I know, but it's a tecnical information that its now online. There are also a lot of alternatives out there which are free to use, like Nightcafe, also very good or even Dall-E (the first) or better Craiyon, completly free and some others which you can find in AlternativeTo. There is also ArtBreeder (no is text2image, it works in another manner), which is also paid, but permits a free use, but limit the up or downloads of images to mix, but there are a lot of images you can use for source and instead of download, well, use simply a screenshot ;)

Oh here are a few I tried to get the pics above. Each time you run it something new comes out, but they have a certain common feel to them based on the prompt.
- a face made of golden hour, spitting acid, Lightpainting, Tom Bagshaw, abstract, Set in the Rocky Mountains
- A cat portrait in space, nebula by Dan Mumford and Umberto Boccioni, oil on canvas
- celestial crow with a nebula background by Guweiz and Dan Mumford, oil on canvas
- a woman hiding in the shadows on a ruined world, futuristic post-apocalyptic vibe, all the streets are on fire and smoke, humble philosopher
this site has a lot of fun prompts to try, and I find recombining them can get really neat results https://arthub.ai/
