Text-to-Image
A type of generative AI that creates original pictures and artwork based on a written description.
In Plain English
Text-to-image AI is like having a lightning-fast illustrator at your command. You type a description of what you want to see, and the AI uses its understanding of visual concepts to paint it from scratch. It does not search the internet for an existing photo; it generates a brand new arrangement of pixels. Popular tools include Midjourney and DALL-E.
Real-World Example
Typing "a futuristic city made of glass at sunset" and receiving a high-definition digital painting of exactly that.
