Let me update your heuristics on this. Computer mice are practically obsolete. People use cell phones, not computers. No one needs a cli to run stable diffusion because a mobile web interface was released on day one. 6.6 billion people have a smartphone which is 83% of the world’s population (including the infants). This is about the same number of people who are literate.

4 out of 5 people globally would be able to submit a stable diffusion prompt and view a result. Most would have no idea what the hell was going on or even why it was interesting.

This is the funniest part to me, because so many people already think this is how digital art worked to begin with.

There are already web sites that will run the underlying models, requiring no installation.

The neat new applications that have taken over this site for the last couple days sometimes require CLI steps to install because they are in active development and it can be easier to experiment with something local. I'm sure they'll either be moved online or wrapped in nice installers over the next couple weeks.

They can use it from their phone or tablet.
