       | If so, the SVGification process is interesting, but this has
       | basically nothing to do with Stable Diffusion; you could just as
       | easily have done this with photos.

       | use cases.

         | honestly seems like a way to harvest emails more than anything.

       | Cool!

       | Is this doing something more than just generating bitmap images
       | with stable diffusion and then running some vectorizer on top?
       | Maybe just adding "vector art" to the prompts or is there more
       | going on?

         | that way.
