When AI encounters a QR code, it can only say "Taikula".

Hello everyone, these days I saw on Product Hunt a popular AI product that can generate artistic QR codes through AI drawing. With the wide application of QR codes, it can be used in various industries. For example, embedding this QR code on clothing combines both publicity and aesthetics. In addition, in brand marketing in various industries, providing such a cool QR code will definitely attract more customers.
Discord Account#
Just like MJ, it is deployed on Discord, so if you want to use it, you need to bring your own magic. Although the official website also provides tutorials, they are in English and the operation steps are slightly different. Therefore, based on my experience of being ignorant for a day, I will share with you the detailed operation steps.
Generate Normal QR Code#
First, we open the official website, where we can see the QR code generator. In addition to supporting URLs, it also supports various forms of content. You can choose according to your needs. As for the QR code style options below, you can set them as you like. If you don't want to bother, you can directly generate the QR code and then choose to download it as a PNG.
Join the Channel#
After that, we still click on "Join the Beta" on the official website, and it will redirect to Discord. You need to have your own account and once you accept it, you will automatically enter the official channel.
Generate QR Code Link#
First, we find "paste-bin" on the left side, and then send the QR code we just generated there. Pay attention to this step, do not directly click on the three dots in the upper right corner and copy the link, as this method is prone to errors. Instead, we directly click on our own QR code image, then right-click and copy the link, and save it somewhere first.
Of course, if you already have a ready-made QR code, you don't need to go through the above steps. You can directly send it to this paste bin channel. However, it is best to keep the QR code as simple as possible because it adds drawing on the basis of the QR code, and it is not easy to recognize if it is too fancy.
Generate Artistic QR Code#
After that, we can see that there are 5 robot channels on the left side. Just enter one of them, type a slash, choose the first option "generate", and fill in the prompt word and the link to your image.
Prompt Word#
You can generate the prompt word yourself through the AI drawing prompt word website, or you can scroll back and see whose prompt word looks good and directly copy and paste it. The numerical value after "qrw" determines the emphasis of the final image on the QR code. The numerical value after "steps" refers to the number of times the image is sampled (the more steps, the stronger the artistic sense but the lower the readability), which means that a larger value will make the image more pictorial and less recognizable as a QR code.
Recommendation#
Finally, press Enter and wait for a while. It will mention you when it's done. Just download and save it. Sometimes this generated QR code may not be recognizable, so you can try several times. It is recommended to find a style you like from the QR codes generated by others, first try to recognize it, and if successful, use their prompt word information.
