Utilize AI Image Generators to Create Spectacular Images in a few seconds!

Recent years have seen substantial progress in artificial intelligence (AI), including the ability to produce genuine visuals and illustrations. Generative models of AI are capable of producing visuals that are difficult to differentiate from those made by humans. The core concept of these applications is that AI creates graphics based on the keywords. Images will be more accurate the more keywords you enter.

How AI generates all those images?

if you are not interested with technical details, you can skip to next section.

Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) Structure

One of the most common way GAN. Structure has two parts: Generator and discriminator. Generator generates the images and discriminator checks whether the image is similar to real or not. Discriminator penalizes the generator for producind implausible results.

When training begins, the generator produces obviously fake data, and the discriminator quickly learns to tell that it’s fake:

Discriminator and Generator Example 1

As training progresses, the generator gets closer to producing output that can fool the discriminator:

Discriminator and Generator Example 2

Finally, if generator training goes well, the discriminator gets worse at telling the difference between real and fake. It starts to classify fake data as real, and its accuracy decreases.

Variational Autoencoder is another sort of generative model (VAE).

A Variational Autoencoder (VAE) is a type of machine learning model that can generate new, similar data based on a set of input data. Think of it like a copy machine that can make multiple copies of a document, but with slight variations each time.

VAE Example(Shoe color is varied)

Generative models are computer programmes that can generate images of objects, animals and even humans that are difficult to distinguish from real-world images. For example, a model trained on the works of a specific artist can generate new images in the style of that artist such as Van Gogh or Monet.

AI-generated graphics and sketches are still in their infancy, but they have already demonstrated remarkable promise. As technology advances, we should anticipate AI to generate ever more realistic and intelligent visuals in the future.

Will AI replace the Artists?

In my opinion, as the creative process involves more than simply technical competence, it is unlikely that AI will entirely replace artists. Artificial intelligence (AI) is capable of producing art, but it lacks the human emotions and experiences that frequently inspire it. In addition, the demand for human-made art is probably eternal. AI, however, has the potential to transform the art world by increasing the production of art and making it simpler for humans to make it.

To sum up, AI image generators great for creating new content or complemental for your existing contents. You may create images for you dark fantasy novel or visualize your last night dream. You may think AI like an amplifier of your creativity. The more you are creative you may utilize the AI further!

How can I use AI Generated Images for earn some money?

If there is no copyright limitations, you able to use the AI generated images and earn some money. There are plenty ways which have potential for earning some money if you are commit to your business model. Here some possible ways to monetize AI generated images:

  1. Sell the images on stock photo websites like Shutterstock or iStock.
  2. Use the images as part of a larger project, such as creating a website or designing a product, and then charge for that service.
  3. Create an online store and sell physical products like phone cases, t-shirts, and other items featuring the AI generated images.
  4. Offer a service to generate custom images for businesses or individuals.
  5. Create a subscription-based service that provides access to a library of AI generated images.

Combine or get inspired by this monetization business models and try to find out your own business models. If your business model is brilliant enough you may make a good amount money with using AI generated images.

Is AI Generated Images have Copyright?

It is important to note that you should always make sure that you have the rights to use and sell any images that you generate with AI. Additionally, check any legalities on the use of AI generated images. If there is a copyright issue about this photos, the service provider will inform you.

My favorite AI image generators:

NightCafe Creator

NightCafe Creator is an online website which draws image on your mind with different perspectives. NightCafe Creator is an AI Art Generator app with multiple methods of AI art generation. Using text-to-image AI, you can create an artwork from nothing but a text prompt. You can examine the service by clicking here.

Midjourney

Midjourney is an image generator that uses machine learning techniques to generate new, unique images. The name “midjourney” suggests that the generator is capable of creating diverse and dynamic images, as if it is in the middle of a journey. This image generator is built on top of GPT-3 and uses the latest deep learning tools to generate high-quality images. The cool feature about midjourney is you can access the other people’s drawings and even modify them further!

You can use midjourney by joining their discord channel. Click here to start to using midjourney.

DALL·E 2 (Not released yet, will be released in mid 2023)

DALL·E 2 can create original, realistic images and art from a
text description. It can combine concepts, attributes, and styles. One cool feature about DALL·E 2 is to expand existing images. It is possible to expand any image beyond its frame! The example of this application is given in website. You can access DALL·E 2 by clicking here.

Conclusion

To sum up, artificial intelligence (AI) generated images have the potential to completely change how we create and use visual content. They have a wide range of uses, from product design to stock photography, and they can provide new opportunities for entrepreneurs and creators. But it’s crucial to be aware of the moral and legal implications of using these pictures, as well as to make sure you have the permissions to do so.

AI-generated images can be a potent tool for creating interesting and distinctive visuals that can help you stand out in a crowded market with the right approach and the right tools.
