So it may seem easy, but having images in your mind is a far cry from what you may get with text to image prompts. It’s an art of sorts to push image makers to create something that is “successful.” The process is similar to photography in that many, many images need to be generated and then the best is selected through an editing process. Image generation has the added step of writing, tweaking and re-editing the prompt many times to try to veer the generator in the desired direction. As I continue to generate images, prompt writing is a constant challenge. The prompt is a living, always changing and evolving part of my ai project creative process now.

Images generated with stable diffusion 2.1

ai image generation: a journey

I became intrigued with ai image generation as a way to quickly iterate ideas and concepts. This was one of my first “successful” generations from stable diffusion 2.1. At this point I’ve generated many images from a number of image generators. I’ve used the free versions, and no images I have generated have been sourced from other artists. Though there is controversy surrounding it, to me, ai is a useful and powerful new tool for artists, just as the computer was when it became available. This blog was created to share a glimpse of my ai project journey. The work I create influences the ai images I generate and vice versa in an ongoing dialogue.
