So, you asked me to write this small introduction to AI and generating images using AI. Well, here it goes. First of all, fair warning: I am not an artist. If you give me a pen and paper and ask me to draw something, you would die of laughter seeing those stick figures. The true artists are users like @NelltheWeaver and @JuliaPod_art; they have real talent. This is something else; I consider this a bit of cheating. No, let's make it clear: this is cheating, using tools that real artists don't need. I will concentrate just on the free tools; let's skip the paid versions of AI tools. You can get them yourself after you have tried the free versions. The first tool is Bings AI copilot chat: The second tool is ChatGPT: ChatGPT is a free-to-use chat-based AI that does not have the capability to generate images. However, it has tremendous capabilities to analyze, edit, rewrite, and expand your ideas into a format that Bing or any other AI understands. Prompts play a crucial role in your journey with image-generating AI. A good prompt makes it easier to create the image you have in mind, whether it's something you've envisioned or imagined. On the other hand, a bad prompt can result in an image that lacks accuracy or is entirely incorrect. Think of prompts as akin to blueprints in a construction project. Just as blueprints provide precise instructions and specifications for building a structure, prompts provide guidance and descriptions for AI to craft a specific image. Architects and builders rely on detailed blueprints to bring their vision to life, and in the same way, users depend on well-crafted prompts to help AI generate images that align with their ideas or concepts. The more detailed and accurate the prompt, the better the final image will be. So, how do you write a good prompt? Well, first, you need an idea. Let's try to create a metal-loving Moomin. What does that look like in your mind? For me, and the sake of this example, let's keep it quite simple. I imagine a Moomin with ripped jeans, dark purple mohawk hair, leather combat boots, and a band t-shirt that's faded. That is enough for now you could expand that prompt yourself or you can cheat a bit. Let's go with the cheating part. Open ChatGPT. Just ask the AI to do this: Write me a prompt for image-generative AI using this description: a Moomin with ripped jeans, dark purple mohawk hair, leather combat boots, and a band t-shirt that's faded. *** the answer will be quite simple: "Generate an image of a Moomin character sporting ripped jeans, dark purple mohawk hair, leather combat boots, and wearing a faded band t-shirt." But now comes the fun part: ask it to add to that prompt The echoing music coming from a stereo player on the ground. The silent swaying of the Moomin in tune with the music. What does the prompt look like now? "Generate an image of a Moomin character with ripped jeans, dark purple mohawk hair, leather combat boots, and wearing a faded band t-shirt. Surround the Moomin with an atmosphere of echoing music coming from a stereo player on the ground, capturing the silent swaying of the Moomin in tune with the music." It added more to the prompt than you asked for; it expanded your idea. This is the power that ChatGPT grants you when crafting prompts. It is, in itself, an AI capable of composing effective prompts for AI. Utilize vivid, detailed language, incorporate emotions and moods, employ metaphorical expressions, and remember, the sky is the limit. Let's see what this prompt will generate... Open the Bing AI and input the prompt into the chat to see something quite wondrous happening. Pretty good for this prompt. We left out the sky and the background; we did not describe them to the AI at all. So, it's mostly just black or grey. Hopefully, this starts a wonderful journey for you. It certainly did for me. Only your imagination and the prompts you weave, Set the boundaries for your creations. Hopefully, this starts a wonderful journey to AI and its capabilities for you. It certainly did for me
