Not "world's first" by a long shot.

Someone's made a python script in June 2024 to do it semi-automatically using SD 1.5: https://github.com/414design/4lph4bet_processor

For a brief moment I thought the title was referring to Adobe Illustrator.

The writing style of this was so chaotic. I loved it, in a loopy, end-of-day sort of way

> I also found out that my friend's company got charged $2,000 per character. WTF.

Is there more context to this? I can't see anything preceding it that explains what it's referencing.

I had tried vector based work a couple years ago and generative AI models were very limited at keeping up

I could see them being better now, havent revisited

Pretty interesting that this much is possible. Too bad the fonts are terrible.
