Unsplash has a ton of free content and a great api - so I used the hugchat api to generate search queries based on some user input text and fetched images from there.

Buggy test site (using all free api’s so will break frequently, free Unsplash* api is 50 pics/h) here: http://aisitegeneration.devsoft.co.za *sorry Unsplash I haven’t added the attribution for photo’s yet, I will soon ok?

Thoughts on this approach vs generative AI?

    I think I broke it. I told it my company was called Waldo’s Wands and I was in the transport industry - I got a transport intro, a list of magic wand services, and a cannabis picture!

      I did that on purpose! It’s my shop, gocha

      Seriously though, the Unsplash search is pretty rubbish. Also, I’m only returning the first image from search (I only have 50/h) , could probably improve the search on my side by checking metadata or something. At least the plant has the right number of leaves, right?

        Actually now that I think of it - I think I made the last image do a search using only the company name (to avoid same images as others above) so you probably got “Waldo’s Weed” there!
