Rather than generating complete results with only high-level user guidance, this prototype shows how AI can function as a brush in the hands of an artist. In some cases, this can lead to the need for careful prompt engineering and unpredictable results that appear difficult to control. This prototype achieves an inference speed of 0.23-0.15s
