Image Generating AIs

[I updated this page on March 21 to include Adobe Firefly and Bing Creator]

Prepping material for an online Panel Discussion of Generative AI and Photography for ASMP that I will be moderating on March 14, 2023 at 7pm Eastern.

The diagrams below are my attempt at mapping out the current AI-image generating universe.

Note: This list below is not exhaustive. I am only including the tech that is related to text to image generators like Stable Diffusion, DALL-E 2, Midjourney, and Google’s un-released image generator. I haven’t included things like the Lensa AI app.

Stable Diffusion

DALL-E 2

Midjourney

Front end to DALL-E 2 API. Doesn’t appear to offer inpainting and outpainting.
