1300+ AI Noun Matching Vocabulary Challenge

In the pursuit of creating something usable in the classroom with the aid of AI, my recent side project has been diligently guiding generative AI to conjure up 1500 high-frequency English nouns at a crisp 512×512 resolution. Armed with a vector image LoRA and the RealisticVision5.1@2GB model, I optimistically hoped for a display of uniform elegance, however, it did not work out 100% as I expected. I commenced the task on my reliable GTX 1050, with its 640 CUDA cores proving surprisingly resilient (this is not a powerful GPU) – happy to say, it did not die. Employing Stable Diffusion on a Linux machine – running on bare metal – I don’t VM, the machine marched on without a hiccup, poised to deliver the 1525 images in a modest 26 hours. A brief export at 1000 revealed a trove of organized wonders, ready for scrutiny to unveil the inevitable quirks and amusing oddities. I cut a bit over 200 images – so here are the matching tasks, in sets of 10. Here are the 1525 images at 512×512.
