 4090's to put thorugh their paces." Twilight beamed at him and followed after Anon who made his way towards his gaming room that also doubled as his office. Twilight's tail was swishing happily behind her and there was a pep to her step.

"Can play Minecraft after that? I need to feed my little ponies!"

Author's Note

My first one-shot.
I know "results" and scenes are happening way too fast but I didn't want to drag it out by constantly writing Anon did this or that and so on.

So, what do you think about stable diffusion? I think it's very cool and interesting. It can help you to visualize your characters and if you know how to prompt correctly you can even have two characters or even more on the same picture. I tinkered with it for the past few days and it was a learning experience.
The cover for this took me about 10 tries. I could have taken it further but left it at that. It kinda' played well into Twilight's introduction to it.
I've seen great things, I've seen terrible things, I've seen some things in between. All in all I like it. Purplesmart.ai is designed around ponies but can also be used for general furry generation and even some anime as far as I've seen.
It's can also come in handy when you want to comission your favorite artist. Let's say you generate some cool armor on them but you want a different pose? Poses are genrally forward facing and standing straight, unless you're really good at writing promts and get lucky with seeds.
I did some "concepting" for future characters in my stories and it turned out pretty good. I also did some canon characters with mixed results.
I recommend to set up the standalone version if your PC is powerful enough since the discord version has limitations.

Now here's the obvious question. What about artists?
It's a divisive technology. Some are scared it will take away their income from comissions or just leave them without a job. Others are embracing it and are coming up with some amazing images.
Do I think stable diffusion will replace artists completely? No. There's something about the human factor that an AI can't replicate.
Will I use it to make covers for my stories? Most likely not.
Will I give up on commissioning artists? That's a no.

What are your thoughts on the whole thing?

Also, here's a stable diffusion Orion for those who read my One Hoof at a Time.

I wanted to tweak it more but gave up since this was like attempt no.50 and I said fuck it.
