Playing with Kakao's AI artist "Karlo" with B-Discover

Kakao has their own AI system known as KakaoBrain which includes several aspects including KoGPT (English introduction press release article), which handles natural language chatting and writing similar to the now famous ChatGPT. It also has its own AI image generation tool which they've called Karlo, and have made its use available for free (currently) in an app called "B^Discover" which you can try right now.

I decided to download the app and play around with it. It's actually quite fun. I know there are other maybe more famous apps like this, but it seems like some effort to install them for your own personal use, or else you need to purchase credits (or sign up for limited free credits) to use it in the cloud. 

However B-Discover only needs to have the app installed, and then (for now) you can generate as many images with as many prompts as you want, completely free. You only need to sign in (can be done via Google account) if you want to keep your image generation history. 

Here are a few examples I tried out just for fun.

Each time it will generate 6 images for you. Pick the one you like most and it will upsize it. You can also ask it to regenerate a different set of 6. Then easily share it to whatever app or download you want.
