Yeah, the text-to-image seems to be highly dependent on whether the generator knows how to generate the specific objects the text model thinks should be in the image. I got much more consistent results using the semantic segmentation drawing as input:

(and for what it's worth, you're totally right that the UI is just an absolute disaster)

The picture you drew and had it turn into rocks is actually really cool!

I think I would have been more generous to the project had I known it could do that. Maybe I X'd out of the frustrating tutorial too early? :)

Yes but the selection is lost if you press enter out of habit. I had the same frustration until I realized what happened which turned that into anger :)

Maybe I'm just too old for tech demos.

Nah, the UI is not very intuitive, so there's plenty of blame to go around :-)
