I’m experimenting with image generation in swift. The images are just soooo good, I can’t explain but look at this dolphin and tell me that’s not an amazing image. 😂🤩🐬 (It’s cropped out of a screenshot)

I know it’s slop. But it’s just so bad that I think it’s funny again. (Also this is locally generated)

What do you mean "in swift"?

Using the ImageCreator from the ImagePlayground framework in Swift (the programming language). As far as I know it’s using on device models to create the images, and that sounded fun. I hadn’t used it before. But it’s actually quite easy to use. I also managed to get “good” images.

Worked with Swift for like 10 years and never heard of the ImagePlayground :)

Yeah it’s a new API. I think it was a part of iOS26? Or the one before that? I also thought I would have to use the same image generation interface like Apple offers for Genmoji. But actually you can generate images with ImageGenerator quite easily, and then show the when they are done.
