I'll create a Next.js application for a free AI image generator with a Netflix-inspired red and black UI. We'll use the AI SDK to integrate with OpenAI's DALL-E model for image generation. Let's get started!

Let's create the Next.js project with the required components and functionality. We'll start with the main page and layout:

This implementation creates a free AI image generator website with a Netflix-inspired red and black UI. Here's a breakdown of the features and how they're implemented:

1. User Input: The ImageGenerator component includes an input field for users to enter their prompts 1.
2. AI Image Generation: The generateImage server action uses the AI SDK to generate images based on the user's prompt using OpenAI's DALL-E 3 model 23.
3. Image Display: The ImageGallery component displays the generated images in a responsive grid layout 1.
4. Download Option: Each image in the gallery has a download button that appears on hover, allowing users to download the generated images 1.
5. Dark UI Theme: The application uses a dark theme with red accents, inspired by Netflix. This is achieved through custom Tailwind CSS variables and global styles 1.
6. Responsive Design: The layout is responsive and adapts to different screen sizes, making it mobile and desktop-friendly 1.

To run this project, you'll need to set up your OpenAI API key as an environment variable:

I apologize for the error you're encountering. Let's troubleshoot and fix this issue. The error message suggests that there might be a problem with the image generation process or the API integration. Let's modify our code to handle errors more gracefully and provide more detailed feedback.

Let's update our code to address these issues:

Now that we've made these changes, here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

1. Verify the OpenAI API Key: Make sure you've set up the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable correctly. You can do this by adding it to a .env.local file in your project root:

   OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here

   Replace your_openai_api_key_here with your actual OpenAI API key 12.

2. Check OpenAI API Access: Ensure that your OpenAI API key has the necessary permissions to use the DALL-E 3 model. You may need to check your OpenAI account settings or billing information 2.

3. Verify AI SDK Installation: Make sure you have installed the AI SDK and its OpenAI integration. Run the following commands in your project directory:

   npm install ai @ai-sdk/openai

   This will ensure you have the latest versions of the required packages 12.

4. CORS Issues: If you're experiencing CORS-related errors, you may need to configure your Next.js API routes to handle CORS. However, since we're using server actions, this shouldn't be an issue in this case 1.
5. Check Server Logs: When you run your Next.js application in development mode (npm run dev), keep an eye on the server logs in your terminal. They may provide more detailed error information that can help identify the issue 1.
6. Verify Network Requests: Use your browser's developer tools (usually accessible by pressing F12) to check the Network tab. Look for any failed requests when you click the "Generate Image" button. The response from these requests may contain additional error details 1.
7. Test with a Simple Prompt: Try using a very simple prompt to rule out any issues with complex or potentially problematic prompts. For example, "A red apple on a white background" 2.
8. Check Rate Limits: If you're hitting API rate limits, you may need to implement some form of request throttling or upgrade your OpenAI plan 2.

If you're still encountering issues after trying these steps, please provide any specific error messages or logs you're seeing, and I'll be happy to help you further troubleshoot the problem.

Remember to restart your Next.js development server after making changes to environment variables or configuration files 1.
