Lecture
This class will introduce us to the world of AI generated imagery. We will explore multiple models and platforms including Adobe Firefly, Adobe Photoshop Generative Fill, MidJourney, Stable Diffusion, Dalle and Flux. We will also be discussing different techniques for writing text-to-image prompts as well as out-painting, in-painting, composition reference, style reference, character reference, etc. We will also touch upon issues with commercial use and ownership, output issues, protecting your art and digital assets and test your skills when it comes to identifying what is AI generated versus human created.
In Class Assignment
- Test your ability to see if you can tell what is AI generated versus human generated at thisimagedoesnotexist.com and share your score on Slack.
- Play with AI image generators to see what you can output and try to test the same prompt on multiple platforms to see the difference in the outputs.
- Explore the Spaces on Hugging Face. Share on Slack what Spaces you found interesting and why.
