Comprehensive Introduction to AI Image Generation

Image generation with AI refers to the process of using artificial intelligence techniques, particularly machine learning models, to create images. These AI-generated images can range from realistic and natural-looking pictures to highly creative and abstract compositions. The goal is to develop algorithms that can produce images that are visually pleasing, coherent, and aligned with a certain style or theme.

In this article, we’re taking you on a journey through the core concepts of various image-generation model families. By the end, you’ll gain a solid grasp of these models and their applications, setting the stage for our exploration of the cutting-edge Diffusion Model.
