so incredibly garbage it’s genuinely unusable
I take it this is that famous "constructive feedback" I keep hearing about? :)
Image generation is fine; revise your prompts. I can help you with it, if you like, long as it's PG-13 (else sorry but nope).
Or better yet, check the galleries and steal some ideas, that works too. Sometimes there's rather nice-looking stuff posted on the default gen (this one).
Instances of AI artifacting have multiplied exponentially, the system barely follows prompts, characters are jumbled messes of blurry features, it’s awful.
I go from looking at what other people are making as well as my own experience, for what it's worth, and I cannot see your statement as anything other than hyperbole, if not outright fiction. Sorry.
I would be happy to pay for access to the better model, or a subscription for improved functionality, just anything but this.
Facepalms echo across the galaxy!
Even if we ignored the implicit question -- would you even still be here -- you'd nevertheless shoot yourself in the foot with this one. What we have now is better AND we have access to it for free, yet people ask for a subscription on top of a downgrade! How about NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO???
Look, I don't know. I get the feeling that you have not put the slightest effort in trying to learn how to prompt effectively, because if you had, we wouldn't be having this discussion. Or put more succinctly:

Meant only as a friendly poke, lets not get ahead of ourselves.
Anyway, assuming I haven't yet antagonized every fiber of your being, my offer is honest, so you tell me if you need help.
OK byeeee :D
