Someone recently asked me how they can create simple cartoons with AI

this is the easiest/best solution I can see that’s free

Flux AI Image generator(https://fluxaiimagegenerator.com/flux-schnell) is free for up to 5 images a day, and ChatGPT(free) is good enough to write prompts for it. While it does have image generation, it is not nearly as good as Flux.(though it still does a good job)

The method is simple

  1. Go to ChatGPT, describe the cartoon you want, and ask for a prompt for Flux Image generator
  2. Go to Flux image generator, and paste the prompt ChatGPT gave you.
  3. enjoy
  4. You can freely converse with ChatGPT to modify the prompt for you

Yes, text generation is a problem, you can fix this in an image editor of your choice - the markup tool in your phone photos app or canva as a simple one, or Pixelmator or Affinity whatever.
