Generative AI is an artificial intelligence technology that can create various data types, including images, videos, audio, text, synthetic data, and 3D models.
Generative AI builds on existing technologies, like large language models (LLMs), which are trained on large amounts of text and learn to predict the next word in a sentence.

- Midjourney: is a text-to-image generator and creates images based on any description you give it. The platform is capable of understanding and contextualizing even specific prompts. There is general access to Midjourney via a web browser and deeper access via Discord. Midjourney (via Discord) accepts a few extra parameters at the end of the prompt. Type a double hyphen or an em dash followed by the parameter name and the value: https://docs.midjourney.com/docs/parameter-list
Here are a few useful ones: - –chaos changes how varied the results will be, with 0 being the least varied and 100 the maximum. For example, –chaos 80 would be highly varied.
--iw <0–2>sets image prompt weight relative to text weight. The default value is 1.--seed <integer between 0–4294967295>The Midjourney bot uses a seed number to create a field of visual noise, like television static, as a starting point to generate the initial image grids. Seed numbers are generated randomly for each image but can be specified with the –seed or –sameseed parameter. Using the same seed number and prompt will produce similar ending images.- –no handles negative prompts, meaning you can write what you don’t want to see in the image. For example, –-no buildings will prevent the model from drawing buildings.
- –ar changes the aspect ratio of the image. For example, –ar 16:9 would render the image in the 16:9 aspect ratio.
- Stable Diffusion: it enables users to generate images based on details written in text format. You can also perform tasks like outputting, inpainting, and generating image-to-image translations.
