I recommend trying the free version of ChatGPT, and if you like that, maybe upgrade to a abo subscription, like the Pro version of ChatGPT, later. This way, you can create ISFs like this and do a thousand other things with them too.
Therefore, I can't really recommend Cursor-AI here, even just looking at the demo video: the effect they create is really cheap, and there are already like 20 versions of it available for free on the ISF platform. I don't need any AI or anything like for that result.
And pre-installing something "??"" for a web cloud? So I can just start installing "Stable Diffusion" or something like that but for $0.
And one thing you must be clear about is that you can license everything you do with ChatGPT however you want; you can always get additional insurance from ChatGPT for that point, no problem!
Greetings bennoH.
You have fare points . I also like to invite anyone to keep looking into this world and growing opportunities to take human ideas into code for visuals or whatever ;)
This looks extremely interesting to me, but I'll have to take a closer look at it, and I find the prices a bit high, as I've been doing exactly that lately with free AI's like Gemini or ChatGPT.
And, as you know, I'm a rather critical tester and suspect that if this costs something, it won't live up to my correspondingly high standards and expectations. The free mode probably won't lead to good shaders, as it usually takes a lot of prompts before you get great ISF's and something clever, in my experience!
I also find the fact that you have to install something even though it's running on a cloud, which I like, a bit questionable and even suspect.
I'll get back to you when/if I've tested it.
