How to Geek – “AI-generated images are everywhere now, and the very best of them look so good you’d never know they were made by a machine and not by a human. But, how is this possible? The answer to how AI image generation works is both simple, and very complicated.

• AI-generated images rely on diffusion to create realistic pictures from pure noise, reversing the process step by step.
• Ongoing training and refinement of AI models, with user input, have greatly improved image quality over years.
• Text prompts are used to generate images, with additional parameters and generative fill tools enhancing results.
