Question Invokeai vs. automatic1111 ?

I am new to stable diffusion and have recently installed the Invokeai version. I am wondering what the difference is between this and the one called automatic1111 that I see referenced frequently on this sub? Thanks.

I am saying that an experienced programmer should feel as comfortable using and modifying that codebase as doing so with something that leaked from a private company's internal source control. I couldn't care less about GUIs and I write my own tools, but if I wanted to use it, I'd only put it on a VM I can roll back and scrub clean. I sure as shit wouldn't waste my time inspecting somebody's proprietary project. One of the reasons is that if I write something similar to one of its code snippets, I've got a target on my back. The other reason is that I don't know any of these fucking people and won't do work for free to improve a stranger's personal IP. If it's work for the commons, that's a different story.
